Probably still their finest moment, this wonderful song was the one that convinced me that there was some substance beneath the hype. Still sounding amazing today. The chorus couplet of "Under neon loneliness/Motorcycle emptiness" is so brilliant isn't it. The whole lyric is brilliant though. It should have been number one everywhere for three months.
B side slow-burner "Bored Out Of My Mind" is great too. Also included are a couple of live tracks, "Under My Wheels" coming from a BBC session and a version of "Crucifix Kiss" recorded live at the (much missed) Astoria.
