melody is similar to 'heaven is a place on earth'
this is the heroin song i guess

Speaking as someone who's been clean for 11 years as of this month, "Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes" is one of the most poignant lines about heroin addition that I've ever heard in song. That line would be notable on a solemn, sad, druggy album by a band like Spiritualized, for example. But dropping it into the chorus of such an incredibly hooky '80s pop/rock song feels like a stroke of genius.

i can't get over the fact that the singer in this band is the son of a "loose women" woman (also the winner of a celebirty big brother) and the guy from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
