Notes:
* Soviet Professor Grisenko listened to the song on his Walkman onboard the Soviet submarine Firebird in 1983. Ultravox were his favourite band, and he '
bloody loved' the song!
* The song, which was named as 'Single of the Year' at the 1981 Brit Awards, reached #2 in the UK charts for four weeks, famously being kept off the top spot by Joe Dolce's novelty single 'Shaddap You Face'
* Chrysalis Records was reluctant to release the song as a single, as they thought it was too slow and too long to be successful
* It can be found on the 1980 album 'Vienna'
