But also he challenges us to be real - most people will understand ‘all the fears, anxieties are bottled up inside’ but few people will admit to it and even fewer want it served up in a pop song, however catchy.
Only 238 views?! I can see why Julian Cope was less than happy with the end result of this video - it's basically just David Bailey tinkering around at making a music video like someone on a BTEC Film Studies course. It's fascinating to be able to watch it, though. A real piece of Cope history. Thanks for uploading.
I usually skip this song when listening to the album, as it sounds a bit out of place with the other songs. Strangely though, the video adds something subliminally pleasing to the song...perhaps it's the colours, sunlight, or Julian's photogenic face, not to mention the utterly beautiful woman in it!

...the reason Julian cope is not more popular than he is is because its difficult to believe just how good his music is...

I seem to remember this video being very controversial when it came out, though I can't remember (or see) why. Saint Julian's start as a solo artist!
This vid was much edited and apparently the original vid was too bloody? This version was still banned because of the runaway pram scene I believe.

Battleship Potemkin. 😂

Isn't that Dorian, Mrs. Cope?

This is a great Track. One of my favourites on the album
@@bonacontention1619it was in fact David Bailey’s then-girlfriend. I think Catherine Dyer, who he’s still married to.
Good song, bad video. Cope himself has said that he dislikes this video.
With the right make up he could have looked just like Syd Barrett.
