Trying to find out the title of a song from late 70's early 80's?

video of song starts by showing you a train at a station with steam everywhere and all I can remember is some of the chorus, "don't want to be under your thumb forever" I can remember it being similar to a Human League stylee group but I am lost for any other info, Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

    Godley and Creme?

    I was standing in the station

    being pounded by the rain

    so I chose the last compartment

    of a stationary train

    I felt someone get in behind me

    but I never caught their eye

    but I thought I heard I heard a woman's voice

    whispering goodbye

    So I lay down in the darkness

    with the beer and coffee stains

    and I stared out at the thunder

    through the broken window panes

    And although the storm was booming

    like an engine in the sky

    I'm sure I heard a woman's voice cry

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb

    it's over and done

    I'll never be under your thumb forever

    So I rolled myself a cigarette

    and smoked it on my own

    but it didn't stop the whispers

    or the smell of her cologne

    Then she rose up out of nowhere

    and her hair was full of steam

    and she stuck her head out the window

    and screamed and screamed, she screamed!

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb

    it's over and done

    I'll never be under your thumb forever

    So I picked up an old newspaper to read

    and I noticed something very strange indeed

    So I looked a little closer

    and it chilled me to the bone

    "Woman throws herself from speeding train,

    identity unknown"

    But I recognized the picture of the woman who was dead

    and underneath the picture it said

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb

    it's over and done

    I'll never be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

    Don't wanna be under your thumb

    it's over and done

    I'll never be under your thumb forever
