They were the first Canadian band signed to Stiff Records, although the label was going through financial problems and never released an album by the band. The original band consisted of vocalist Nick Jones, guitarist Bill Napier-Hemy, bassist Tony Bardach and drummer Ian Tiles. Keyboard player Gord Nicholl joined soon after. Johnny Ferreira later joined on saxophone, Bardach was replaced by Scott Watson on bass, and Tiles was replaced by drummer Robert Bruce (from Active Dog), and later by Ken "Dimwit" Montgomery (who was also known for stints in the Subhumans and D.O.A.). The band released four singles, (including their only Stiff records release, a 3 song 7") before releasing their first full-length album, Perfect Youth in 1980. Members of the band were featured in Dennis Hopper's 1980 film, Out of the Blue.
Her Mom and Dad didn't understand her She didn't want to do what they planned for her to do She came to write, to be like the other kids Who do what they did until late at night See the girl always laughing When she's alone she cries You'll see her smile and you'll feel the pressure of running Running all the time She didn't like the boredom of the classroom All the things they taught her made no sense to her Why stay inside when so much called her Made her dream of being far away See the girl always laughing When she's alone she cries You'll see her smile and you'll feel the pressure of running Running all the time, all the time You and beauty can't just stop the sin From being a tragedy And when you look a little closer you'll see what I mean You'll see what I mean Her Mom and Dad didn't even know her Why do they expect to see her one more time She made a point and everyone has felt it Why did she have to, why did she do it at all See the girl always laughing When she's alone she cries You'll see her smile and you'll feel the pressure of You'll see her smile and you'll feel the pressure of Running all the time, running all the time
