The song ‘Blue Moon’ is one of the only other songs I sing on the record and it’s basically a really simple new wave, new romantic song that I was tempted to not put it on the record.

I was talking to Daniel Miller, who started Mute Records and he got very passionate. He saying, 'you have to put this song on the record'. I really liked it but I was thinking 'it seems a little straight forward because most of the rest of the record is little more atmospheric and experimental'. So Daniel Miller was the one, who basically put a gun to my head and said, if you are gonna make this record, you have to put this song on it.

I love late 70s, early 80s, new wave, synch pop. You know, the new romanic era. The one thing that’s hard in talking about the new romantic era is a lot of my favourite bands from then or favourite artists went on to make not very good records. But in 1980, ‘81, ‘82, Heaven 17 and Ultravox, and Visage, and early Simple Minds, that’s the inspiration, and New Order. The song ‘Blue Moon’ is solely inspired by that period. It’s what I grew up with and I still love it.

Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone

Stop the hands before they seem
To take us up to where we've been
You see the leaves are falling down
On the stones we walked upon

Watch the city fall away
Then it's born to rise again
My blue moon will fall soon
Over loss and lover then

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone [bad word] take these things away
Help me up, the skies are grey
Blue moons are falling now
Through all the years we wondered how

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
Be alone
Be alone
Be alone
Be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home
I promise you'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
Never be alone
Never be alone
You'll never be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone

Oh my blue moon
I see it soon
Oh my blue home and I promise you
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
Never be alone
Be alone
You'll never be alone
