I do hope no one saw Curly own up to being a Howard Jones fan down below

"Things Can Only Get Better" was released as the first single from Howard Jones' 1985 album Dream Into Action, reaching #6 in the UK Singles Chart and #5 in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Curiously, the song also crossed over to the R&B charts in America, peaking at #54 (a rarity for a white artist at the time).[1]

A typically upbeat Jones composition, it was one of two songs from the album to feature all-female singing group Afrodiziak on backing vocals. John Leland from Spin magazine wrote that "It mines the best of the Anglo soul movement: a clean slap-bass line, precise horns and synths, and some well-paced and inviting singing".[2]

if Wouldn't It Be Good was by Howard Jones and not Nik Kershaw? Although Nik is Curly's guitar hero.

Curly is far from Irish. He is a proud subject of her majesty and lives in the county of England called Northern Irish.
