Wishful Thinking

Daly and Lundon wrote it; the song article says Lundon sings lead and wrote the lyrics. Mike Howlett produced it in 1983. The single came out in January 1984 on Virgin (January 9 per the song article, January 3 per the album article), with "This Occupation" and "Some People I Know to Lead Fantastic Lives" on the B-sides. It runs 4:08 as the 7-inch edit and 4:40 on the 12-inch and album. It reached 9 in the UK, their only top ten there, 6 in Ireland, 16 in Germany and 14 in the Netherlands, and was number 1 on the Swedish radio chart Poporama on March 8, 1984. Wikipedia says it was inspired by "Here He Comes" from Eno's Before and After Science, which is not corroborated elsewhere.
