[shurekun]

hoRrOrS? yEaH, EXCeLeNt ChoiCe...

[kwanza6669]

all the talking in this song reminds me of No Love Lost by Joy Division (or Warsaw)... I LOVE IT :)

[paulpetroleum]

Sounds like Exquisite Corpse by Bauhaus too, similar themes, and title



[rachelstartsfires]

me gusta

[MrGutley]

And to think Pavement used to get stick for their obvious debt to early 80's Fall.

[Stabbedwithafork]

awesome ! Mighty Boosh introduced me to these

[mysoncool42]

this sounds like a homage to the Fall

[ybrik222]

@mysoncool42

Reminds me more of Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop".

[FilthyPopX]

Only just got into the horrors mainly coz of the mighty booosh. And their amazing i love them. At first it was their image that got me interestedbut,they are great musicans. Also who is the one speaking?

[MelissaSaurus95]

@FilthyPopX tom :)

[LeHorreurDesPetites]

sorry, my english is CRAP

[TimeWarz]

Only version that I can listen to. :)

[allergictopop095]

[TheHunty2010]

is the second part symbolic of what happens here?

[museismymusex]

[MIYAVISCRAZYFERRET]

[PropanePenny]

i wanted them to do some old stuff when i saw them support placebo, especially this song. but they only did their new album :(

[moshcosh]

I <3 the picture at 1:04 !!

Oh, and the song is really Excellent.

[162133740]

excellent choice watching this!

[paulharriott]

Nicely put together. Top stuff for an awesome band. Thankyou ;-p

[xonecutepiex]

what kind of english is he speaking?

(I'm not stupid, it's just that my native language is not english.)

[Chameleonardodavinci]

British english?

[monkeygoesbananas]

...are there different dialects in english?

[Chameleonardodavinci]

Yeah there are plenty,there's toff,geordie,londoner,glaswegi­an,welsh,irish,american,texan.­..Too many to be listed,really.

[monkeygoesbananas]

texan is separate from american? there are not enough differences in the way the language is spoken in the different states for there to be dialects, in my opinion.

[Chameleonardodavinci]

I thought if you counted the rootin' tootin' and y'alls and all that,but ok.

[phiastardust]

there are many local vernacular variations within each language, same goes for english.

[xonecutepiex]

thanks

[alleycatgholston]

well..there technically isnt any such thing as a 'kind of english". its just english! lol

[xonecutepiex]

I meant what kind of accent is he speaking..

[iloveOnision]

@xonecutepiex sounds like a british accent ?

[ImaWatchAVideo]

[SanatyAssassin]

excellent song! :D

[MusicFairy93]

who does the talking bits on this song, its not faris is it?

[inbreadsnail4]

its rhys the keyboard player

[piyarotter]

naw, i'm pretty sure it's tom, the synth/bass player.

[antonia310]

i think its rhys actually.

sounds like his voice

[piyarotter]

nope, it's tom.

i thought it was rhys at first too but it's not him.

he did the alternate version though.

[antonia310]

haha.

thats odd

they sound awfully alike. :D

probably because theyre all from london :D

[piyarotter]

yeah haha.

joe, tom and rhys all kind of sound alike.

i didn't know people from london have particular speaking styles lol.

[antonia310]

Yeah! they speak like londoners.

where as glasgow people speak glasweigen

(:

[piyarotter]

lol, that's cool. :]

josh has a cool speaking style too, it's unique (well to me haha).

[drjekyllsisterhyde]

Different types of London accents too though!

[kiera95]

your flippin' genius for putting this up :)

i am in love with the horrors.

how amazing is this, i went to see gary numan and my dads friend took us in round the back, cause he worked at the venue and my dads firend knows the horrors, and joe ( coffin joe, drummer) was with him, so i stood right next to him all night watching gary numan!

i was almost wetting my pants!

amazing!!!!!

:D

thanks again for putting this up.

[FilthyPopX]

@kiera95 wow!!!IloveCoffinJoe

[exaggeratedhandshake]

who's the one talking? i swear its not faris?

amazing song btw (:

[PunkRockaMama]

It's deffo not Faris. I'm sure I heard somewhere it was Rhys. But then I heard it was Tomethy.

It's one of the two.

I'm pretty sure it's Rhys.

[ElectroxXxBoosh]

morgan!!!!

[teebirdd]

this is my absolute favourite song.

the lyrics are amazing!

your my hero for putting this up !

[palley92]

What are "tastebuds"???

Sorry,I'm not English and I had a hard time understanding this song without subtitles :)

[strungouteyes]

tastebuds are the bits on your tongue that let you taste food.

[palley92]

ok thank you

[angryglare]

what would i give to look like them!!!

so perfectly skinny!!!

:D

luvsxxx

sophie

[XxMwahxXJade4russ]

Rip morgan!

[TimeWarz]

Excellent Band! :]

[kipthebooty]

Omg! You typed all the words!?!?

Thank you....my hero.

[Porcupunk]

"HIS TASTEBUDS!"

Lol, i love faarrriss :)

[soodleb]

haha good one

[SanatyAssassin]

i just simply ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it!!! the lyrics are profound i really feel bad for morgan! haha but he does make an excellent choice hahah

♥ the horrors

[wastedlittledj67]

"Approaching the train tracks, he sighs, lays straight across the line ... and shuts his eyes"

Fantastic!

So many times I have felt that way

[ilikethesmellofsand]

Morgan is a man??

so confused...

[neeerv]

i have to say, this song is fucking amazing.

Tom's voice just gives it that eerie feel to it.

fantastic.

[Anthead]

In this version it's Tomethy,and in the EP too. Spider Webb does the 'No,you can't borrow my glasses.'Bits.

[mustofbeenadream123]

whers that in the song???????

[MissEyeliner92]

Its in the live version with Spider singing

[boulalax3]

Where can I find this version?

[boulalax3]

In this version it sounds like Tom.

But the EP version, it sounds like Spider.

[GregoryKimberleyMoss]

I love this song sooooo much!!

The lyrics are amazing!!

The Horrors rock my socks =]

[235calipso235]

its tomethy, im 100% sure, they said so in an interview.

[cocoamashedpotatoes]

I'm going to be individual now and instead of arguing about who is speaking in the background i'm merely going to compliment the song. HORRORS AND THIS SONG ARE THE BEST!!!

[asianhooker123]

ok now tht i think about it

tht is Tomethy Furse

[slobunny]

I think it sounds like rhys, he has a realy clear voice.... its nice! Mixes with Farises voice well!

[joellen15]

This is most definately Tomethy Furse saying the poem since this is the Strange House Version. The band has said numerous times that the Strange House version is Tomethy Furse

[drumkitdude777]

this version is rhys (spider webb) and the other version is tomethy. just relized that copare evrybody.

[adambenning12345]

great, but very depressing. lol

[asianhooker123]

ya thts spider webb, and listen at 1:29-1:31 i can hear wut sounds like Joshua's laugh!

:D

[mlindsaylonton]

thats defenitly spider webb, isn't it?

[sugarcoatedtrashcan]

Shit That Song Really Tugs Your Heart Strings...Jees, Ive Like Always Loved That Song But Ive Only Just Taken In All The Lyrics.

They Are Truelly Fabulouse Lyrics:)

XOX

[DramaQueenBee]

is that spider??? he has a wonderful voice anyway...

[thebigfatyoyo]

ye i'm sure thats tomethy.

it's strange you guys thought it was spider webb at first because i thought it was coffin joe but "i wouldn't whant to question your decision" lol

[lunalestrange]

Is tom the guy of the voice?? I though it was spider

[gerardandbrendan]

wowies that last note goes right through you like the train does i guess

xxx

[WerewolfMorgue]

God. I love those last lines.

[beccaxatthedisco]

as do i :]

best part of the song

along with the "Morgan wishes his family dead"

[kaeri95]

la cancion esta genial.muy bien the horrors

[nnaannaa999]

me too I live in Poland, and there isnt any other chance to buy Strange House including internet.

[shik2temari]

i believe Tomethy Furse could talk that fast

[beccaxatthedisco]

Is it Tomenthy?

I thought it was Spider Webb :/

lol

[drumkitdude777]

dude it was rhys (spider webb)

[PsychedelicGothDoom]

@beccaxatthedisco

its coffin joe who is narrating.

[LeHorreurDesPetites]

@shik2temari

They said that is Tom who talk O:

[kwanza6669]

@LeHorreurDesPetites i thought it was Rhys, it sounds like him.

[shik2temari]

i cant believe Tomethy Furse could talk that fast

[NickDrakeVirtuoso]

this is weird...i've got this song, but the "story" lyrics are totally different. good song though.

[MCRCUBICLES]

what album is it from? i just got strange house but its not on their

[TimeToRoll]

It's on Strange House.

[drumkitdude777]

it's on the EP not Strange House

[adambenning12345]

it is on Strange House i'm looking at the cover now.

[drumkitdude777]

o my mistake

[adambenning12345]

lol cool.

[monikewa]

in poland. basically, there's almost no demand for such music in my country

anyway, I've been to London and I've bought the album, so it's way better now;)

[mytragicalhonesty]

poor you! I know exactly how it is!! Believe me!

Hope it'll come to you soon:)

[monikewa]

god bless you for this. strange house isn't published in my country so you saved my life:P

[kermitMCFC]

wow, where do you live?
