Lyrics: Good times for a change. See, the luck I've had can make a good man turn bad, So please, please, please, let me, let me, let me let me get what I want, this time. Haven't had a dream in a long time. See, the life I've had can make a good man bad. So, for once in my life let me get what I want. Lord knows it would be the first time. Lord knows it would be the first time.
really dont know what is the main theme on this song
but i really think anybody who had violence as a part of his life,could really appreciate this song as deep as it shows, just like in "this is england" , fits in like a glove
Good times for a change See, the luck I've had Can make a good man turn bad So please please please Let me, let me, let me Let me get what I want this time Haven't had a dream in a long time See, the life I've had Can make a good man bad So for once in my life Let me get what I want Lord knows it would be the first time Lord knows it would be the first time
Im using this as a backing song for my drama exam tomorrow set in the plague time, if this song doesnt move the audience then i dont know what will!! : )
This makes me think of my years as a kid, visiting my grandparents and kin in Gothemburg, climbing the cliffs and looking out the ocean, hearing the seagals do their annoying yet sentimental sound. The Innocent days <3
As much as i love The Smiths, this track has never sounded any good by them. Clayhill managed to capture the melancholy beauty of it. The lyrics fit far better with the Clayhill composition than The Smiths original one. Hate to say it, but Clayhill perform this much much better...!
Priscus----Songs do actually belong to an artist,hence copyright!!!! But you're quite right,they do get covered and have different arrangements...With permission these are released..But you'll get some that ya like and others ya hate...I think this is a good cover,i also like the version by Muse....
Right, this is no word of a lie, but I have literally listened to this song approximately 10 times since discovering it. Beautiful, astounding, lovely!
Gavin Clark is just awesome, as is this song and version. The Smiths original was the most influential song of my life! Though the lyrics are simple, they are painfully poignant. I massively urge anyone who likes this version to find Gavin Clark's first band "Sunhouse," and listen to their debut album "Crazy on the Weekend," It's just class. The song "Swing Low," is right up there with "Please, Please...,"
it is impossible to listen to this version and not be moved. Sure turned me inside out the first time i listened to this, and every time since. It is one of the best covers i have ever heard. It is simply beautiful.
@cowgirlcochise I don't its possible to listen to pretty much every version of this song and not be moved. Its just such a wonderfuly bittersweet song. Gets me every time,
@MrBrown09 - if you said what you commented to me in person about this cover being better than the original, i would slap the taste outta your mouth. This cover is AWFUL and certainly not remotely close to even being mentioned in the same sentence as The Smiths version. I am appauled by your ignorance and simple mindedness. You must be very young and legally deaf?
I didn't know Nick Drake was alive to cover the Smiths! But seriously, this is OK but doesn't touch the original. It's not even fair to compare Smiths covers to the originals.
can someone name afew of the chords that work in this song with capo 2nd? ill chart it all out if someone can get me started and guide me in the right direction, the smiths chords dont work for this version
I believed after hearing what Ryan Adam's done with Wonderwall that a another cover could/would be never replicated with such poignant beauty; oh how wrong was I.
to anyone who thinks this cover is pish, search for the ending to the film 'this is england', where this song is used in the movie. it really puts the song into context.
i adore this cover... it's amazing. the end of this is england is fucking emotional like.
i've got a cover up of this song as well, one that i done.. it's nothing like as good as this. but if anyone wants to come and watch it, maybe rate it and say hi to me, you're more than welcome!
overwrought? thats such a cynical comment .This is in the same Gavin Clarke laconic style he's been singing in for years without any whoreing to mainsteam recognition. I believe Clayhills sound matches beautifully with this song and really brings forth the emotion of it. a subtle power through beauty..I can't fault it.
the whole point of a cover is to make it different, this is why i prefer the muse version, this one is good and but the muse one is better, then the smiths one is awsome cuz its the original
Isn't it great in youtube, that you actually can stumble across NEW things you never heard or saw before? I did give this a shot (random related video to some other random video) but it didn't shoot me back the right way.
Was actually first thing that came on my mind while watching that. Like you see, if someone said AWESOME for this song you would agree, BORING is not allowed as it differs from general mood of this song doesn't it.
This cover is a lot more depressing than the other ones. I love it!

All the people who are getting upset about this:
1) Songs don't 'belong' to an artist. They get covered and reinterpreted - that's what happens. Live with it.
2) This is a very good cover of the song. It's not doing any disrespect to the Smiths, it's just different. This is a good thing.
