My 1st record was Masquerade! Purchased for £1 from Woolworths in Stowmarket on my 13th Birthday 30th June '79 Still have it. One of my most cherished items.
agreed. I'm from Toronto and will forever remember The Skids from 1982 and then BC. Stuart struck me. I'm older now of course and still listen to 'Close Action' and 'Charles'.
I've been watching Brideshead Revisited on tele, and thinking about this whole era, and this is a perfect embodiment of the connection of that nostalgia and Post-Punk creativity!
I'm with you there, Stuart stopped playing for BC when people were fighting and went to talk to them and then went back on stage and acted as if nothing had happened - who does that nowadays eh?
Found an old cassette mixtape from the early 80's. This song was on, could NOT remember the group's name, thanks UA-cam, a punk/glam/new wave classic!!
that's sooo true! and we have bunches of mainstream bands putting out videos where they pretend to play their own songs with their own instrument and fail. sad.
pizzicato violin imitation. pop video...from 1979? (mtv1982) cannae hear the lyrics... Skids: extroverts. BC: introverts. All tunes by SA. But not the Skids lyrics. No lyrics on a Virgin Years boxset seen recently. Could've been. Oh well. All is not well. Smell.
Stuart was and is still so perfect , even in his shortcomings !
Kids nowadays would not understand such great music as this. R. I. P Stuart
Nonsense, I’m 19
Another great song by a fantastic band
the Skids i understand their still gòing
i would like to watch them .
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cannot watch the clip without missing my 'pen-pal' Stuart. He was a real poet and created some of the best songs I ever heard. Miss you, Stu!
Classic Skids Dunfermlines and Scotlands finest Punk Band! Class act R.i.p Big Stewart.

I too really liked The Skids but have no clue what is being sung about, apart from 'charade', I don't understand one single word. Don't matter though.

I saw Skids supporting The Damned at Hammersmith Apollo a year ago …they were better !
i tore the baws out of my pvc trousers trying to copy jobson
