Gone was the bland choirgirl voice of \"As Tears Go By\", replaced by an instrument that, although ravaged by drink, drugs, and hard living, had gained in expressiveness. The music, which sounded like a synthesizer phalanx hijacked by depressed punks, was perfectly suited to these songs of disillusionment (\"Ballad of Lucy Jordan\") and loss (the title track). Most powerful was a \"Working Class Hero\" that matched John Lennon's original sneer for sneer, and an X-rated response to infidelity (\"Why D'Ya Do It\") that could've been torn from Bill Clinton-inspired headlines. --Ben Edmonds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 042284235525\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0042284235525\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e IMCD 11 \/ 842 355-2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46917626593539,"sku":"Q0-QCGN-VS8C","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/61-EHQkj5AL.jpg?v=1749521667","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/broken-english-2","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
