I saw a clip of this on The Chart Show one Saturday morning and bought the 7" single in Edinburgh that day. The Wedding Present were the first band I discovered for myself. I have an older brother and I had previously just listened to his records, which was mostly punk, post-punk, new-wave, New Romantic and the Smiths. I then found out a guy I knew was a fan of TWP and three of us went to see them at the Network in Edinburgh (where they filmed the club scene in Trainspotting 2, film fans).
And when I called your house I'm sure your sister thought that I was somebody else I heard a laugh down the phone And then the answer came that you weren't at home. You know I never go there Because I hate to dance and you really don't care Why don't you go on your own? How can you lie there and say that you'll come back alone? Oh well that's fine I don't care anymore Nobody's twisting your arm Here's the key There's the door Oh well that's fine I don't care anymore Nobody's twisting your arm Here's the key There's the door Before we go back in What about those secret smiles that you were giving to him? Oh just "somebody you met" Well I go out of my way and this is the thanks that I get! I'm just a slave to your greed I'm not the kind of boyfriend that you need But if you'd like me to go You'll get no trouble from me just so long as I know Oh well that's fine I don't care anymore Nobody's twisting your arm Here's the key There's the door Oh well that's fine I don't care anymore Nobody's twisting your arm Here's the key There's the door Oh well that's fine I don't care anymore Nobody's twisting your arm Here's the key There's the door Oh well that's fine I don't care anymore Nobody's twisting your arm Here's the key There's the door I don't love you anymore

Chuffinell this is still brilliant 40 years on, God Bless the Prezz
This record literally changed my life in March 1988 when I was 14.
The final number of the evening two days ago in Copenhagen, a magic evening full of superb songs.
still raw, still tragic, still better than most
I loved this then, still love it xxx So deep: Going through the stages of acceptance, and moving on...
The Buzzcocks married to The Smiths,this is The Wedding Present.
And when I called your house
I'm sure your sister thought that I was somebody else
I heard a laugh down the phone
And then the answer came that you weren't at home.
You know I never go there
Because I hate to dance and you really don't care
Why don't you go on your own?
How can you lie there and say that you'll come back alone?
Oh well that's fine
I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Oh well that's fine
I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Before we go back in
What about those secret smiles that you were giving to him?
Oh just "somebody you met"
Well I go out of my way and this is the thanks that I get!
I'm just a slave to your greed
I'm not the kind of boyfriend that you need
But if you'd like me to go
You'll get no trouble from me just so long as I know
Oh well that's fine
I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Oh well that's fine
I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Oh well that's fine
I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
Oh well that's fine
I don't care anymore
Nobody's twisting your arm
Here's the key
There's the door
I don't love you anymore
nobody's twisting your arm .. heres the key .. theres the door ...
