im completely addicted to this song....the poetry, the music, the vid...absolutely beautiful....i love the " i dont believe in any ol' jesus...." part....so very true...
The song was actually wrote about a homeless man called rocky that lived near the bands estate, they saw him wrapped up with another homeless lady lying in some back alley, hence the name rocky took a lover, class song in fairness
This song is the song of the celtic tiger! It's been on so many ads and programs since Ireland took off. The sound of it defines it all. Especially Dublin.
I'V Been loving bellx for sometime now.They pierce holes in the heart and send the lost souls searching.keep chasing your dreams lads..cant wait to see yous play in nyork soooooon.,ray_ireland/nyork
i was fckin lookin 4 this song everywhere ledg song exellent 4 a irish band go on ye irish....i heard this song at a show i was at nd i lked it so mch mii dad rang da director (who he knew lol) nd asked him wat its called
their music is absolutely brilliant, love the often bizarre lyrics as well! and yes it's very true, the majority of people listen to crappy music and not the brilliant music of bell x-1 and the frames! even though I'm not Irish, I love Irish music and Ireland, in 4 years I'll be moving to Ireland :D
couldnt agree more more mate althogh my pride in being irish rarely sways when it does its the songwritin of people like bell x1 damien rice and christy moore who reafirm it
I love your song and i love your video... brought the 7" yesterday. I don't believe in any old Jesus, if there was God then why doesn't everyone know your name? I'm sure they will do soon, you're a fantastic band and you will go far!
This band are just amazing - why in Gods name have they not made it big? Each and every song is AWESOME and original...LOVE IT. (Irish love)
