I grew up in Ilkley. It was some time around late 1997, and we could never work out what this song was or how it had managed to sneak onto the jukeboxes of every pub in the town. Turns out Gomez had rented a house there - small provincial town with a population of under 15,000 - and had managed to sneak their album, prior to commercial release, onto the jukeboxes. Chances are, I was standing right next to the band in the pub on many occasions when this weird tune came on.
I discover the Gomez with my former girlfriend. I've being in the local musical scene of my town all my life hanging 'round with musicians and when I found them, the very first time, was like a shock. Today I follow Ben Ottewell every time he play live solo. All this pandemy he keep me company in somehow. ^_^ Love life to The Gomez !
@@johnpoole4830 1 Sheffield 2 scousers and 1 Manc I think classic tune either way but I was same when I found out lol but Sheffield is blessed zeplin artic monkeys Gomez too many to mention steel industrial citys make good indy rock
I can remember watching mtv really late one night and this debut i loved it straight away and i said to myself this band is gonna take off big time,went down to the record shop (feels weird writing that lol) and asked for a copy,they said i was the second person to ask about it and they said it was going to be released the following week. They took my number to call me soon as it came in ,it seemed like the longest wait ever but soon as that call came in i was straight down there and bought a copy for 99p on tape what a bargain !!! Took it home put stereo on full blast rolled a massive joint of white window and off i went into the world of Gomez and what a world and what a ride its been!! 1 of my all time favourite bands ever, i showed absolutely everybody this band and everybody who heard them loved them instantly!! My dad brought me up to respect true live bands so as you can imagine i grew up listening to the greats such as zepplin ,hendrix,who,pink floyd etc so when i i tried to introduce my dad to new music which was around at that time he wouldnt of given it a second chance trust me lol but when he heard this tune, well that was a different story!!! he actually bought the album the day it came out thats how much he loved it!! Me on the other hand ,well i had to wait till my pay day to get mine but it was well worth it coz finally i could share some amazing new music with my old man my hero my dad r.i.p loves ya dad xxx.......
One of the most brilliant debut albums of all time. Seemed almost impossible to surpass, then they delivered that OMG moment with 'liquid Skin'. BRING IT ON!
Oh my the memories - I trained for so many marathons with this tune in my walkman, then my iPod ...great tune for creating cadence for endurance running
I’ve been following these guys since 1999, and it kills me that they haven't had the success that they deserved. Whereas the likes of Coldplay and Adele are worshipped here and in the States, FFS!!!
Always been knew of my favourite Gomez tracks and this is a great stripped back version of it! 👌🏻 will never know how they didn’t rule the world. So under appreciated
This is the first I've heard of this band and this song. Does that mean I've wasted my life? So many jewels hidden in the mud. There's not enough hours in the day....
Be interesting to hear how they managed to get Toby Jones in the video, great show by Ben and Ian last night in Liverpool, much love and keep the music coming guys
Toby Jones has amazingly eclectic musical tastes, and has been spotted in many a specialist record shop, from Paris to Prague, from Birmingham to Budapest. And what an amazing actor. Just watched him (here) in Witness for the Prosecution - stunning.
Lost track of these guys after the first two albums but by golly they were fuckin' talented. Also kids, that thing that says 'Save Thyself' at 2:40 is a PAGER. It was a very slow, one-line-at-a-time precursor to Whatsapp.Only self-important people had them.
Aww man! This brings back memories. I never was into these at the time but i'm just downloading the bands that i saw at my first festival at v99. looking back and hearing this...man!,The good times are hard to hold.
bangin tune. saw u boys in LA house of blues with our yankee mates, blindin gig. loved you and made us feel back at home and proved to our mates that UK produces the best musical talent in the world. peace out homies.
Thank you for being the most inspirational soundtrack to my travelling years through Europe! Loved seeing you in Perth West Aus at the Blues and Roots. It was a dream come true! Please make more music!.. if you want to.
No wonder Toby Jones lost his job with the Post Office, nothing to do with Horizon, he was too busy swanning around making music videos & not being behind the counter
not enough hours in our life.....we like lovin' you...i know why we should.... i never realized there was a vid made for this and now that i'm seeing it i gotta say--it really brings the existentialism out---it also calls to mind the more playful brit bands of the 60's like dave clark 5--the ones who liked to mess with the viewers as well as playing their happy sounding song! but maybe that's just me. love the guy having to literally force himself onto escalator and when you see him arriving!
Once upon a time, not too long ago We took a day out in Manchester We all fall down There's not enough hours in a day Played a bit of football, fell into the union Barged our way into the toilet With the kung fu king There's not enough hours in a day I remember seeing someone dressed in a suit Looking like a lunatic And we all fall down There's not enough hours in a trip Well, academy cogwheels breaking your hand But we got lovely posters for sale And we all fall down There's not enough hours in a day We like loving, yeah And the wine we share We like loving, yeah And the wine we share Finally made our way back to the train Rolling into Sheffield tonight And it all falls down There's not enough hours in our life So try and guess my weight, waiting at the station Whippin' Piccadilly tonight And it all falls down There's not enough hours in our life We like loving, yeah And the wine we share We like loving, yeah And the wine we share

Posh Silsden imo.
Class !
The greatest song ever written about running around for a day in Manchester drunk.
Somebody hasn’t listened to Elbow…
By a a Sheffield band
... My wanker mate just informed me he was winding me up.... Scousers apparently. 🤮
@@robhamblett I'd rather listen to the washing machine

Me and a mate did take speed and travelled from the Wirral THROUGH Manchester to a student party in Sheffield at 2am on a Saturday morning so almost.
One of the greatest bands and songs ever.
really?
It is great tho
What a fucking quality song this is.Still holds up so well today.

Great comment. R.I.P to your Dad.

California is my favourite on liquid skin ❤❤❤
I saw them live. awesome
The best backing vocal ever!
Such an underrated band. 3 of them have great voices!
Walked into Virgin megastore on sunset looking for great new uk indie music…walked out with this cd single. So good.
Just heard this in a pub, first time in years, forgotten how great Gomez are.
Top tune . Always puts a smile on my face and reminds me of Happy Times in Manchester in the 90s ;)
so many memories from this tune. Such an underrated band. never forget. love.
This is good, reminds me of being young & having freedom !
For 10 years, they were the soundtrack of my life!
Memories are flooding back what a great time of my life, take me back!!!!!!
Oh, 90's I miss you so much! 😭
With you on that! ❤
Starring Toby Jones, the villain from Captain America and Captain Manwairing :D
And above all - Lance in Detectorists :)
Hail Hydra...
That's a cool fact, thanks Guru Larry from 3 years ago!
Just what i was about to say/type.
P.s 'ello you!!!! (Sorry Larry, couldn't resist)
Oh my the memories - I trained for so many marathons with this tune in my walkman, then my iPod ...great tune for creating cadence for endurance running
Brilliant live band.
I’ve been following these guys since 1999,
and it kills me that they haven't had the success that they deserved. Whereas the likes of Coldplay and Adele are worshipped here and in the States, FFS!!!
They weren't about selling their souls, just making music 😎
OH MY GOD!!! I've been looking for this song for about 12 years, and at last, here it is on UA-cam since 2009!
Ditto!!
2024 and I've just found it and Sparklehorse. Great time for music 🎶
Reminds me of my brother in the 90s. Still gives me chills. Love it
Always been knew of my favourite Gomez tracks and this is a great stripped back version of it! 👌🏻 will never know how they didn’t rule the world. So under appreciated
Have seen them twice live, great band.
Very lucky to see this live the other day.... such a great track. Never fails!!!
One of my favourite actors starring in the video for a song from one of my favourite albums. 😲😊
Love this tune reminds me of my teen years when life was hassle free!!!!!!
Rod Hull 🙌 Amen to that!
Rod Hull amen brother
Weres emu
Hear your cries man
Ditto bro
I think Piccadilly has been whipped enough ;-) Great song. classic x
This is the first I've heard of this band and this song. Does that mean I've wasted my life? So many jewels hidden in the mud. There's not enough hours in the day....
Yeah 🤠 ..! Vientos and one greet to them!
Argh. I just keep pressing repeat on this. Fabulous! They did the same to me when i was driving around Greece with Here comes the breeze.
amazing with headphones in!
Brilliant 👏 brings bk good memories xx
Ben Ottewell, what a voice!
thanks
I remember catching the cats down at Webster Hall a few time. Great shows !
Never gets old Gomez.... Ps come back to Adelaide you were brilliant live at thebarton theatre ❤️❤️❤️❤️
im back again..... still love it!!!!!
Be interesting to hear how they managed to get Toby Jones in the video, great show by Ben and Ian last night in Liverpool, much love and keep the music coming guys
I'm more interested in how Toby Jones stopped aging 30 years ago.
Toby Jones has amazingly eclectic musical tastes, and has been spotted in many a specialist record shop, from Paris to Prague, from Birmingham to Budapest. And what an amazing actor. Just watched him (here) in Witness for the Prosecution - stunning.
@@beanmcqueen No crack cocaine/children, and a pretty weird face to start with.
Toby Jones wasn’t as famous then! 🫤
@@nickwyatt9498Brilliant in Tinker Tailor.
this is one of my all time favourites from the good days! i won't say "old" days
Lost track of these guys after the first two albums but by golly they were fuckin' talented.

They still are. Reacquaint yourself mate, they're still delivering. Even better, see them live. Best live band ever. Honestly.
Page me!

Amazing band!! Just getting back into (my fave' i've heard so far, Liquid Skin - AWESOME!!
Surely that's Toby Jones OBE in the video!? Great actor.
Love Gomez, love this song.
Man, I found this again!........Feel's are strong with this one.........
Reminds me of uni days miss this band! REFORM for us go on!
Still an incredible song! 😎🎶
My friend introduced me to this band about 10 days ago. Gotta say, i've been missing out.
brilliant start to my morning...I will slow down now..it will all fall into place...my place..
A cool song - that's infinitely cooler for having Toby Jones in the video
Better than Noby Jones
and Reece Shearsmith right at the start (league of gentlemen)
@@lukemcevoy2385 Haha, good spot 👌
TWO Toby Jones's. He carried himself.
The ultimate detectorist
Was on The Box music channel all the time in 1999
Great song 👍
One of my favorites! :3
Tom and Blackie! Good lads from CTK. A great song from a brilliant album. This video must have been the launchpad for Toby Jones' career!
my dad showed me this a couple of days ago. i'd never heard it before. now it's the best song on my iPod
Hey it's "Nello" and that bloke from the Post Office, and yes, I'm a Stokie!
That driving rhythm is a killer !
No wonder Toby Jones lost his job with the Post Office, nothing to do with Horizon, he was too busy swanning around making music videos & not being behind the counter
Hahahahahaha!....Ace....
This is fantastic
Great tune
Easy there im looking for the old guitarist i was in rehab with years ago he was a sound guy peace and respect ✌️

Muy Buen Track de los británicos Gomez!!! con el actor Toby Jones como Invitado! por cierto, buen actor!
Love it
Love this!
not enough hours in our life.....we like lovin' you...i know why we should....
i never realized there was a vid made for this and now that i'm seeing it i gotta say--it really brings the existentialism out---it also calls to mind the more playful brit bands of the 60's like dave clark 5--the ones who liked to mess with the viewers as well as playing their happy sounding song! but maybe that's just me. love the guy having to literally force himself onto escalator and when you see him arriving!
gomez fantastic unique love em
Wish i could see them live, how could anyone not like this song?

What a tune what a band
superb tune
Amazing
From Gomez Vids to Captain America! nice work by that guys agent
Worth the adverts ❤
Once upon a time, not too long ago
We took a day out in Manchester
We all fall down
There's not enough hours in a day
Played a bit of football, fell into the union
Barged our way into the toilet
With the kung fu king
There's not enough hours in a day
I remember seeing someone dressed in a suit
Looking like a lunatic
And we all fall down
There's not enough hours in a trip
Well, academy cogwheels breaking your hand
But we got lovely posters for sale
And we all fall down
There's not enough hours in a day
We like loving, yeah
And the wine we share
We like loving, yeah
And the wine we share
Finally made our way back to the train
Rolling into Sheffield tonight
And it all falls down
There's not enough hours in our life
So try and guess my weight, waiting at the station
Whippin' Piccadilly tonight
And it all falls down
There's not enough hours in our life
We like loving, yeah
And the wine we share
We like loving, yeah
And the wine we share
Smallville brought me here many moons back and i never left.
I just love this!!!! what can I say if you know what you like this is top sxxx
0:35 is that the guy from the detectorists?
thanxx yes 👍
This randomly popped into my head so had to search it out miss music like this
HEY POPS
The guy in the suit is off the Superstylin music video also!!
Still a fantastic tune
SUPER...
Good memories of Withington and Didsbury ;) x
Music and video convincing
Ive been looking for this song for many years. All i can remember is the word 'manchester' in it 😂 and random guesses too
Izie Momok Talk about a needle in a haystack!!! Glad you found it in the end though!
@@AlisonBryen 😁 & the fact i kinda remembered the music video helped
just realised mr tumble is in one of my favourite videos of all time.....
Gomez The Original Flash Mob. Toby Jones, what an excellent actor
They are so good. Saw them in Towson, MD a million years ago. awe
Hard to believe this is 10 years old! Was my introduction to Gomez and I've been hooked ever since.
Try 21 years ago.
what I've learned from this video is that Toby Jones has looked like a man in his 50's his entire life
