"Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)" is a song written and recorded by Steve Harley. It was originally recorded by his band Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel on the album The Best Years of Our Lives and released as a single in 1975. In a television interview recorded in 2002, Harley described how the lyrics are vindictively directed at the former band members, whom he felt had abandoned him. More than a hundred and twenty cover versions of the song have been recorded by other artists, most notably Duran Duran and Erasure.
