The Trash Can Sinatras - Obscurity Knocks [1990] (yewtu.be)

This is one of my favourite songs, yet I don't own any of their music, apart from the 7" single of Obscurity Knocks. I have def listened to the rest of the album Cake that this song is from and their other releases, via streaming, since then. The funnest fact I know about them is that The Trash Can Sinatras' Frank Reader, is the brother of Eddi Reader from Fairground Attraction. She married one of her brother's bandmates n 2013.
