Trueby Spandau Ballet

The lyrics for this 1983song were inspired by a crush Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp had on Altered Images singer Clare Grogan. "I was infatuated with Clare Grogan," he told The Guardian. "I met her on Top of the Pops and, at one point, traveled up to Scotland to have tea with her and her mum and dad. Although my feelings were unrequited and the relationship was platonic, it was enough to trigger a song." --
