Yes, that one is indeed an original, although, they did chart with 2 covers namely Tears of a clown, and Can't get used to losing you (originally an Andy Williams hit)
Also, a bit like Madness, but a little more sophisticated IMO!!! Although Madness are brilliant also (going to see them yet again in July when they do their Madstock gig at Victoria Park in London)
