"View from a Bridge" came out in 1982 as the second single, internationally, from Kim Wilde's second album, Select, the follow-up to "Cambodia" on RAK. Marty Wilde and Ricky Wilde wrote it, with Ricky supplying the words and producing, and Kim sings it.
Beneath the pop gloss sits a bleak little tale: a girl finds her lover with another girl and throws herself off a bridge. It went to number one on the Europarade chart and into the top ten in several European countries and in Australia, and in 2006 she brought it back as a faster version with a dance beat on Never Say Never.
