Just accept it.
I have a distinct memory of lying in my bed at night sometime around 1984; hearing this for the first time on the radio, and thinking that. Then the DJ back announced who it was, and...well, I didn't exactly sit bolt-upright and cry, "WHAT?" ...but that was kind of how I felt.
I think that's when I began to get an inkling that if you strip away all the publicity, what you're left with is one of the best pop writers...
It's one of my favourite songs, and to think he was only 16 when he wrote it.
