From the Album Tears (1980)

Band Spats demonstrated they could write a catchy song with 'New Wave Goodbye'. But it needed a name change to The Crocodiles, the addition of singer Jenny Morris, and a track called 'Tears' for the public to really sit up and take notice. In the video, drummer Bruno Lawrence hangs around next to a shady lamp post while Morris passes by. The band's bubblegum-coloured costumes positively shine against an all white set. Written by Fane Flaws and Arthur Baysting, 'Tears' got to number 17 on the New Zealand singles charts.
