The best club night ever in Birmingham was Tuesday night’s Click Club at Burberries on Broad Street between 1988 and 1990. Thereafter Burberries shut down and it moved around small Birmingham venues so much that nobody ever seemed to know where it was and numbers dwindled. It eventually resurfaced as indie became more mainstream as the Friday night club night, Freak Scene at Snobs. Burberries was always the best though.
I made a Spotify playlist to celebrate Tuesday Night’s at Burberries. It’s collaborative so if you ever went feel free to add tracks. Be warned though, I do have my own specific memories of the place and if I don’t think a track got played there regularly I reserve the right to remove it from the list.
This was a favourite track and always resulted in much angst ridden posturing that I think pretty much answers the overiding question in this song. The answer is probably something along the lines of “because you’re an awkward, self conscious angst ridden freak in a cardigan.”
How I look at the emo kids and laugh and their self-indulgence.

i was a big fan of the femmes in the 80′s too… “country death song”… so simple, and effective.
albums with songs about either christianity or stalking fantasies made for difficult listening!
