It shows Kirsty branching out, trying her hand at a little rap with a solid beat, but the lyrics are great. The song is a stinging indictment of all those who refuse to acknowledge the social ills that they encounter on the streets daily. Completely different is "My Affair," a hit in the UK. It's clever play on words is sheer poetry. "Children of the Revolution" has more of a folk rock feel to it, and again, the lyrics are hard hitting. "He Never Mentioned Love" ...

What a waste of pure, unique talent. ~~~~~~~~~~ Kirsty MacColl was the daughter of the legendary folk mega-legend Ewan MacColl although you didn’t often hear any folk roots in her music, which tended to be pure pop.

clear voice, as well as being able to deliver those cutting putdown lines. I was lucky enough to see Kirsty MacColl on tour last Summer, performing the entire album with a 9-piece band. She didn t tour often, as I believe she got bad stage fright.
