Lyrics
Now the world is getting older
There's a few things to be said
Do you believe the things they told you
Do you believe the things you've read
There's a rumour on the corner
But it's always been denied
Cause they don't want you any wiser
You're just toeing the party line
From the west side to the east side
From the north side to the south
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth
Look out for those who still want to hang on
Look out for those who live in the past
Get out and listen to the whisper
Because the times are changing fast
From the west side to the east side
From the north side to the south
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth
You don't believe the information
You don't believe it when it's denied
So when you're reading explanations
You have to read between the lines
From the west side to the east side
Through the windows I'm looking out
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth
Songwriters: Christopher Neil / Mike Rutherford
#MikeAndTheMechanics #WordOfMouth
Listening In April 2024. I absolutely love these Mike and The Mechanics Legendary Song Tracks & Albums . Much better than the crap of todays music.
I know because im a 1960s born woman.
Hello Y'all 👋 sent from Liverpool 🇯🇪 UK

They are still Awesome ❤ 2:38
the hits album with the red cover is sensational not one bad song on there amazing
Love Mike + The Mechanics
Me too. Mike and the Mechanics are legends - 1960's Netherley lad. (born '67)
Underrated group, one of the best. Much better than the crap released nowadays
👍 yes!!
Very True
That‘s so true
Never a truer word spoken!
so freaking true! bands formed in the 70s and 80s rule the music world, until today!
I seriously can't believe Paul is no longer with us. This song must be one of the most underplayed songs ever.
The fck are you talking about ? Poul Young is alive,and well , played in Mexico City saturday....i know i was there
@@arnbjarnarson Different guy. This Paul Young passed away in 2000. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Young_(singer,_born_1947)
@@arnbjarnarson wtf😂😂
Its really unbelievable, a great loss. His voice is great. Listening in 2020 - word of mouth
@@arnbjarnarson Actually just saying Paul can be confusing as even in Mike and the Mechanics we had two singers named "Paul" (Paul Carrack and Paul Young). Though even more confusing could be that there are at least 3 well known musical artists named Paul Young. First there's the Paul (Antony) Young, known for songs like "Come back and Stay", "No Parlez", "Love of the Common People" and many more. Then there's John Paul Young known for "Love Is in the Air". Finally there's the Paul Young, that is relevant here, who was part of MATM and passed away in July 2000
Its 2023 and i only realized what lyrics said today!! This song was warning us in 1991 already! This misinformation from mainstream media has always been going on. Absolutely crazy! This is the song playing from my speaker in the streets when the people decide to start the revolution!!
I’m listening to Mike&The Mechanics Word Of Mouth near the end of May 2023
I heard this on Spotify today and just played it for my hubby and said how appropriate the words are today with everything that's gone on and is going on.
@@taurusgirl2238absolutely. It's madness out there and these lyrics are very fitting 😊
Amazing how relevant this song is even today
Especially today.
@@tangentarc7477 Trump only become president because of the word of mouth
It’s always the same, just have a look at Biden. Promising stimulus checks, a plan to combat corona, no air strikes, no deportations, no kids in cages. They’re all a bunch of liars and hypocrites ...
@@BardeauxWolf Biden promised to be a true moderate, "back to normal". Instead, we just get an even bigger government and lose more of our liberties. I can't even spend my "stimulus" checks because I'm expecting a big tax increase. Capital gains doesn't just affect the wealthy! This song is even more relevant now.
@@BardeauxWolf Kids in cages is necessary. You can't just let kids walk into the country without processing. And often adults bring kids over the border who aren't their actual biological kids. There is nothing wrong with kids in cages. Stop being an open borders communist.
In 1993 we were asked to bring a cassette of our favourite song in to school for the last day of term.. This was mine.. Good days..
An excellent choice, then. You obviously have great taste in music.
Lyrics are so applicable today. They were so ahead of their time.
Actually, the lyrics are timeless.
So relevant@@ethenallen1388

This song deserves so much more attention.
Paul Young never ceased to amaze me. He was an incredible talent. RIP Youngy.
what a singer he was
Fantastic voice. Way better than the more famous Paul Young
Timeless song and so underrated ❤
Born in1960 ,1985 was 25yrs old,still remember how they used to make me crazy(Michael Rutherford).These days when listening I become nostalgic ❤
I’ve always loved this song and it speaks volumes about the shit going on in the world nowadays.
Just terrific. RIP Paul Young ... the best.
I've heard other versions, with other singers,,, and, no, they're just pretenders to the throne...
Happy Heavenly Birthday 🎂 to the late Paul Young who turned 77 years old

Best song ever, my favorite
Got this tape for my 16th birthday. My sister got it for me. She died couple of years back so when I heard this I just burst into tears. Man can you even believe we were ever that young...

Still listening in 2019, and still one of my favourites to this day. Don't understand how people can give this a thumbs down. Finally, RIP to the legend Paul Young x
I didn't knew that he died.
Same!
@@dominikdeme6004 different Paul Young
I'm listening to Mike and The Mechanics Words Of Mouth mid August 2022
And in 2023 such a powerful song , one of my favourite mechanic songs
First time I ever heard this amazing song is when spotify played this song randomly, it took me bey surprise how much awesome this song is.
Same here.
Nailed it! so prophetic.
One of the most underrated songs ever. Great played loud on the stereo
Nothing short of an absolute masterpiece. How can this song only have one view? I've watched it 580,303 times...
Yessss! I see what you did there, very good.
What a wonderful voice, thank you Paul Young.
I am a massive Paul young fan , I was lucky enough to shake his hand at the end of a Mike and the mechanics concert at the. symphony Hall Birmingham then before I knew it he was gone . What a talent .. sadly missed 😪
He is my uncle paul he passed away in 2000 heart attack rest in peace uncle paul
I.knew him. He eas a lovely man
With the vocal harmonies these guys should be as big as The Eagles, even with the current lineup.
Old school best music. Listen to it all the time until the future ❤❤❤
Paul young such a powerful clean vocalist rest in peace brother
Such an underrated song and still relevant today.
Guy has an incredible voice. Glorious song. Such an anthem.
What a brilliant singing voice that the late, great Paul Young had. In fact, I believe that he had a five octave vocal range and that fact doesn't surprise me at all, as he had one of the most powerful rock voices of his generation. How I wish that I could sing exactly like him. Some hopes of that. He was a brilliant, yet (bizarrely) hugely underrated singer throughout his illustrious career, who was taken way before his time. R.I.P The Unforgettable Paul Young.
didn't know he died 😢
@@lancemckellar Yes. On 15/7/00, he suddenly collapsed at his home in Altrincham, Cheshire from a massive heart attack and tragically died on the way to hospital. He was just 53 years old. Rest In Peace.
Please note:
He is NOT to be confused with the 80s UK solo pop singer of the same name, who had huge hits with 'Wherever I Lay My Hat' and 'Love Of The Common People'. THAT Paul Young is still alive and well.
Who's listening in 2020? 😉
1. FC Köln 🇮🇩🐐♥️
Mike& The Mechanics is a must!
One of my long lost pearls of the 80ies💖
ME
This should be chart topper all around the world!
Miss that guy so much. RIP Paul Young.
He isnt dead
@@arnbjarnarson he's talking about the Paul Young who was a vocalist in Mike & the Mechanics, not the Paul Young of Wherever I Lay My Hat fame
Sometimes Music Speaks To The Deepest Part Of The Human Soul. 🙌
The brilliance of this supergroup has often left me speechless. Mike choosing two different vocalists with different voices and strengths to share that aspect a true stroke of genius. I think Mike understood for the group to be successful he needed a Phil Collins type of personification. I think Paul Carrack filled that bill. But the voicing and strength of Paul Young was great too. Sadly PY is no longer among the living.
Grew up in a family of knowledge and hatred, my mother would play this randomly and now i understand, it brings tears to my eyes.
An everlasting classic.
Who’s still listening 2023? This song is so relevant in every time period

Whichever Paul stepped up to Front you always got a great performance. He took centre, with that true Frontman presence, powerful vocal, emotion delivery, verse, chorus, second verse, chorus. As good as anyone out there. Mike himself would stand off to the side, playing the guitar part. However, when the break dropped, Mike came out with another world class solo to remind us all, this is Mike AND The Mechanics, this is HIS band. Mike Rutherford, World Class Guitarist.
I must have heard this song a 1000 times before but never really listened. Today was the 1st time the words of this song "came home" to me. What a powerful message that this song proclaims!
The Most Timelessly Relevant Song...
I keep forgetting how much this song is an absolute belter!
Such an underrated group honestly, The Word of Mouth album is so legendary, glad to have this on cassette, literally.
Who's listening in 2023?

What a brilliant group 👍🏻
This was the first CD I bought for the CD player my parents gifted me back in the day. I remember picking out this CD after having heard this song in the radio. I remember where I bought it, the surroundings, the weather...crazy how things like that stick with you although almost 30 years ago.
It's 2023 and we still believe what they say and do nothing about that..

Love these guys! Great songs they've put out throughout the years!!
More relevant today than ever 😂
This song went together with me all around the world (I was Captain with the Navy), whenever we entered or leaft harbour this song has been played for the crew and too via our outship speakers as loud as possible. I still love this song !!
Fabulous track.
Great bands went extinct in the 2000s. Loved this band in the 80s and 90s❤️
If you are totally down.... face in the dirt... nearly dead... and anyone plays this song... you get up and go ahead..! i have never ever heard a song this motivating.
