Marine Girls - A Place In The Sun

[TheTrixieland]

Hey, indierocketmp3... we own the memories. Marine Girls were incomparable. Lovely people too!

[indierocketmp3]

Yes, Yes, Yes. God How I love Marine Girls. So Emotive and simple. It's like instant nostalgia.  Brings to mind memories I don't even own.

[RicardoDeForceTV]

Marine Girls - never off my music player. And this video is mint. As is the one for EBTG "On My Mind"

[imbusythankyou]

Love it. I need to do my homework on TT's origins, I had no idea this existed.

[musicislife1909]

awesome! you guys should give Rems Floating Chandelier a listen:)

[MegaCharlieCooper]

This was filmed in Brighton, I think.

[MsJohnnyMoped]

Thanks!

[Mandy86164]

They've got a last.fm page and they are on Wikipedia. Nice songs on YouTube too.

[MsJohnnyMoped]

Can anyone tell me something about Trixie's Big Red Motorbike? Marine Girl Jane Fox recorded with them after the MGs split up.

[propaganda7777]

omg love it

[Taisa0Naum]

lyrics anyone?



[nightliter]

Always feel like I need my sand bucket and shovel and beach towel and look for starfish.

Love these gals, had an lp of theirs once, great evocation of hanging out near the sea.

[MachinegunApe]

1st listen, very sweet.

[swilletts66]

I aint heard this for twenty odd years.

What was the album called?

I had this LP on one side of of a C90 and Tracey Thorne  - a distant shore on the other..........could prob have fitted both on one side .... ha.

I was 15....... emotional. best days of your life.

[tolgreen]

awesome...HAPPY

[trfrania]

does anyone have lyrics to this song? i can't find any in the net.

[Pinky39559]

As a Canadian , I have read and heard about Cherry Red Records and their roster in various imported British music magazines back in the 80s . The only artists from that label that I actually listened to on campus radio and CBC late night radio were Momus and Everything But The Girl ( formerly from Marine Girls ) . Thank you , Cherry Red , for giving me the chance to see artists I never thought I would get to hear in Canada .

[SixstringPlayR]

That is the thing about Indie music,not over played so it remains timeless in way.

[LISC998]

Amazing - great to see Alice again. Made me feel like a teenager again!

[spurious61]

You can get this mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[lifepod2036]

that was kind of nice.

[kukelekuu]

Am Dm Em

[smokeemonkee]

Sounds like the Passions with less production.

[tigerpantss]

what a dreamy band! dreamy video

[monkkey09]

I like it !!!!

[k7twenty2]

I just realized one of the rides in this theme park is the "Helter Skelter"

[smilingjacko90]

it really does sound new..

[akis723]

i just wonder if it wasn't for tracy thorn, how many people would know about marine girls. Just a thought

[Pootasium]

well.....no one i would imagine

love this song. its been years since i heared the albums so im doing 25 years of catching up

[pennydreadful666]

@akis723 I don't know who Tracy Thorn is :/

[akis723]

if you're not joking you have youtube to find out for yourself O.O

[maradeath]

this is beautiful. simple beauty.

[daretoflare]

how warm is the last line ? - all i want is a place in the sun, and you .

[6106284]

Imagine a sunny holiday

A little parasol cafe

Corner table for two

And that is me and you

In the second verse it's sun in a cloudless sky

And in the third it's a lamp lit little town

[jim7862]

Nice to see Brighton Pier, the one you see in the distance, burn't down......

[MoveOnSoulClub]

Way out with the lyrics Okiedokies. This is what she's really singing: Barefoot by the shore A drink with ice and two straws Sun in a clouded sky You grin as the girls by. Take a boat for a while You row and i lie back in style We'll reach the other side you say But we never get halfway When the evening comes around We'll stroll through a lovely little town Miles and miles from home Happy to be on our own

[okiedokies]

@MoveOnSoulClub

Yes, you are much closer; she really cuts her words and makes them unclear. If you have the actual songsheet then I cannot argue, but I can't really say your definitely right.

I think these lyrics should have been much clearer as they are high quality. Usually only poor lyrics are covered over.

I'll have to get the album and see the other lyrics if this is the standard.

[Pootasium]

@MoveOnSoulClub  think its cloudless isnt it??

[Souvlaki93]

beautiful !)

[1inmotion]

damn that ferris wheel is spinning fast

[roejogan8]

Kurt Cobain loved this band. I can fucking see why. What a top tune brahh.

[Kamenplav]

Sunny indeed. One of the most successful videos I've seen. <3

[okiedokies]

princecharlessex

The lyrics are very hard to make out and I can only hear only pieces, the first verse however goes

Imagine a sunny habour day

We could find some old cafe

We could order a table for two

Naturally its me and you

[princecharlessex]

thank you

[okiedokies]

Ok the 2, 3 and 4th versus sound like this (It is difficult to exactly get the words, but I think they are right) Then the guy showed drank liquid ice with straws under the velvet sky watching the girls go by Take a bird out for a ride do what I like in style when we reach the other side, you say hope we never end love this way When the evening comes around you sure would like a good time all the month of may you can treat me all the way

[princecharlessex]

Thank you so much okiedokies. Now i could play and sing this song with my guitar

[okiedokies]

@princecharlessex

I'll have to try to work out the rest then soon then, its very very difficult to hear at the end though. You'll have to put the song on you tube. I think there is some small alterations with the verses, such as the first verse I am now sure is

Imagine a sunny holiday

we could find some old cafe

call a table for two

naturally its me and you

[MoveOnSoulClub]

Full 3rd verse is:

Take a boat out for a while

You row and i lie back in style

We'll reach the other side you say

But we never get half way

[borealico]

Cool music, cool people....

[hammertoejoe]

Simply magnificent!!! Thanks for posting

[Tralfam1]

Simply lovely

[Ophelide]

♥

[Covox]

Lovely.

[princecharlessex]

I am french. Where i can find lyrics for this song.

[brokenrecordprayers]

i think im in love

[vancanman2]

That Ferris wheel sure is fast. You wouldn't catch me on it.

[FilTonks]

you mean you have been on it, it was too fast and you did get caught on it but you'd rather put the whole sordid experience behind you.

[mogus55]

oh my, that's Tracey Thorn, and this sounds absolutely like the Stereolab,i mean the oposite, only just less keyboards,less Farfisas and all that,pure Stereolab kind of vocals and structure,thanks a lot for post this

[777system777]

pure gold, tracey looks soo young!

[eggzbacon]

amazing summer tune =)

[olabogaa]

beauty

[DistortedDingo]

awesome vIdeo

[UsedCassetteTape]

This song sounds like sunshine :)

[Terryc1991]

Ignorant sods. This song is almost 30 years old and still sounds new.

[dropgod26]

@Terryc1991

this sounds like it could have been released yesterday, love it!

[depoetiser]

So simple and so great at the same time...

[libraquaricorn]

I adore this! I've never heard of this before today, accidentally stumbling over this video and now I've ordered the box set. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[mirbeau111]

i always thought this song sounded rather saddened..

[teenonator]

So, is this Morecombe, or where?

[sbor2020]

You're on the wrong coast there. This is Brighton.

What a perfect summer song.

[shakylegs]

I've got the Pillows & Prayers album, from way back when.

It's interesting that, along with a Marine Girls song appearing, there are also singles by both Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt. And, even before they formed EBTG, there's a sweet duet by Tracey and Ben.

[roytherobot]

I love this song!

[WereSoDoomed]

It's people like you, that make people like me, like people like you. The singer sounds depressed, now i'm depressed! What a depressing song....

[sbor2020]

You must be happy now WereSoDoomed!

[WereSoDoomed]

If this song made me any happier, I would choke myself to death.

[nicck]

It's just relaxing.

If you want depressing go and listen to joy division!

[botulismprick]

shut up retard go listen to creed LOLZ

[teenonator]

Too bad you don't have irony where you live. Can you get some online?

[machiav3ll3]

mouahahahahahahahha

well said !

:P

[Tilly220]

Got this album somewhere in the back of my wardrobe-treasured along with the EBTG albums .

[jjj7477]

the sound track of my sixth form years....aah.

[LiquidKulak]

Is that bloke escorting the Marine Girls the saxophonist Timothy Charles Hall?

[NewWaver80014]

I believe it is indeed.

Great to see Tracey enjoying herself on the rides. And the Foxes were definitely fashion trendsetters. Too bad Gina had split by this point.

What the Marine Girls lacked in ability, they more than made up for with heart and passion.

[elcraneodemarlon]

wow nice cherry red
