Yeah, it's a stadium-rocker, straight-up U2-rip, and maybe not their BEST song, but I can't help but air guitar and belt it out whenever it comes on. Both the hooks, and the guitar tone, are freaking aces.

It's never gotten famous, or really much airplay, it's not on any Best of The Alarm compilations I've seen over the years, and I have no idea why that is, because it's freaking killer. Takes me straight back to 1985!
