This song and band still floor me almost 30 years later... although it's sad that they never received the accolades and respect that they deserved, the rest of the music listening world doesnt really deserve THEM
no other art work in any field has produced such great feelings as New Model Army is doing since I discovered them in '87, thanks God for this great band !
Sigh - memories. Youth and racing, thrilling excitement. Some bands, some music reaches right inside you, understands you and yet changes who you are :)
thanks MrRetisas Damm this brings up some memories !! i discovered NMA when i left the army and landed in harrogate bedsit land ,, and the songs were a kinda therapy for me
Love NMA, hard to have a "favourite" album but if pushed would be this one, saw them live in 1989 at Portmouth Guildhall, happy days! "as the spotlight turns towards me...."
I saw them couple a times 86-87. Proper crazy when they had a posse of wooden clog wearing nutters followed them every gig. Seen them half dozen times 2006-2015, shadow of those earlier days. Its part of a whole twisted masonic social program to tame popular culture
Their sound has changed, I really love some of the recent albums, and I can guarantee you won't regret seeing them live. They were the last band I saw 3 days in a row the week before lockdown. The world could have ended. Brutal concerts
@@thechri5357 Just booked my tickets. Never got to see them the first time around, looking forward to travelling down from the valleys of green and grey (AKA Lancashire) to finally see them live.
Not by a long shot. Despite some hiccups they have released several great albums since this one. you just have to open yr mind a bit as well as yr ears :-)
Subjectivness aside, this was their folky/ polished era. Vengeanc was where they began. High their metal phase. And now hes mellowed into an old punk rocker poet. The only dodgy one perhaps was eight. Love to the Family!
Not true. "Between Dog and Wolf" tops... well, probably anything that they've done, in my opinion. For me, it's closely followed by "Vengeance" and this.
"Fist slams against the wall, Curse the music that the neighbours play..." The neighbours were Polish, and invited me in and shared food, (and Polish Vodka) So, sometimes, it works.

Was at that McGonagles gig.Working on a ship arriving late in Dublin.Taxi booked by pilot(bless him)Ashore with the first rope in orange boiler suit and clogs(working gear)Missed the first 3 songs,probably looked a prat,but made the gig.Still going to see them.Best band ever
The song that started it all for me and NMA. A Life Muse gave me the cassette in high school, saying this song in particular reminded her of me, right down to Justin's chuckle at the end. I didn't feel that way then, but I loved the album, and the track ended up being incredibly prophetic as the following years unfolded. They are incredible.
Sigh... back when I thought youth would last forever. This song is sad and joyous and the same time. Memories and feelings , just indescribable .
Some of us never let go of this...me included....anger keeps us driven....xx

@@truetothegame2928 you don't know shit get back in your cave 🖕

Kate - A huge part of my life. and yrs too I'm guessing.
no other art work in any field has produced such great feelings as New Model Army is doing since I discovered them in '87, thanks God for this great band !
Elle est incroyable
🤍🤍🤍
Same
..years might pass but still one of my favourate songs ever...every time i play it i get reminded just how special this song is...
Another incredible NMA song. Justin Sullivan is a truly gifted songwriter who has produced so many masterpieces!
Never a truer word spoken my Metal lovin' namesake!!
Sigh - memories. Youth and racing, thrilling excitement. Some bands, some music reaches right inside you, understands you and yet changes who you are :)
Yes yes it s so Great these bass line...perfect Songs
Blows me away every time like the first
thanks MrRetisas Damm this brings up some memories !! i discovered NMA when i left the army and landed in harrogate bedsit land ,, and the songs were a kinda therapy for me
Words can't describe how superb this album is.
Artistically, I can't comment. As in, i can't play an instrument. Nor can I sing.
Personally. They have been part of my life since I was 13 yrs old. Talk about family.
Back in the days of record stores you could mention New Model Army and in the store you see a head or two slowly turn. A hidden fraternity..
This band never ages can listen to these all night
Wow, I just found a favorite from 30+ years ago. Sounds just as awesome now in '21 as in the 80's. The UA-cam time machine works again :)
The best
I ' ll never stop to love their songs, all, what a wonder of the World, thank you NMA !
Super Stimme mit Wiedererkennungswert❤toller Mann❤
... this brings up memories which hadnt ever been......
Superb lyrics. Great song.
74 next month....still fcuking love this !!
Love NMA, hard to have a "favourite" album but if pushed would be this one, saw them live in 1989 at Portmouth Guildhall, happy days! "as the spotlight turns towards me...."

Love this whole album and this is one of many great tracks
Still sounds brilliant !!
The last great NMA album. Fond memories. A great Family. X

Not thought about this band since like 1988, they just popped into my amnesiac-y skull
Mind boggling that they're STILL making albums!! '@.@'
An utter classic ! emotional and bouncy the best mix, always remembered and felt ! thanks for putting this up !
2:16 is stuck in my head for whatever reason.
one of the best examples of a great guitar solo being possible with one note
probably my favourite NMA track!
Masterpiece
Great!
Great band :)
Best NMA track ever
Hard band to find in the record stores, TY U-Tube 👍
Tune 😎😎
Fantastic
I am Lost!
"Fist slams against the wall,
Curse the music that the neighbours play..."
The neighbours were Polish, and invited me in and shared food, (and Polish Vodka)
So, sometimes, it works.
Smacznego;)
best Song ever!!!
Thanks For Upload !!! ♥
Lyric:
"Smash glass against the wall
Curse the music on the radio that the neighbours play.
Door slams, she turns her head
Watches through the window as he pulls away
Funny how your racing brain drives you so mad
When all the while you feel so numb
Too old to be clean far too young to be broken
Like an army we come
Cut back, left behind
I watched you self-destructing oh so many times
Shot down, once again
Sitting in a chair crying what am I going to do with my life?
Just learn to hide the way that you really feel
Never let them know that you're scared
But understand that you're not the special only one
Watch us now, watch us real close
How we all dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know
And as the spotlight turns toward us, we all try our best to show
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world
Let's go build a fire down on the empty beach when the waves are crashing high
White heat purify, as the sparks fly up into the great black sky
Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames
Stand as silhouettes against the dawn
It's far too late to try to sleep now, seems I'm never tired any more
I want to dance with this fire 'cause it's all that I know
We are lost we are freaks
And we try our best to show
I am lost
I'm a freak ha ha."
In Portuguese:
Letras
"Quebre o vidro contra a parede
Amaldiçoe a música do rádio que os vizinhos tocam.
A porta bate, ela vira a cabeça
Observa pela janela enquanto ele se afasta
Engraçado como seu cérebro acelerado te deixa tão louco
Quando o tempo todo você se sente tão entorpecido
Velho demais para ser limpo, jovem demais para ser quebrado
Como um exército chegamos
Cortar, deixado para trás
Eu assisti você se autodestruindo tantas vezes
Abatido, mais uma vez
Sentado em uma cadeira chorando o que vou fazer da minha vida?
Apenas aprenda a esconder o que você realmente sente
Nunca deixe eles saberem que você está com medo
Mas entenda que você não é o único especial
Observe-nos agora, observe-nos bem de perto
Como todos nós dançamos com esse fogo porque é tudo o que sabemos
E à medida que os holofotes se voltam para nós, todos nós tentamos o nosso melhor para mostrar
Estamos perdidos, somos malucos, somos aleijados, somos fracos
Somos os herdeiros, somos os verdadeiros herdeiros, de todo o mundo
Vamos acender uma fogueira na praia vazia quando as ondas estão quebrando alto
O calor branco purifica, enquanto as faíscas voam para o grande céu negro
Sacrifique essas muletas às chamas crepitantes
Fiquem como silhuetas contra o amanhecer
É tarde demais para tentar dormir agora, parece que nunca mais estou cansado
Eu quero dançar com esse fogo porque é tudo que eu sei
Estamos perdidos, somos malucos
E tentamos o nosso melhor para mostrar
eu estou perdido
Eu sou uma aberração ha ha."
Mcgonagles Dublin, anyone remember when they played think it was 1989, club long since gone....
Was at that McGonagles gig.Working on a ship arriving late in Dublin.Taxi booked by pilot(bless him)Ashore with the first rope in orange boiler suit and clogs(working gear)Missed the first 3 songs,probably looked a prat,but made the gig.Still going to see them.Best band ever
It was my life at 21
oooooh q temazo!!!
ESPETÁCULO. AMO ESSE SOM
It's probably not about autism, but as and autistic person, that song is really relatable!
Friend. We are in this together...spirits scream and sing!
aww man
pour l'éternité !!! prix nobel pour justin !!!
I consider this to be the gen x anthem
The song that started it all for me and NMA. A Life Muse gave me the cassette in high school, saying this song in particular reminded her of me, right down to Justin's chuckle at the end.

We are the heirs
Best ending of a song ever: from 4:00 Min.
I only recently learned that Robert wrote and played bass on this. Apparently Moose just couldn't get it.
We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak

Robert on bass
