My copy from the 1980's is still on cassette(yeah, I'm that old), and it's refreshing to hear this song without the ending suddenly blending in with "Those Days Are Over."
Thats what I've been saying for 25 yrs. Saw these guys at The Ritz in NYC back in the late 80s or early 90s, they were phenomenal. Kicked bloody bleedin' arse.
You just can't beat the 80's decade of variety all the way up to the very end of the decade when this song came out. You'd hear this one in the same block as INXS.

Saw them many times live on stage, also in small clubs. One of the best R&B acts ever. Same damn good music as Dr. Feelgood, Wilco Johnson, The Bishops and others
Don't claim to understand her I wonder what she's doing with me Don't know what she does with the rest of her time But she gives it to me for free She gives me love She gives me love She never takes my money But she always steals my time She's the kind of a girl that if you gave her the world She'd say it wasn't worth a dime She gives me love She gives me love It's not easy to explain it The effect she has on me Make a dumb man talk and a blind man see That sweet little mystery She gives me love She gives me love She gives me love She gives me love
They supported The Stranglers in Folkestone. They got no response whatsoever. What a bunch of losers in Folkestone. The Godfathers had me giving it laldy on the spot and pissing everyone off. Brilliant stuff boys - aggression with a tambourine - NICE ONE!!

Good band but the singer fucked us off at the Reading Festival in '87. He had on white trousers and was goading the crowd to try to hit him. How we tried, but to no avail. He kept saying , look, whiter than white. No one could hit him with any bottles or turfs!
Gonna check it out. Hey, all artists in all popular and folk forms are thieves and magpies, aren't they? In any case, the guitar solo on the drum break in this one is amazing, just sneaks up and totally murders it. I couldn't do it for love or money.
Anyone who's never heard of The Godfathers is missing out on some great music.
too right ! ...you would probably like my aussie band then - We loved the godfathers : BAD UNC SAM ua-cam.com/video/eB7E2rc3bwg/v-deo.html
I just found them and am I glad.
I agree 👍🏿
That's exactly what I thought when I first saw them at Bessie's Boathouse in the 80's. 2 hours of rock heaven.
Just heard it on radio
LOVE THIS BAND!!!
Released 35 yrs ago today. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY Gdads

one of the first bands I bought duplicates on CD
The epitome of 1990’s college music along with Catherine Wheel.
My parents used to go to the St Valentine's Massacre gig every year, and now I do ✌
Kick ass straight ahead rock band.
The Godfathers F'n ROCK! Seen them on this tour, one of the best concerts ever!
+Dennis Davis saw them 1987 they rock oh godNOOFFENSE do they ever
Thats what I've been saying for 25 yrs. Saw these guys at The Ritz in NYC back in the late 80s or early 90s, they were phenomenal. Kicked bloody bleedin' arse.
I guess it says something, when you can sing the song w/o having the cd for the last 13 yrs.
Great band!
For your Love 🎸😁 sounds like in background nice homage
Norwich - my old home town! First saw The Stranglers there at St. Andrews Hall in the '70s. Can't beleive I've only just discovered The Godfathers!
Peter m'avais dédié ce morceau, un soir de la Saint valentin, l'anniv' de mon papa chéri/ à Londres en 1994??? one of my all time favorites...
From the third album by this great British band. I'd seen them at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. a couple years earlier.
Un privilegio oirlos en directo en navarra fue a sus pies jefazossss 😊💪😎💪😎
pitty only 55000 views , nice song , good rythm section. sympathetic drummer.

This was a good one...a real good one.
Now time to listen to some Smithereens...Behind the wall of sleep. :)
Godfathers and Smithereens: two great bands!
Awesome band.
Great guitar players!
The drumming is awesome !!!
The rest also...
George Mazur was a good drummer but Kris Dollimore was the best on main guitar...
The band has not been the same since Dollimore left.

WHAT A BAND!!! AMAAAAZING guitar's constructions!

I guess I first heard them on 88.7 FM in Chicago. College Music Journal Rating,,,like the Rolling Stone should have been at least 4-Stars.
Grate song I love it 💜💜💜
best memories.........
Don't claim to understand her
I wonder what she's doing with me
Don't know what she does with the rest of her time
But she gives it to me for free
She gives me love
She gives me love
She never takes my money
But she always steals my time
She's the kind of a girl that if you gave her the world
She'd say it wasn't worth a dime
She gives me love
She gives me love
It's not easy to explain it
The effect she has on me
Make a dumb man talk and a blind man see
That sweet little mystery
She gives me love
She gives me love
She gives me love
She gives me love
First time I listen this... It's so amazing!

thnx for posting this is so good
Καταπληκτικό!
She gives meeeee looooveeeeeeeeeeeee
Awesome !!
Wow, haven't heard this in 30 years probably. You can hear how this influenced Britpop/rock in the 90s.
Love it 😍
great song !!!
Super. Still cool in 2021
can't wait to see these guys in manchester on 7th november. at the rugby lounge
Really should have been no1 for a month
best album cover ever?
Man, this is good shit.
buenisimos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
only the guys who jumped off the metal wagon understood this kind of music
I'll see you live in December
Así se le da a la batería!!!
uhhh yeah ... that'll do .. GODFATHERS !!! :D
I've read about comparisons to The Modern Lovers, Eddie and the Hot Rods, and bands like that, but I'm not sure about that either.
Why does this classic song have so little views on YT???
They supported The Stranglers in Folkestone. They got no response whatsoever. What a bunch of losers in Folkestone. The Godfathers had me giving it laldy on the spot and pissing everyone off. Brilliant stuff boys - aggression with a tambourine - NICE ONE!!

Incredible band did not become very famous because of its subject matter.. I think
TABS ANYONE?????????????????
Good band but the singer fucked us off at the Reading Festival in '87. He had on white trousers and was goading the crowd to try to hit him. How we tried, but to no avail. He kept saying , look, whiter than white. No one could hit him with any bottles or turfs!
Great noise, good look - but the lyrics were cliched.
nice piece but the guitar intro and main melody is the biggest plagiarism of all time, just listen to Hendrix's "Peace In Mississippi"....
Gonna check it out. Hey, all artists in all popular and folk forms are thieves and magpies, aren't they? In any case, the guitar solo on the drum break in this one is amazing, just sneaks up and totally murders it. I couldn't do it for love or money.
disagree...
aw4367 Yeah I didn't hear it either, but who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
Spot on. Total rip off.
Not the biggest plagiarism, Led Zeppelin own the word!
Horrible underrated!
Excellent! :-D
