I would characterize it as ‘typical’ ’80’s, but it is one of the better examples from its genre.

I didn’t take the song as sad or hopeless either. However, I was a teen during the ’80s and perhaps that shapes my perspective on the music from that era.

I also prefer the GoGo’s version as well. It had a bit more energy or spunk.

“Pay no mind to what they say, it doesn’t matter anyway”
Not a bad way of dealing with people’s jealous games.
Doesn’t strike me as sad, hopeless or depressing.
Just that lean clean early 80’s Brit style.
I do much prefer the Go Go’s version though.
