Biografía:
El grupo fue fundado en Hull en 1984 por Heaton que volvía de un largo viaje por Europa. El primero en atender su propuesta fue Cullimore. A continuación se unen a ellos Whitaker y Ted Key que estaban en un grupo llamado Gargoyles. Emipieza un período de giras que hace que las discográficas se fijen en el cuarteto. Acaban firmando contrato con Gol Records y son promocionados con el eslogan "Cuarto mejor grupo de Hull".
El primer single, "Flag day", sale en octubre de 1985, pero no entra en listas.

[Intro]
A D G D
[Verse]
A D G D
I used to think you understood
A D G D A D G D
Taught me right and learnt me good
A D G D
A D G D
Made things simple for my brain
A D G D A D G D
Told the truth and made it plain
A D G D
[Bridge]
C#m
But the implications I mistook
D
Until I found out whose side you took
C#m
And now with paper in my hand
D E
I'm beginning to understand
[Chorus]
A D G D A D G
So this is freedom They must be joking
D A D G D A D G
They must be joking If they think its true
D A D G D A D G
So this is freedom I doubt their truth
D A D G D A D G D
So this is freedom For me and you
[Verse]
A D G D
From the front page news to the interviews
A D G D A D G D
It's sink the reds and live the blues
A D G D
A D G D
They pretend they're different points of view
A D G D A D G D
But it's only different shades of blue
[Bridge]
C#m
But the implications I mistook

So this is freedom They must be joking

They must be joking If they think its true
