Lyrics
I always flirt with death
I could kill, but I don't care about it
I can face your threats
And stand up straight and tall and shout about it
I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you
You get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
But I won't need rehabilitating, oh no
I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you
Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet
Space travels in my blood
There ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
But I know I can't live without it, oh no
I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you
Another girl is loving you now
Another planet, is holding you down
Another planet
I was their sound mixer and tour manager for all their career from just before signing with Epic to the 'breakup' in NYC in late '80. So many good, but often hazy, memories! I still chat with Peter and John, and Peter's new albums are amazing. RIP my old friend Kellie, and Barrie Evans, the guitar tech who stayed loyal to Peter all the years of his life.
So rad! Cheers
@Random Restoration You're Alan's son or daughter?
Cool! I don't think I knew you then!
@Random Restoration I'm a Brit, but live in the US and have done for about 14 years now... definitely a man :) I'm the Chris from your Dad's picture of them and the crew outside the motel in Kansas in the 70s. "Chris Barrie and Digby" Barrie passed away year before last, but Digby's still knocking around! Were you around in the Only Ones days?
@Random Restoration I still listen to them often! The new live release from Chicago is pretty good in places too! I think I did meet you back then up at your house up in Highgate if I remember well... it's a little hazy these days!
I just got special view and babys got gun on lp.I have check out petes solo stuff
*THIS IS THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD*
*IM NOT JOKING*
Your not bragging! I pretty much agree
YOU'RE NOT WRONG.
Please do yourself a favour and listen to the rest of their discography.
Please.
Still love this tune. The intro was used for an Irish radio show back in the day by Dave Fanning. Rock on lads.
Irish people of a certain vintage will recognise the intro especially. It was used at the start of the Dave Fanning Rock Show on RTE Radio 2 every weekday night all through the 80s. He was our "John Peel" and he knew a good tune when he heard it.
I lived in wales but my radio picked up RTE. Loved, loved loved the Dave Fanning rock show, tuned in every 12 o'clock after peelie :)
I'm far too young to know that, thanks for the info.
My mates and I used to go on annual fishing holidays in Southern Ireland in those years and we always caught the show at 10 for this track each evening. Magic for us young English lads, great days and music.
@@ahopefor Great Radio was a fabulous thing
When we should have been doing our Ekker😂
Undoubtedly the greatest punk / new wave single of all time with a guitar solo so good it has never been beaten - not a wasted note anywhere.
True story...me & myyy LOVEEE
Best Dire Straits without Mark Knopfler eh.
It takes on a whole new dimension if you listen to it on LSD
One of the best singles along with teenage kicks by the undertones to come from the 70s
Yeh, Love and a Molotov Cocktail is a largely unknown classic from that era
Couldnt agree more. Perfect songs.
"Do we miss you, yes we do
Father sends his regards to you
Will I write, well once in a while
I'll send my love and a molotov cocktail..."
It is disturbing to see the Undertones do that song in middle age.
You could add "have i fallen in love " to that list x
Possibly the greatest rock single ever released! Even after 42 years, it still sounds as fresh and vital as the day it was released. Not an unnecessary note in the entire song, just a pure rocketship headed straight to the stars. I'm STILL in awe.
I Would agree. Total perfection. Brings tears to my eyes.
Well said Gil!
I'll go along with that.
Great description.
Check out ' Whips & Furs ' by The Vibrators, it came out two years earlier.
This is the song my friend who recently passed wanted playing as he' s fried. R.I.P Craig. He had a tattoo of the dragon off the album. It is a right tune.
One of my favourite songs of all time. This is getting played at my funeral and they'd better put my air guitar in the coffin with me, so I can join in on the solo.
Remember poggoing? Dancing to this as a young punk rocker in 1978/9. Happy memories. Wish I could go back and bathe in the memories. Take it easy...relax and enjoy my youth.
You CAN go back and bathe in the memories, you were doing it when you heard this track again, probably for the first time in years; you were doing it when you typed your comment and if you're reading this, you're doing it again now.
Fun isn't it..?
I cant seperate this song from a dark period of my youth,where i was filling my veins with poison.
Great music,but painfilled lonely times that i dont look back on with any fondness.I'm 57 now.
Great track! I'm a 53 year old aging punk rocker! Worked as a roadie with several punk bands back in my 20s, good times!
In my youth, I had lots of tough times.
But I try not to dwell on the past.
Don’t look back at the bad times my friend Anthony, look forward to a beautiful and precious life.
A spectacular orange sunset, a fresh-smelling forest.
The innocent laugh and smile of a child.
The 30,000 lenses of a dragonfly’s eyes, allowing it to see 360 degrees.
The vermiculate patterns of a brook trout, holding against the current in a crystal clear mountain stream.
A great music track, such as this.
There is so much beauty around us, but sometimes we do not see it.
Fall in love with life, and its beauty.
We only get one shot at life, treasure it.
Had a rough time too - got way too spaced out. The music was just so good but there are a couple of pieces I just can't listen to because of the dark memories. XTC's Senses Working Overtime is one. This piece is great though, I was still out there gigging and fighting the NF when this came out. Never saw them live (I think). Good to see you're still with us.
Glad to hear you're doing well now. I find this quite fascinating.. I'm 23, bought my first scooter last year around the same time I first heard this song. It's one of those that will always remind me of a really special time in my life.
@@BintAlAbla1999 the innocent laugh and smile of a child breaks my heart. My daughter died last year and I will never see that beautiful laugh again.
Me too. They were playing the 100 Club with the Pistols. Amazing time, but I was in a state...
I feel blessed to have been a teenager when this came out, what a song! Why hasn't it got MILLIONS of views? It's so well put together and performed, that guitar solo is so fine and the other musicians are too...SNAZZY!
"Why hasn't it got MILLIONS of views"
Because it only matters as nostalgia for old people.
🐺🎸🇹🇷🇮🇲🌨️💚
@@vapourmile that's a crass and basically inaccurate way to put it because some of us discovered it later in life and it is an eternally perfect song. So sorry to burst your bubble mr. Poopy Pants :P
@@vapourmile I’m 91 bro I’m getting old but I discovered this song in like 2013 when I first watched Garrett hill skate in zero new blood
You’d think, wouldn’t you ? It has been covered a lot ….not always credited.
this song should have way more views
is not their oficial channel tho
Where is their official channel? This looks like a good candidate. There's too many free loading hipsters in the world, by the way...
Too radical an idea to be mainstream! Lol
Life changing song even today. It's easy to see why it's better covered to death and cited as inspiration by so many.
I think it saved my life along with the Flammin Groovies Slow Death!
I love this tune, the whole thing, but I gotta say, this guitar solo is, well... transcendent. In the late Seventies I would play this over and over, and it still sounds just as good now as it did then.
Guitar solo up there with the best
I still think this song is so underrated. It is perfectly executed and has some exceptionally talented musicians playing it.
This song is just a jambalaya mish mash blah. Very plain.
Agree. One of the greatest rock songs of all time.
Very Under-rated. I love to Pogo to this song
Name one person who underrates it.
YES! YES! YES! Fantastic tune. My friend Ian 'Moggy' Moulsdale R.I.P put me on to these guys . Thank you! x
Great music always uplifts, delights and confounds. Another gem. Saw them twice back in the day, once supporting Johnny Thunders Heartbreakers at the Marquee.
Inspired Robert Smith from The Cure to write the song "Just like Heaven"
Roberts own word:
"Although I didn’t realise it at the time, the structure is actually very similar to a song called 'Another Girl Another Planet' by The Only Ones, which I can still vividly remember hearing on the radio late at night in the mid-70s. The main difference is that as the song progressed, I introduced some different chord changes which give it that slightly melancholic feeling."
Mitch Mitchell meets Keith Moon. Wow what incredible drums on one of the best power pop songs ever! Never fails to blow me away. That's the way it's done, Mike Kellie. RIP.
Greatest pop song of all time! First heard it on a compilation " Permanent Wave" in 1979 (still got the vinyl). It has "Lovers of Today" on it as well with The Diodes- "Red Rubber Ball" cover, another brilliant pop song.
…& there it is, I’m 64 May 2024 & it’s still under my skin.
I saw them in Lawrence, Ks in the late 70's at the Opera House. It was a small crowd but they were great! Way underrated.
I wasn’t even born then. You’re lucky! 😄👍🏻
I come here from the movie "Paul"
The effortless swagger of British rock n roll is something I wish we had today
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris..
My soundtrack to starting my punk band 🎉
I always think this song is so great it's unimaginable. Once saw a DJ in Brighton playing it, he was standing on a table in the middle of the room with everyone dancing around him - amazing image
That's great
Peter Perretts vocal! OMG, this stupendously great song transports me right back to the late 70s. The Only Ones came outta the punk and new wave scene.
This song is totally ICONIC.
I love it so much.
Yep still here
Haz 2 b one the greatest songs of all time
Just like heaven inspiration
"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace."
Oscar Wilde.
fortunately he snapped out of that on his deathbed and realized how serious a journey he was about to take, and asked for a priest to bring him to Jesus. death won't be pleasant without God, and neither is heroin. this song is nice though
@@slick_Ric Heroin is pleasant with or without God, but I agree with you on the death and song parts.
OSCAR CORN EATER !!!!!
@@slick_Ric based and correct observation
@@slick_Ric ZZZZzzzzz.
I've heard this song for years but never knew what the band looked like. now that I've seen the band, they are nothing like I imagined.
Same. Loved this song forever, but never saw the band. Not what I imagined.
Saw these guys 78/79 in Newcastle (UK) Loud sweaty and utterly magnificent live.
There are a handful of times that the first time o heard a song by an artist my response was “what did I just hear?’ In that very elite category would be the first time I heard: Bob Dylan (don’t recall the song), Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen and this song by the Only Ones. It stood out like a sore thumb in 1979 but has stood strong. over the years. Way ahead of the curve.
I saw them perform this in the late 70s at Eric's Club Liverpool. We were blown away and couldn't get the song out of our heads. Still sounds amazing
Super jealous.
Saw many bands at Eric's but missed this one. Great club, great music.
Just about a perfect song - what a gem!
first listen aged 16 aged 61 now still one of the best tunes ever
Just Yes and more Yes. XXX
The greatest new wave song ever written in my humble opinion and one of rock greatest opening riffs
Agree.
So do I.
Guy in the shades!! Coolest man on the planet
I’m a millennial and first heard this when one of my favorite pro skateboarders got the ok to have this song used for his part. Really glad they said ok
Because it’s freaking amazing.
Great song to cruise and skate too.
Yes! You have 1.4million views!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎵👍😁
this has got such road trip with your friends feels to it
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris..
@@PatrickMorris-sm8dv ill give it a listen
One of the most exciting guitar solos ever encased by the perfect single
The guitar solo is amazing.
John Perry's lead guitar solo on this always reminds me of Mark Knopfler's style on Sultans of Swing.
Robert smith said this was the inspiration for just like heaven
18k likes should be 180.000.000
Power Pop at it’s finest!
Britain in the late 70's & early 80's
everyone was a Rock Star. 😉
I genuinely feel sorry for people who weren't young at this time. 😏
@@SirAntoniousBlock I was young at the time but too young to remember most of this. My parents listened to Radio 2, which meant I got to hear decent sixties music sometimes.
@@thursoberwick1948 Before computer games Youth + Boredom = An explosion of creativity in music art fashion etc.
The timing is beautifully chaotic, pure 'feel'. Fills me with excitement and joy, just to hear notes rushing, but just enough to be perfectly off the beat, by a wonderful amount. Not out of time, raw emotion.
This was played at my step dads funeral ❤ love and miss him
I was so chuffed my teenage daughter pointed me at this song.
Gurl, I lost both my vinyls of this tune half a decade before I met your ma, here, let me show you the bassline on your uke.
Ha .....nice one, buddy. :-) :-)
Can't even understand what your trying to say. Write like you got some sense. CORN EATER
@@kirkdonnelly6450 is it the word "chuffed" that you don't understand or are you just "taking the piss"? I used to think chuffed meant annoyed or angry when in fact it means "very pleased", quite the opposite. British slang is very imaginative. I hope that cleared it up for you, if so Bob's your uncle.
Gotta have a slash now my China so ta.
Sorry, kind of over did it but it's hard to stop. Not trying to "wind you up" so don't get all shirty. Cheers.
P.S. is "corn eater" slang for something? It sounds a bit rude. I want to know how-stroke-when to use it. If you have a chance, take a butcher's hook at this www.oxfordinternationalenglish.com/dictionary-of-british-slang/
Laters
A superb song.
I am so happy to see Peter Perrett come through his dark times and is making music again.
great track...we'll never hear stuff like this anymore..
British New Wave
Most possibly the greatest rock song ever
Why cant we have great stuff like this anymore? Thank goodness we can still access the good stuff...
One of the great mysteries of our time.🤔
When you bash out a banger that will live for ever!
This song was years ahead of its time.
My favourite single in its day. I never understood why The Only Ones never made it big. ❤️
This song is just a jambalaya mish mash blah. Very plain.
@@bonsummers2657 Get back to your Dire Straits mate. 🤡
Wow. What is good then? This roars.
this is their only good song!!
Rubbish.
Absolutely no idea where or when I first heard this but its been my alarm for 15 years...how strange.
John Perry. Under the wire 6 string greatness.
Banger
In my all time top ten, brilliant guitar riff, just love this song.
This was proper music still as fresh
as it was back in the day .Nothing
in today's drivil comes close.
That’s because you have got old and don’t like modern music in the same way your parents would of said this was drivel
Incredible song
David Webb ..."Webby" rip mate!!
Maybe the best 3 minutes of rocknroll in the universe, loved this song my entire life
Dude,.,,,I have to laugh....me too...every version...every cover,, ,From Johnny to Social D,,, it has a killer horn hook that perfectly fits
with 3 basic chords....and the lyrics are legendary,,,,,,I heard it in the 60s.....and learned to play it in the late 70s early80s,,,,,When my godson made his first communion ,..I . bought him a squire strat... .He was a little to young but...quite a bit later, ,,he ask me how to play it.Ring OF ...Dude?...come on ....three chords DCG....or you can play it in any key......that was around the end of the 90s...early 2000....so I move from Boston to San diego in 2002....of course...I dont see all my neices and nephews ....maybe1 or 2 times a year....and now they all have babies and young children,,,,,About a month ago.....I get a FaceTime invite from my godson...Hey whats up Uncle?...Hey man....where are you ...?...in my driveway in my car.....he goes hold on...and points the camera in the back seat where his 2 or 3 year old son.is......and the kid is manic...and hootin and making baby noise..and singing ....I say what the fuck is wrong with the kid....?....kiddingly ....and he laughs ...he' is singing Ring of Fire....its his favorite song......begs me all day ...ginga ga ya daddy ginga ga ya.....Is that fucking cool or what?...it made my day
Yep. It's a hoot.
Like the Flamin' Groovies Shake Some Action its a classic that ones in the know, know well. 👍
@@strictlynorton tu si saber saludos lima perup
one of the best songs of the punk era!
What about this song is "punk". There have been more genres at the end70s than just "punk"
@@joe22589 every thing about it is punk,back then punk was an attitude/rebellion stance against a stagnant society not some mohican haired leather jacket bandwagon crap
Classic New Wave. Not Punk.
Ultramutt Post-Punk?
This is power pop straight up. It has proto-punk elements to it but I don’t see how this can be considered anything other than a classic of power pop
I thought this was the Buzzcocks for years.Doh Great great tune 😎😎😎
That guitar riff is just incredible. For that reason alone this song should be in the Top 10 new wave tunes
I once stood about 2 foot away from the bass drum ( in a club in Bristol in 1977) whilst they played. Cardinal moment in my musical experience!
Probably one of the best songs ever. Watching from London UK.
The Ritz, Manchester. Monday nights ....
Re-watching the movie "paul" after so many years has brought me here
The perfect 3 min pop song.
Played it every week in the 80's still as good today.
Nuff said
This song is just a jambalaya mish mash blah. Very plain.
Best song ever made ...
Fantastic intro
This is the only song ever made that comes close to Alternative Ulster by SLF with regard to such meaningful personal lyrics and a blistering guitar solo! What a belter of a song this is!!
THIS is PERFECT. 👌👌👌👌👌
If you wanted to explain to today's music fans what new wave was all about, this song would be all you would need to play. It is quintessential.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris..
So underrated. Do you think that the replacements listened to this?
one of those perfect songs (like Teenage Kicks or I Can't Escape Myself)
God I love that guitar solo.
I remember listening to this song when I was 20.. love this song… greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
This one and The Big Sleep ❤pure bliss...long lost teenage dream years
You can tell this song inspired "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure.
Exactly prro
listen to “ex lion tamer - wire”
@@joeledwardgunscristinoponc983 prro
One of the first singles I bought when I was 11 or 12, hearing it first like many of my generation, late at night on the John Peel show with the radio under my pillow! The flipside track 'Special View' is often overlooked and well worth a listen!
Yeah - i grew up in a little fishing town on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland - my older brother and I in bunkbeds, passing a little radio back and forth song for song in our bedroom lit up by the northern lights - this stuff coming at us from the future, a message from our then and future other selves - another world, another planet
Was doing the same at boarding school. Kept me sane. Another one from Matumbi!
This song means more to me than any other. It takes me back to a place and time that I loved.
This song is so good, Blink 182's version ia good too
One of the most charming voices in music. Love. Love. Love.
Should have millions of views
Pretty cool they got Adrien Brody to play drums for the music video!
What a song
if you like this you might like my brothers music. his name is Stu Morris..
One of the great pop/rock singles of all time....
Quite possibly the greatest guitar solo EVER!
Guys and their guitars 🎸 😍
Adrian Brody has always beena good drummer
This song is definitely on another planet awesome
