Plot
The song details the love of the (nameless) singer and a girl called Emmaline from the age of five all through a wedding at seventeen until her suicide at an unspecified later date. Emma it seems wanted to be a "movie queen" but could never find the breaks and eventually kills herself with the line "I just can't keep on living on dreams no more."Later Use
This rather dark song (by Hot Chocolate's standards) again saw the light of day around 1985 when The Sisters of Mercy started performing a live (and considerably "gothed up") version of it with Andrew Eldritch's voice making it darker still and the guitar and bass of Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams making for a slower and much more funereal style. Their version was released on the b-side of the 12" version of their 1988 single, "Dominion". Errol Brown MBE (born November 12 1948, Kingston, Jamaica) is the singer, songwriter, and frontman of the successful British band, Hot Chocolate. Amongst their biggest chart hits were "You Sexy Thing" and "Brother Louie".
