Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather ...,  Monday, 14 July 2008 Excellent review. Even better choice of album.

There are but a few similarly smart and fun albums. Back here it was much bigger hit than in UK ... Several singles topped the local charts any any brokenhearted sod knew the "When Love Breaks Down" lyrics.
I've read somewhere that Paddy tried to become UK version of Steely Dan. I beg to differ. I think he hit the pop side of the nail much more accurately than dildo guys. They, on the other hand, did the jazzy part more elegantly.

The same Steely Dan theorist also wrote that albums like this never made us be ashamed for listening to pop records. That one he nailed perfectly ...

"When love breaks down
The lies we tell,
They only serve to fool ourselves,
When love breaks down
The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you"

Thoroughly enjoyable ... Only complaint goes to the lack of lyrics on the inner sleeve (mine is Italian copy). 23 years on, it still sits in the front row by the spinner. Way to go, Paddy.
