"I can see you in the morning when you go to school

Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule

Your teacher tells you stop your playing, get on with your work

And be like Johnnie-Too-good, don't you know he never shirks

He's coming along

After school is over, you're playing in the park

Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark

They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about

And grow up just like them, won't you let it work it out

And you're full of doubt"

 

That should answer the question 😆 

I bought CRIME and just loved it. And still do. When I caught them live at Cardiff. They performed DREAMER, and all the kids rushed to the front clapping and chanted the lyrics, excitedly. Then followed this with LADY, (sounded the same to me). But worked well with the kids. Soon they performed some moody songs, but the kids were still there, just lapping it up. Suddenly, the guy who played the sax and other things, suddenly exclaimed loudly; "Stop banging on the stage, we can't play with you behaving like this."  Well, I believed the band had orchestrated the game plan, actively seeking out young boys, as part of the game plan, for future sales. And by the way, I bought BREAKFAST, Listened to it a few times, then gave it away.

Probably "Even in the Quietest Moments", but I more so listen to the collection on the "Retrospectacle" album.  That title is also one of my favorite Supertram tunes, along with "Downstream".

In order: Crime of the Century, Breakfast In America, & Even In The Quietest Moments.....and that order does change.

Famous Last Words, Crisis What Crisis, Brother Where You Bound.....all have great moments; but don't make my hair stand up like the other three
