Seeing as I just posted a song adjacent to to The Church, it would be remiss of me to not add this classic to the annals of this Lemmy Community.

We listened to this band, Lloyd Cole, Robyn Hitchcock, and Toad the Wet Sprocket so much back in the day. Great to hear it again, thanks.

You're welcome! Thanks for the response.

I also just found out that Under The Milky Way was co-written by Steve Kilbey and his partner at the time, whose band I linked to in the post. Not a bad earner, I would imagine!

Omg have not thought about Lloyd Cole since forever... But I remember having that album with perfect skin on it.....

And loved The Church.... Saw them live a few times back in the day.... Good times!

Yah, I know that feeling. But Lloyd had made a bunch of great albums over the years. Well worth checking out, imo
