"Spark" by The Church

Aussie bands were taking the States by storm in the mid- to late 80s and we can count The Church among them. Their brand of moody rock broke through in 1988 with the single, "Under The Milky Way", which reached #24. The track came from their fifth album, "Starfish", which peaked at #41.

Surprisingly, the band would never be able to capitalize on this breakthrough success, at least in the US. Perhaps instead of "Reptile" they would have sustained their run on the charts with "Spark", which I view as a superior track.
