The Lover Speaks - I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten (A&M)

I suppose if you're going to murder someone else's song you should at least be brazen about it. That's something this cosmetic counter duo most definitely are. A singer straining on the wrong side of Phil Oakey, an OTT orchestration in the manner of The Damned's "Eloise" (and it didn't do them any harm, did it?), and a Sarah Brightman School Of Acting In Pop Videos award in the passion department. A hit - no doubt about it. (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, February 21, 1987)
