Class Act!

This is a good singer

Belleza de canción.

great great great great great

She don't know the lyrics making them up

Absolutely no comparison to the Susan Acteson version. She should quietly retire.

La juventud debe conocer esta música para eso están la tv comunicadores radio bella bello belleza de música hay que tener paladar y esencia en la música amigos amigas pueblo de Bolivia gracias 💖🌹🌹🌻

Why change lyrics like Mad instead of Bad and Flowers in a cage instead of Tigers . Bit silly but great record

Gene Pitney absolutely did _not_ “cover” this song-his was the _original_ version. And though Reader’s singing is good, what _idiot_ decided to change the lyrics? Instead of _Ours is_ not _an easy age_ _We’re like_ tigers _in a cage_ her version runs _Ours is_ such _an easy age_ _We’re like_ flowers _in a cage_ which contradicts the theme of the song.

Not very often a cover is better than original but this shades it ! It was G P`s best and a terrific number but this is quite superb !

=♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

i have to disagree with my wife and say i prefer this version to Gene Pitney's.

That looks a bit like Nick Frost arguing on the phone.

Wrong lyrics 👎

She is not even singing the right words, what is the point of this?

Amazing!!!!

Great cover.. & btw, Fairground Attraction..one of the most underrated bands ever...

Seems to be cut in the beginning and the end. Here is a better version: ua-cam.com/video/g4-rpwQCyX0/v-deo.html

Why did she change some of the lyrics ? Flowers in a cage ??

Τραγουδάρα!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎶🎵🎼💜🎶🎵🎼💜

Both versions are great

love this song eddi.your a babe xx

brilliant version. ..better than the original

Crap!!!

When you're young and so in love and free And bewildered by the world you see Why do people hurt you so Only those in love would know What a town without pity can do When we stop to gaze upon a star People talk about how mad we are Ours is such an evil age Were like flowers in a cage What a town without pity can do Yeah, we have problems, many problems We need an understanding heart Why don't they help us, try to help us Before this grey and granite planet falls apart Take these eager lips and hold me fast I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last How can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do How we can we keep love alive How can anything survive When these little minds tear you in two What a town without pity can do No it isn't very pretty What a town without pity... Pause can do

Is there anything Eddi can't sing? She is truly a treasure.

I definitely prefer the original version by Gene Pitney

Lordy girl, you look amazing in that dress! Loving the crooning too :)

κορυφαιο!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pobre perro

I first heard this in 2008, and fell in love with Eddi Reader's voice back then and here I am reminiscing on this tune...Don't care about changed words or all that stuff I just love your voice, your nuances and where you place your gorgeous vibrato...Sweeter voices are rare imo.

What a voice!

@TheMightyGusset Yeah 3 years too late by the sounds of it would love to hear the Pete Shelly vocals of Shot by both sides if you can post it - Cheers !

@Blitzkriegpunk77 What can I do for you mate ? I assume you're replying to my earlier comment ?

@TheMightyGusset please post asap !

@chinakitty1 noone will take john's place really

@steve77011 Being a star in america? why would anyone want to be a star in the land of hte tasteless

PERFECT ! I love Eddi !!!!

Not bad cover. Perfect voice for the song - very sexy, like a young Gwen Stefani. Thanks for not butchering this song like many pop stars do with classics. It's much appreciated :-)

@jrdouglas I love all your stuff, espoecially the Robert Burns covers. We all have scottish blood here in Northern Ireland. Keep it coming!!! Norman

@tamething1 all due respect I have to totally disagree with you. the vampy sex is already inherent in Gene's original. What could be more visually appropriate during the instrumental break at 1:52? the video story told here underscores the theme in the lyrics of a world of sleaze and power and gossip that sometimes ruins innocent people's lives. anyhow you can't blame Eddi for the video itself which was probably conceived by someone else. I agree some of the word changes are not needed.

@jrdouglas This song is meant to be a gritty wail of angst, sung by a rebellious youth who feels the world is against him. This vapid version sucks the life right out of it. Showgirls? Vamping? Why? The lyric "We're like tigers in a cage" expresses the angst beautifully. Replacing it with the meaningless "We're like flowers in a cage" is an insult to intelligence. You sing well, Eddi, but you've turned this classic into an insipid puff piece. It's AWFUL.

Scotlands finest!!!

Reminds me of Just by Radiohead.

i love this song!she is great!

@jrdouglas Hi The best version ever, the icing on the cake...brill

@conmaesta HuH?

This knocks the arse out of the original, I really like the ajusting of lyrics in this version. Gene Pitney version is kinda depressing, especially when you read about the film it was written for.

CLASSIC
