Songs from the pages of Irvine Welsh books

'All of my Heart' by ABC, from Irvine Welsh Ecstasy : Three Tales of Chemical Romance

Welsh's pairing of pop music and unhinged characters continues...

In the novella 'Fortune's Always Hiding', Dave loves West Ham United, his girlfriend Samantha and the band ABC, especially their 1982 album 'The Lexicon of Love'

He blares this song on his car radio, on his way to help Samantha chainsaw off a bloke's limbs 🤷🏻‍♂️
