Hey Terry. 
Here are some suggestions to bring out what you already have:
1. Add +4db @ 40-50hz to bring the very bottom out more. It seems too layed back.
2. Pitch correct your vocal. Easy to do. 
3. Brighten up that snare. It is muffled sounding and could be a lot more present. There are drum replacement goodies that you should try on this. I hear it as wanting to be snappy and bright.
4. I liked the intro but when the regular song kicks in, it sound too mono mixed. Everything is clustered around the center. I would try to open that up a bit more.
5. I wish a distortion guitar could take the place of the synth in the chorus.

Thanks Rimshot, Thought the vocal was good. I'm just not hearing what you're hearing, I must be to close to it, or something. Would you like to give those improvements a go? Sure could use the help!
 
Cheers,
Terry

Hi Terry
I really like this - mix sounds pretty good to me but I am listening on crappy speakers. I'll have a listen on better speakers later.
