Acne, all my employers want to sack me...

"Acne, all my employers want to sack me,
They've got no jobs for teenage yobs with spots and splodges..."

I first heard this quirky song back in 1986-87. It sounded British, sung by a male with a slightly manic voice. It sounded British New Wave to me - guitar/synth.

Would love to know what it is

It's 'Acne' by John Dowie

Thanks so much for tracking this down for me. I haven't heard it (and didn't know where to look), since the mid 80s.

Interested to see it was on the Factory Sampler e.p. - one of my favourite record labels.

Thanks again

I never even bother trying to figure these out, I just wait for Tray to show up and within minutes usually she's nailed it.

Tray helped me find a song waaay back. She's the master of Name That Tune. We should just dedicate this part of the forum to her.

You guys got me feeling
