An underestimated hit on their best album: Songs From The Big Chair; and it has a relatively positive vibe in comparison to other tracks on the original 8-track album. US radio edit is a highlight and definitely worth a listen, distinctly contrasting .

My features form with a change in the weather
We can / Better late than never, we can work it out 
When the wind blows 
When the mothers talk 
When the wind blows 
(We can, only) We can work it out 
It’s not that you’re not good enough 
Just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price 
We can keep you young and tender


Second best track from the album behind non-single Broken (album|live|… Revisited|Demo|We Are …)
