Burning The Ground Exclusive 1987
TOTALLY OBSCURE 80s!
“It Doesn’t Have to Be this Way” is a single released by British band The Blow Monkeys in early 1987. It is one of the band’s best known singles, and hit the top 5 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was featured in the 1987 comedy film Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol.
