Children Say

"Children Say" is a song written by Mark King, Mike Lindup and Phil Gould. It was released as a single in 1987 by British band Level 42, from the studio album Running in the Family. After a series of successes with the hits "Lessons in Love", "Running in the Family", "To Be With You Again" and "It's Over", the band decided to issue "Children Say" as their last single of 1987. The song was more successful than expected in the Netherlands, and it also made the top 30 in the United Kingdom.
