That era of PIL 87-on isn't too appreciated but since I got into punk from seeing the movie "Sid and Nancy" on video in 87, I was just happy Johnny Rotten was doing something then. That song kind of stuck with me ever since I heard it back then.

Most say the PIL line-up with guitarist Keith Levine and bassist Jah Wobble (the late 70's - early 80's line-up) is the best or truly post-punk and not kind of poppy like the 87-on era.
