I've never seen you look like this without a reason

I heard Big Country's "In A Big Country" during today's morning commute. Normally I'm opposed to bands who have song titles that include their band name, but I make an exception here and there. This is such a great song but I never really paid attention to the lyrics before.

So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded.
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming.
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted.
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered.

Here they are lip-synching the song on Top of the Pops circa 1983:

Big country

There's a tremendous amount of bouncing and mind-blowing fashion in this video, so watch at your own risk.
