To be fair it's quite a common chord sequence. But it is also quite rhythmically close. Maybe an innocent mistake, maybe not. The Clash used the same same sequence for Groovy Times, U2 later used it on With Or Without You.

Just found this from an interview with Knox. Talking about pre Vibrators.
But that was when I originally wrote things like ‘Whips & Furs’, ‘Sweet Sweet Heart’, and a few other things. It’s funny because I wrote ‘Whips & Furs’ back then, and a couple of years later, I heard ‘Another Girl Another Planet’ which pretty much uses the same chords... at first I thought they’d pinched my song ! Anyway, we called the band ‘Lipstick’, but it eventually ran out of steam.

My humanity

Yeah the Libs said as much themselves regarding The Only Ones. They covered that track many times.

Very taken by this off the new Sufjan Stevens album. Mesmerizing video and a quiet statement against, I assume, the treadmill of online existence.
