My dad died recently and I’ve been listening to all his old vinyls. Soft cell features a lot. Dad was a looker back in the day and had a bedsit in Islington. I can only imagine what he got up to there because mom looked at him daggers whenever he reminisced. This song was always on on long drives as a kid. Love you, dad. ❤

A got detention at school in middle of winter in Aberdeen. I was meant to go home at 3.30pm but was there until 5pm and by this time it was dark and a blizzard outside. The teacher Mr Robb had radio on and this song was playing and it totally lifted my spirits for getting home. I was only 10 and bus was over an hour late so I got home at about 7pm. I will always remember this song from that night. Thanks Marc for some great music over the years.

How I miss the '80's: the music, fashions and the girls. I was 17 in 1981 and had plenty of friends, and we had great times doing nothing but drinking pints, zooming around on motorbikes and eyeing up the pretty girls who lived in the area. Rock music was usually our soundtrack but I heard this song as well as Tainted Love and liked Marc's voice. Other faves were the Human League, Ultravox and Roxy Music. 39 years ago.....jeez.

Soft Cell captured a real moment in time with this song and video. London back then was an incredibly dark, seedy and dangerous place and I'm sure there were some knowing nods to it in the video. It depicts Marc Almond walking round Piccadilly Circus which was notorious back then as the 'meat rack' - the nickname it got because groups of young male prostitutes used to congregate in the area. The branch of Wimpy that the video shows was where many would gather when the weather got colder. Very sadly, a number of those boys were underage runaways and had incredibly tragic lives. A number of paedophile gangs also operated in the area, including the 'Playlands' gang who would pick up kids in the nearby amusement arcades, and the notorious Sidney Cooke gang.

I love this record. It was a song about the old kind of unrewarding hedonism, which yet managed to make you feel angrily energised. Unlike the contemporary form of depressive hedonism which makes you as whingingly miserable as the singer.

I genuinely like this song (though I wouldn't class myself as a huge Soft Cell fan), however I particularly love this video as it bought back some of my teenage memories, and especially at the time of this song hitting the UK charts, my brother had just left home to go and live in a bedsit. His room was so similar to the one on this video.

Bedsits were still a relatively new concept then. There'd been flat shares right back to the 50s and 60s but then you suddenly had thousands upon thousands of these tiny little rooms with perhaps a sink, a cooker, a shower and loo. And you had multitudes of young people living alone in the metropolis...The music and lyrics sum up it so perfectly, "Kid myself I'm having fun....the battle scars of all the good times..." It always brought shivers to my spine when I was a kid.

Marcs a damn fine singer. Love his work and glad he's still performing.

It's just criminal that all you hear from Soft Cell is 'Tainted Love'. What a shame, because they had many good tunes!

I remember when I was like 2 years old, I was watching this non-stop on VHS, because my parents liked it. I was constantly trying to solve the puzzle in my head, wether the singer is a boy or a girl. I just couldn't wrap my head around this human as a 2 year old, such a weird creature for my little brain. One of my first memories ever.

Takes me straight back to those days. The most evocative track for me from that era. I was 13 years old then and a blend of hope and melancholy, with a sweet innocence never to be repeated. I saw Marc at The Palladium in October 2022. After 3 hours sitting in my seat, my arthritic knees made made it unbearbly painful, so at 10am, me and my wife had to reluctantly leave. As we did, Marc called us out and humilated us as we left. Never meet your heroes, eh ?

Very shortly after that, he was the first person I ever heard mention U2. Oh yeah. He liked Adam and the Ants as well! And Black Sabbath. He was the first person to play me any Sabbath. Children of the Sea. His mum was divorced and had no money. His room was like a bedsit, being the end room in a crappy council flat in a crappy block of crappy council flats. There was a The Cure poster on the wall. He never used to put his records back in their sleeves and would get cigarette ash on them.🤣 (Yes Simon Lee!

There was a terrible melancholy and tragedy to it. It was the same with a lot of the New Romantics / synth. The lyrics are actually unbelievably dark. Staring out of the window, writing to his mother who thinks he's getting better....And the biting ache of loneliness.

It came alive by the 2nd lockdown here in Bavaria. Marc was one the biggest New Wave and Neue Deutsche Welle Artists . He is still No One with Soft Cell Songs. What a great Decade 4 Music! What a great Time!

"start the nightlife over again and kid myself I'm having fun" is such a mood

I love Soft Cell 💖

one of my favourite early 80s songs and it really sums up the way a load of people i knew lived in london. The imagery in this vid makes me pine for the old soho over its new cleaned up boring version. It was so full of life and fun...and sleeze of course. Just love this song

Imo Dave and Marc were class leaders and most of their music still sounds fresh! They both touched subjects containing real life opinions. Dave was an extraordinary arranger with just a simple keyboard, if compared to what was around at that time. Marc was a different type of vocalist. Dramatic art up front! This type of keyboard genre in Britain, at that time; was just a small piece of 1980s British diversity in pop music. Always way ahead of the USA; stuck in the "rock past" at that time. No wonder there was another British invasion!

Head to Andover , wimpy still there

Sunday morning going slow I'm talking to the radio Clothes and records on the floor Memories of the night before Out in club-land having fun And now I´m hiding from the sun Waiting for a visitor Though no-one knows I'm here for sure Dancing laughing Drinking loving And now I'm all alone In bedsit land My only home I think it's time to cook a meal To fill the emptiness I feel Spent my money going out I've nothing I'm left without Clean my teeth and comb my hair Look for something new to wear Start the nightlife over again Kid myself I'm having fun Dancing laughing Drinking loving And now I'm all alone In bedsit land My only home Look out from my window view I've really nothing else to do Read a book and write a letter Mother, things are getting better Watch the mirror count the lines The battle scars of all the good times Look around and I can see A thousand people just like me Dancing laughing Drinking loving And now I'm all alone In bedsit land My only home Dancing laughing Drinking loving And now I'm all alone In bedsit land My only home I'm waiting for something I'm only passing time

Reminds me of living in a bedsit in Withington Manchester in the early eighties for £16/week. Dingy hall, dust on the staircase, freezing in winter. Who cares, out most nights, the most exciting time of my life.

Equivalent levels of genius at play here with both Dave and Marc. What were the chances they’d meet and create these classics!

This song tells the truth when l use to live in beds it land great song x

Thank god I was an 80s teenager. Best music..great memories

So all mighty... pure music, pure art. what else...?

Surely one of his best 👌 tunes ❤

Great Tune from this English Synthpop Duo!, Apparently it Explored the underbelly of the London Club scene of the time (Early 80'S), but I always feel there is more to this tune than that because it takes Me somewhere Nostalgically Melancholic!.
