N othing urgent, just wanted to tell you what a great song this is. The synths steal the show, uncanny considering the year (1984). The single version is a little shorter than the elpee, some liposuction on the end if I’m not mistaken. “Girl on the Moon” isn’t mere fille-r, but a serviceable love song from Mick Jones that deserved better lyrics. Michael Fonfara is credited with “keyboard textures” on each, which is usually Eno’s realm. Too bad he wasn’t playing down the street with Junior Walker. There’s more on “Urgent” at Songfacts, if you just can’t wait.
