Pink Industry - "What I wouldn't Give" (1985)

[Tingle]

This your era Uncle Skinny?

Does anyone have a scan of the sleeve of this single, which, apparently, features Morrissey. I've never seen it.

"What I Wouldn't Give"

Oh!What I wouldn't give to feel your presence here!...
There's my Smiths tapes you never wanted to hear,
Throw them away,Morrisey in a bin,
If It would bring you back again.

There's my perfumed garden that scares you to death
Live it burried at the end of the bed
I'd compromise if it meant having some of your time.

You mean love does not last forever
But we doubt it all the time
When you're in love you've got to believe it's for the rest of your life.
I've got a pain inside,
It cuts like a knife,cuts like a knife

Oh!What I wouldn't give to feel your presence here!...

Oh! I wouldn't bring your dinner at eight
For a domestic life this the wrong place.
But I would touch so sweet,if you dare.
Feel the power of the earth and the air.

Oh! What I wouldn't give to feel your presence here!...

Sk, sorry I don't know whether an MP3 is available - I don't dabble in that sort of thing myself. The reason I bring up the subject is that your ipod list mentioned The Passions, who, for whatever reason (er, that'll be films then), got me thinking about the band "Kissing the Pink" who recorded "Last Film". I used to always, not unreasonably, confuse "Kissing the Pink" with "Pink Industry". I remember at the time Pink Industry said something about them pleading with Morrissey to allow them to use his picture on the sleeve - and they said if he didn't allow them they'd use his picture anyway! I've always been curious to know what the sleeve looked like. I see Intoxica have the single for sale: http://www.intoxica.co.uk/80-90pop.htm but the sleeve has a stain on it. Let us not ask what the stain is of....

Yeah,I remember Kissing The Pink - I recall them looking odd and a bit geeky on Top Of The Pops. I thought The Last Film was an unusual but alluring single. On the subject of The Passions, my mate Pete used to know Barbara, the singer. She apparently puked up with nerves before gigs. Fab.
