  • this song reminds me of my father he past away 5 years ago, the 4 of us were his favourite band i know all there songs word for word from him listning to them when i was a child :) good memories

  • Sometimes not having a great voice actually makes the song that much better and sincere. This is a wonderful band and this song...it's just great.

  • This song has a crazy place in my brain, i know it was very significant to my brain but i dont know why. I think it could be the very first song i ever heard, theres something about it that makes me feel werid like i should remember something.

    Was it used in any old movies or anywhere else?

  • A group of people all surprised me and broke into song with this when I was about 14 yrs old and walked into a chip shop!! I'd never heard it until then and I bought it immediately and it's such a memory-evoker for me. Thanks for that ;'0)) - Mary

  • Hello pharxy76

    I have to admit I am very impressed with the quality of your videos here on youtube.

    They are certainly a pleasure to watch as I do enjoy them.

    I am sure there is many others who also feel the same about your videos.

  • great song

  • such a good song!

  • I really really wish this song didn't hit so close to home right now. I miss you very much Mary.

  • wow i didnt know this band were irish and little known. i thought with a song like this they were american and huge in the charts. guess ya learn something new everyday

  • Had this on a great tape of a-z of irish rock. Got nicked on me, anyone know if it was ever released again. Seems impossible to find, top tracks on it as well.

  • i think i have the same mix tape! does yours by any chance have the frank and walters, the frames, or the divine comedy on it?

  • Yeah - never stopped singing what words i could make out and remember from this song since i first heard it about 15 years ago. Finally !!! All the lyrics! Could be doing with another verse though - it's too good to be over at 3.22.

    Always wondered why i never heard more from these guys

    I've also listened to and read the lyrics of 'Baby Jesus'. I'm not sure i understand it. Would someone please explain it to me. Pharxy?

    Cheers

  • i wouldnt have a clue what it means ! but im gonna put baby jesus on Youtube...hope no-one has beat me to it! thanks for your brilliant comment..regards pharxy

    ve been looking for this on utube for ages! Cheers!

  • Same here!

  • Nice one , this is the band that should have been the next huge thing out of ireland, was looking for them for ages on youtube, keep them coming. Top notch music brings back amazing memories of good times

  • Man, how this band never made it big on the international stage has always been a mystery to me. They were/are fantastic. Their first album Songs For The Tempted is a classic and even beat U2's Rattle And Hum for album of the year in Ireland in 89.

  • top quality song and group

  • It's shit, but I love it!
