This song gives me a nostalgic vibe from a time that I didn't even lived yet because it's supposed to be now while I'm still young. I miss the golden times that I never had.
I was 21 in 1990 and they were great times. Organise yourself a late 80's/ 90s Indie club night and you will get a good feel. Going out with your friends, a few drinks and onto the dance floor for great song after great song....there you go!
Very poetic way of putting how you feel in words! I did live through their run. It's nice to know younger generations can appreciate great musicianship from melody composition arrangement to poetic phrasing.
Saw them in Albuquerque, New Mexico when they toured for I've Seen Everything and it was one of my all-time favorite shows! They sound as good today as they did 30 years ago!!!
This one song has so many banger lyric references for me. I've said "oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems" millions of times in the last twenty years or so.
Best band ever. Lucky enough to have seen them 3 times, and even more fortunate to spend an hour or so with them after a show. And they were the absolute best folk. The chance to talk about their music with them as such a huge long time fan was the best thing ever
Such a fantastic song, though I doubt the busking version was quite all that, interesting seeing the karaoke words and just how good they are, as some of the turns of phrase in that thick Scottish brogue eluded me. Clever f'n c'ns
And proof that even with a little following, your words will find the right people. Better to be little known and well loved than well known and widely hated n all that 💛
I'm so incredibly enamored by the notion of having been there for this so simple performance. But the reality is, for me, the memory of this song, is introducing it to a few good friends from, Eckerd College in like 1991 at the southern most point of HYW 19, in St Petersburg after we'd left McDonalds, FL. The awesome stereo in the car was a variable, but F.... This song is still (2021) awesome. F'ing incredible, and still entirely relevant lyrics.
only tongue can tell was the bait that reeled me in but it could just has easily been this one, super glued to my soul since the first play! for me it was a natural progression from rem, close lobsters, the connells, miracle legion, 10,000 maniacs, the railway children, the housemartins, the darling buds, the primitives, game theory & many others, not a new genre but a novel, passionate approach. it's a nice write up above but why does circling the circumference get overlooked so often? it's the cake hat trick, a triple play on a perfect album, a maelstrom of justified fury & a twisting tornado of poetic justice, "a straightforward answer is out of the question," & then even the odd comes in as a designated hitter & sends all runners home
@@garymullen3123 sounds good to me, thank you very much, I'll look them up! just found the Lolas & The Summer Suns, american & aussie jangle heaven, good places to start are Lolas - Doctor Apache & The Summer Suns - Why I Fell
My favourite song of all time. The music is lush, the lyrics clever and resonating (and I am in the third quarter of life now). Saw them at Glastonbury in a tent and the music I heard on the album was made real. Great write-up but I still would recommend I’ve Seen Everything which is as good as Cake
I first heard this song in Ireland, and I absolutely loved it, I was trying to remember the name of the band, and I found it by mistake... YAY thanks UA-cam 😍🤩🎵🎶😊😁😀😎👍👍👍👍🎸🎸
I remember when one of the guys from the band,,,,, he had a skinhead,,,,, we were in a class that the social sent us to. The lassie who was taking the class said omg your famous when she found out your work history. This was in Kilmarnock about 20years ago. My name is Bobby Joe. Or BJ. Do you remember we went ten pin bowling at the end of the first week and I went on a bender with a couple of guys who turned up. So I came back on Tue instead of Mon still mangled. Haha. I hope you remember. Btw it's nice to see your talent on you tube. She was right you are or should be famous🙏
The most underrated song of any British band I know of. I have loved this song since it was released. I love the whole album.
Know what it's like...
@@webcomradio5641 Scottish?
very SMITH like
Definitely a Scottish band.
SCOTTISH BAND
Absolutely takes me back to those lonely, obscure moments on my high school campus. Those wonder years, that wonder girl, that wonder love.
Just one of the best albums ever..never gets old for me
I didn't know this song until I watched the film 'Handsome Devil', and honestly, it's now one of my favourites!
Me too.
@@leandrolucas3728 awh I'm glad. It's a little gem of a film!
Omg....me too . Now I can't get it out of my head. It's like I am transported back in time
Mee toooo

Scottish Gold!! Shoutout to my Scottish brothers, from the U.S!!
Lyrical genius and a melody to die for :-)
I'm a a toerag from shire. It is brill to see Steph Douglas happy. Nowt impossible!
I like this poem
Saw them in Albuquerque, New Mexico when they toured for I've Seen Everything and it was one of my all-time favorite shows! They sound as good today as they did 30 years ago!!!
One of those songs I have been singing along my whole without a clue of what the lyrics actually mean. But some songs don´t need words.
Terrific band.
Cake is a brilliant album

As talented as James and the Wonderstuff of the nineties. One of the most beautiful songs of that era.
Discovering new bands is always cool. 👍
Great Scottish band.
TSC are proof that you can make brilliant songs without having any success.
I actually don't know if like your comment or hate it, but the points valid. Success isn't everything.

This album was brilliant and this song particularly. Lyrics are so smart
One of my best songs ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can't believe I barely heard of these guys just a couple years back, LOVE this song, AWESOME lyrics.
This is just beautiful, isnae?

"The flatmates" & "the gymslips very similar too the primitives and the darling buds

LOVE TCS. Saw them about 3 years ago in Philadelphia. Was a bucket list night for me. "I get them in" and "leave me alone" are soundtracks to my life.
Brings me back to my late teens-early twenties. Great memories and great album
Still amazing decades later. Six studio albums, several singles; superb quality over quantity.
I agree with the past comment completely!!!
It's from the 90's but still sounds so fresh.
BTW i m here after watching handsome devil
BEAUTIFUL!!🖤🖤🖤
Brilliant 👏
great song! the end!
Thanks for the lyrics. Now I know he doesn't feel like a Bedouin or wants to "twist and Bossa Nova" again!
looool this is hilarious I love his accent so much
Hey, I'm from Glasgow and I didn't know what he was saying! I came here to find out. Beautiful song. In my Top 50 all time.
That's what I thought too 😂😂😂😂
Love it!
Should've been bigger in Australia.
This is probably their biggest hit .

The 1st time I heard this, I thought it was The Smiths ⚘⚘🎸🎸🥁🎤 still very cool ❄❄
This song is a 100% accurate description of how I currently feel about life. Except I'll be turning 29 this year, not 21.
Exsquisite
Great song. Unfortunately, most of the youth today don't have a high enough literacy rate to really comprehend this.
Even when I was a kid and loved these guys no-one had heard of them. Probably a bit too jingle jangly for old Peel or NME.
Is this the original video? I recall a video which focused on a Rube Goldberg-like setup.
and I ate it too
They only played the best part twice damn
IMHO “I’ve Seen Everything” rivaled “Cake”.
Cake mixes.
