Turns out the song was written by Brian Alterman
Here's a demo of the song from 1979 with Pete Kircher on vocals. Turns out he gave the song to Rossi in '84 or '85, I'm guessing that it was to intended to be on the album they started to work on before Live Aid.

Possibly a demo that had a connection to the band Shanghai rather than the Original Mirrors?

I read as much on social media a few months back then promptly lost the post so couldn't verify it on here.
Interesting. Was this one not bizarrely credited to Rossi/Frost on the recent deluxe? Then it was assumed to be Parfitt/Williams. Maybe not so bizarre in light of this.

On the original release of the track back in 2008 for the Japanese fanclub, the song was credited to Parfitt / Williams, and then on the recent deluxe it was credited to Rossi / Frost... how they came to that conclusion I don't know, but it seemed to be a whole mess over the actual owner of the song, which now we have a definitive answer for. |

Thinking back, i think it was a mate of Brian's that chimed in on the thread about the song on FB, words to the effect of 'my mate wrote this'. Will he be paid for his work? |

Due to the song not having the correct writing credits, no. I dont think he'll be receiving any royalties. |
