Thanks to Gordon for leaving a comment reminding me about the Icemakers of the Revolution Choice cassingle, and then Jason DuFair who dug up his copy and digitized it over the weekend, my little online archive of the Icemakers' recordings is now complete.

My God.
I had a copy of this cassette... I have no idea where I got it, or where it's gone to... But I have been looking for this song for two decades. Maybe three ..
I really don't know anything about the group, but the harmonies on this song are so clean, so simple, so direct...
I have heard other versions of the song, but they all pale in comparison.
This is how the song was meant to be sung. A Capella. Simple. Unadorned. That the last line is sung by one voice alone - like the girl on the bus - is perfection.
To the Icemakers of the Revolution, wherever you are these days, thank you for this gift.
