[Kinokiddo]

OMG, the slap on Jus's face. Makeup bint went OTT.

[shackbhoy]

Good song , always liked them but the first album's a classic (the one from about 85 ! )

[delandreese]

Noticed they missed a verse and chorus before the middle 8.. Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there.. the marshians could land in the car park and no one would care closed circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same movies every day while the stars of these films neither die nor get killed just survive constant action replay..

[nickbaldeagle01]

@delandreese martians

[TAKENDIL]

Awesome track

[Redbrendy36]

Unreal tune... Terrible attempt at miming along though!!!

[pattipie100]

I've grown to really enjoy this one.......Thanks Mr. .....wow, enjoyed the wonderful book...Do you look like dad??? I'm so proud of you, but not surpised :) :) :) Look forward to the book of you. A happy Viking cares of you :)

[jockstewart251]

@pattipie100 \ love this song and looked at for my daughter to cover, but intrigued by the "happy Viking" bit...son o mine is a Vike of two years, and now I've been drawn in, I would be pleased to converse!

[brianofoz]

Wonderful lyrics as relevant today as it was in 1989.

[Mrrgod2]

Love to sing  along to the Chorus its amazing with all our advancements in Technology and Medicine and yet this Song still Has Relevance to this very Day

[PeterFLOYDIAN]

This one of these songs that will always linger.

First of all, the musical level is very high! And second (but not the least) the lyrics are something that one cannot walk around. It is sooooo true!

All the respect.

[kimosabelarry]

Looking forward to seeing Justin with The Ryan Quigley Big Band and Orchestra - a tribute to The Beatles - at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Fri 8th October 2010.

Justin, Carol Kidd, Jacqui Dankworth, Julie Fowlis and a whole load of other guests and full string section - gonna be awesome! In aid of Yorkhill Children's Hospital

[greenstatus2007]

@kimosabelarry

Damn...would love to be going to the show tonight.

[ryaniomitch]

@kimosabelarry i was supposed to be in that singing but i had a french exchange trip :(

[pattipie100]

Saved to a playlist...very nice :) :) :) Thanks :) I really like it alot.

[morriss92]

I called out to them in amsterdam paradiso in 92 "play nothing ever happens" and the singer said, it does!!! What a great band!

[VivaElVodka]

Grandísima canción, imposible explicar todo lo que significa para mí

[1Natasya]

a true beauty!

[grooveassociate]

great song...........

[DocBrewster]

What happened to the original videos on You Tube? Copyright bastards?

[kellyjane1888]

classic song and lyrics ..

[ambrose100000]

is it just me or is there a classic case of top of the pops with singers not singing. he has no mic on his shirt or in front of him or the rest of the band. Define greatness, the lyrics of this song with Del Amirt singing

[johnkehr95]

does anybody remember this was in a album gave away by the sun or the daily record? the album was called scottish gold or something

[GrantMeSerenity1971]

Aaaah those lyrics...

[Wysie85]

Great song. 'and american business snap up van goghs for the price of a hospital wing'. probably one of the best lines ever

[SparkyGerbil]

Mr Justin Currie = Genius:)

[DollSteakFrenchie]

justin currie is still a lyrical genius, and still absolutely gorgeous <3

[dontpanicblink]

justin currie great musician

[blade0954]

class music

[yetanotherguitarist]

Back in the days when top of the pops wouldnt let someone perform unless they mimed. I remember lots of artists took the piss with it so they stopped it

[LaFarfalla246]

I've always liked Del Amitri & one of my favourite songs by them is 'Be My Downfall'. I thought they wrote good lyrics & turned out some good songs & I also think they were very under-rated. They did kind of make it in the States which is a hard market to break. Watching this video though makes me laugh a bit because it makes me think of my sister & the massive crush she had on Justin Currie at the time. She's now married with 2 children but I still like to kid her on about it from time to time.

[GriefTourist]

pass me the razor

[Malifatcat]

Just to clarify, I was in the audience for this and they actually sung it live but the single was over dubbed for the actual TV broadcast.

[espanolporaplicacion]

a good lookin' man

[Wainy16]

People seem shocked that there was miming on Top of the Pops! That's why it became such an unwatchable joke before dying on it's arse!!!

[boonersalmon]

what a true classic, makes me sad to think the message is about human implosion and so many dont seem to care

[radiocurefreak]

I completely agree with boonersalmon's comment regarding this song.

This song (and the whole album for that matter) accompanied many a night of heavy drinking, debate and "righting the wrongs" of society...Ahhh, the life of a student studying sociology at university in the early '90s *lol*.

[ttaammiiss]

nope , del amitri sung the scottish football teams song tho , it was called dont come home too soon , it was for world cup 98 :)

[DaShankill08]

SMASHING SONG GREAT LYRICS

[clottoyup]

lip sync lol. oh well, still a great song.

[DaveWBedford]

Wasnt this the Scotch national anthem for their world cup (in the days when they qualified for anything)?

[ArseBEAST]

no, Dave

[MrXenophobe]

No Dave. It was " Don't come home too soon "

[itstoogoodtopassby]

amazing lyrics i was reminded of this song my a guy busking he said it was his fav

[hatherwoodsmed]

fucking miming,

ahh well me mate mark plays drums for this band, ha,

[ABittenfeld]

Where is his microphone??

[neptuna1000]
