Love and Rockets - Yin and Yang and the Flowerpot Man

Yeah, I know. Love and Rockets? I see you sniggering in the back there. But in all fairness, this really is a deadly track, with a great driving rhythm and one of those choruses that works precisely because of its incredible simplicity. Unfortunately just after the halfway point there's a completely daft lyric that threatens to ruin the whole experience ("Alcohol is your yoga, baby") but you can't really expect a band made of Bauhaus alumni not to have at least one cringeworthy moment per song.

It's from their second album, Express, from 1986, which I actually rather like.
