Biografía:
El grupo fue fundado en Hull en 1984 por Heaton que volvía de un largo viaje por Europa. El primero en atender su propuesta fue Cullimore. A continuación se unen a ellos Whitaker y Ted Key que estaban en un grupo llamado Gargoyles. Emipieza un período de giras que hace que las discográficas se fijen en el cuarteto. Acaban firmando contrato con Gol Records y son promocionados con el eslogan "Cuarto mejor grupo de Hull".
El primer single, "Flag day", sale en octubre de 1985, pero no entra en listas.

Chords: D* xx023x A7 x02020 Am7 x02010 F x03211
Flag Day
Intro. D* A7 Am7 x2
D* A7
Too many Florence Nightingales
D* Am7
Not enough Robin Hoods
D* A7
Too many halos not enough heroes
D* Am7
Coming up with the goods
So you thought you'd like to change the world
Decided to stage a jumble sale
D* D*(let ring)
For the poor for the poor
--------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS:
F Am
Its a waste of time if you know what they mean
D* D*
Try shaking a box in front of the Queen
F Am
'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
D* D*
Its a waste of time if you know what they mean
F Am D*
Flag d—a—y, Flag day
F Am D*
Flag d—a—y, Flag day
_____________________________________________
D* A7
Too many hands in too many pockets
D* Am7
Not enough hands on hearts
D* A7
Too many ready to call it a day
D* Am D*
Before the day starts
So you thought you'd like to see them healed
Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal
For the poor for the poor
