A tip of the hat then to the brains behind Pop: Aural whose second package in their Accessory series really is something different. Unlikely as it may sound, "At Home!" features pub entertainer Mr, Frank Hannaway improvising a series of untitled melodic selections based around standards like "Tulips From Amsterdam" on his ancient Farfisa organ and rhythm unit while Boots For Dancing's Michael Barclay adds guitar overdubs — a different music if not actually in another kitchen then probably just down the hall. You probably think this sounds tike a new low in weirdness rather than a new By Red Starr dimension in music, but really the contrast between the synthetic organ plus artificial rhythms on one hand and the emotive contributions of the on the singles other works brilliantly.

With a little help from Crass themselves, they've laid down two lengthy tracks — the brisk, military rat-a-tat of "Dirty Work" and the orchestrated ballad of "Promenade Immortelle" — and packaged them in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics included. While one can sympathise to a degree with their ideas and keenness, attitudes don't necessarily make good records and this has more in common with hippy self-indulgence than any vital new punk force.

T Do you want to know, do I love you? The answer's no, is that straight enough for you?

She asked for it I told her flat

That I don't want no more of that f^^ I've really had you up to here And I don't even like you near

If you come round I won't be in

I can't stand to see your face If we meet up then count me out Why don't you just fade away

Fade away, fade away, fade away Fade away, fade away, fade away

When love's not love When love's not love When love's not love fade away

32 Making Your Mind Up By Bucks Fizz on RCA Records

You got to speed it up

And then you gotta slow it down 'Cos if you believe that a love can hit the top You gotta play around But soon you will find that there comes a time For making your mind up

You got to turn it on And then you got to put it out You got to be sure that it's something Everybody's gonna talk about Before you decideahat the time's arrived For making your mind up

Don't let your indecision Take you from behind Trust your inner vision Don't let others change your mind

And now you really got to burn it up And make another fly by night Get a run for your money and take a chance And it'll turn out right And when you can see how it's got to be You're making your mind up

And try to look as if you don't care less But if you want to see some more Bending the rules of the game will let you find The one you're looking for And then you can show that you think you know You're making your mind up

Don't let your indecision Take you from behind Trust your inner vision " Don't let others change your mind

And now you really got to speed it up (speed it up)

And then you gotta slow it down (slow it down) 'Gos if you believe that a love can hit the top You gotta play around But soon you will find that there comes a time For making your mind up

Repeat last verse

For making your mind up For making your mind up For making your mind up
