Further into 40

Just listening to the first "This Mortal Coil" record(check here) , called "It'll End in Tears" and struck once again by that sliver of a generation who defines their formative years by that album(circa 1984, yours truly not yet 20) and their and my ability to dance positively to a negative. A song called "Not Me" intones relentlessly, "you didn't touch me, you didn't touch me...' anthemically, driving away the ghosts of unhappy affairs or relationships and settling into being alone once again. Can't say it's specific for my sliver of a generation, but it is invariably associated with love affairs from those days. "You didn't touch me." morphing into, "you can't touch me" or "I can't touch you".
