The 80's were a part of the golden age of the recording industry, so music really had its significance at the time. Songs like this still get a lot of airplay on the radio to this day, whereas back then, songs from the 1940's didn't necessarily.

Nik was forced to release his first two albums in a space of 9 months by the A+R guys at his music company. He also fitted a world tour in during this time. The lyrics are nonsense, purely to fit into the tune he wrote very fast. The guy is a legend of the British music industry.

We were probably much more innocent in our knowledge of the world, but we had street smarts and self confidence. I am so sad children today can't have any of that, that the world has changed so much and there is so much more pressure on them to understand it's problems and dangers so much younger than we had to.

This is art. The music theory analysis on this song is crazy. Chords where there shouldn't be for a pop song. And the lyrics were written under time pressure and are supposed to be "bollocks" but actually make artistic sense when analyzed. A tree by a river there's a hole in the ground is how you draw a question mark. And then there's the completely bonkers music video. An absolutely enigmatic riddle.
