I have noticed that bits and bobs of this album seem to be referencing ABBA. The opening riff on this is clearly from Knowing Me, Knowing You.

Oh, Pete.
He was a very lovely man.
It's very sad to think he's gone.

Just a really good pop song, but with very sweet, tender, pensive lyrics.

This is very Human League.
But not as well produced.

Not a cover of the Curtis Mayfield classic I think.

The weakest track on the album.

I suppose it knowingly references the Blaxploitation thing though.

This doesn't sound like it belongs on the same album as the other stuff.

This has a sort of Chas & Dave quality about it.
