[Heelissrogue]

@JakeyM95 nah, I don't like this song, go on my channel and look at the bands I listen to, am I a chav?

[calumboo]

@IndianaJoel93 doesn't matter you're subscribed to rebecca black, you fail at life.

[IndianaJoel93]

@calumboo yeah as a joke :S

[dedew19]

what in the world when this great song just got 198.368 watched!

[joncle46]

Clare graves has a model for adaptive intelligence...the bio psycho social system of adaptive intelligence.

This song accurately reflects the end of blue as people are beginning to realise they have been Sacrificing self for reward to come through obedience to rightful authority in purposeful Way....if you feel this way it's time to shift up to Orange!

See spiral dynamics on wikipedia

[alzo376]

top quality bike rideing song

[omgomg5475]

how can this only have under 200k views lol its a quality hit. lyrics fit the melody perfectly and the meaning is great

[tylergirl1970]

Can hear the Duran Duran influence for sure....

[goalcrazyjack]

Roskimo, what the fuck are you talking about earthy, lived a life of its own, our accents just quality and better than whiney scouse accents

[giocastagno]

FANTASTIC TUNE!!

Sounds so much like old school Indie and brings back some great memories...

LOVIN IT!

[BekiHeffron]

Makes me proud to be from Sheffield :'D

[swntrancex]

Don't you just love our accent.. Sheffield one of the few cities with its own accent.

[cribsstewart]

does his head keep getting bigger?

[tsn85]

Cannot say 'crust' now without doing it in a Yorkshire accent:L

[roskimo]

Love this song. Sums up frustrated dreams. I like the nice symbolism of the missed bus at the end of the video.

And, if there's one other accent I would like to have other than my own (Liverpool), it would be a Sheffield one. It sounds so earthy, like it's lived a life all of its own, no matter how old the speaker.

[apotiximenoi]

great, but it absolutely sounds like duran duran

[dredg97]

8 peoples aren't the champion of the world =)

[LaurenBltrn]

Simplemente ser como los demás ♪

[SpikeFancier]

Everyone bow to down to the Reverend!

[omgomg5475]

i would say... one of the best songs ive found this year. lyrics describes normal life perfectly if you dont make conscious choices, and on top of that its a tune

[wendyjo333]

Haircut 100 comes to mind ??? Boy meets girl

Brill tune tho !

[AmyMuffin]

I remember loving this when it first came out about 4 years ago (!!) and it's still great!

[tldm2k8]

john (lead singer) went out with my auntie :D

[TheWillMB]

so this has 173,000 views, whilst Swagger Jagger, Beat of My Drum and Friday all have in excess of a million. what the fuck is happening to life.

[brandinator22]

@TheWillMB

who cares? we all know mainstream music is shit and that most people today have a shitty taste in music. get over it, it really doesn't matter how many views this video has

[Yalito12]

@brandinator22 Hipster kitty

[brandinator22]

@Yalito12

lol

[CabLuigi]

@brandinator22 ...but this music is mainstream? Ironyyyyy

[brandinator22]

@CabLuigi

What?

[JoeyDPro2009]

@TheWillMB Whats Happening To Rock And Roll, GET IT BACK IN THE CHARTS!!! WE DON'T WANT TO BE TORTURED BY RIZZLE KICKS, FLO RIDA AND ALL SHIT BORING CHAVVY SHIT!

[superchav911]

i loooooove this video " the closest he got to China was a week in Canvasan" :'-)

[Treppe999]

@superchav911

Camber Sands ;)

[Treppe999]

I heard this for the first time on Radio 1 a few days ago and haven't stopped listening to it since

'If you're not living on the edge, you take up too much room' is a genius lyric

[FutureWarhead]

anyone else thinks he looks like Dylan Moran in the pub?

[TheiaSezunmi]

SO awesome! I love this Band!

[CraftedGenius]

Why so fews!?

[blueboi1987]

Only 154k views? Shocking!

[ReinventingTheWorlds]

@blueboi1987 quite a few versions of it have been copyrighted by EMI (?) so they could have had millions, but got banned.

[FutureWarhead]

Randomly found this song on the NME channel and haven't stopped listening to it since

[TheCaptainShepard]

Saw them live supporting Kasabian back in 2009, top live.

[OrbitingSpaceCow]

Is it weird that I think he looks best when dressed as the butcher?! =/ quality tunage

[omgomg5475]

just when i thought i wouldn't find any new decent tracks i hadn't heard before this year... awesome

[lewiscampbell59]

someone needs to make a lyrics video for this

[adnanbayern]

Top Gear's seriously cool driving music brought me here

[rb3883]

Builds up nicely, some poignant lines, quality track.

[megmo1571]

@12345MISSalice I was thinking exactly the same thing! I love how they say "money"

[DaDa2Phlux]

Nice proper pint ! ;-)

[haileysvomit]

first class tune............

[AimeeKayleighTia]

This is the definition of amazing music. Fact.

[BronyOhYehh]

I. LOVE. THIS. SONG.

that is all.

[cill1020]

6 people could never have been the heavywieght champion of the world

[Diazor]

6 people fail, song just ownz. i dont like you dislikers. i feel offended

[OrbitingSpaceCow]

I love this song! =) as a nothern girl can do nowt but appreciate the accent, but I reckon a Bruce Lee wannabe wandering round Manor Top would be pretty awesome ;)

[GoreDepeche]

Duran Duran are better.

[ephemeralprotagonist]

This song is such an insightful philosophy showing that narrow divide between aspiration and cold reality and how "being like everybody else" is not such a good thing afterall. The video's use of grey and rain is clever.

Seeing this has made me I'm still single with no real commitments. i should ditch the job, more abroad, do something more worthwhile and a better life will follow.

[PadawanDJ]

@ephemeralprotagonist Awesome comment. This video should be derpressing, but if anything it kicks me into doing something about my life. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of it afterall.

[technokid109]

just watched it my 100 th time wow 

[blackjcw]

another brilliant band from Sheffield along with Artic Monkeys and Millburn - infact all these bands are very good friends

[blackjcw]

another brilliant band from Sheffield along with Artic Monkeys and Millburn - infact all these bands are very good friends 

[bonniegrrl]

LOVE IT!! !

[MrBostockOAFC]

quality song!

[gwarnling]

2 mins 20 sums up my life in the army :-)

[kamblethewaterfall]

not a famous song. BUT THAT İS WHAT İ LİKE ABOUT İT!!!

[swfc13]

my new favourite song.

[littleandyaxon]

A Sheffield accent goes sooooooo well with indie music.

[Wickerrman]

@littleandyaxon sheffield accent is definitely the best accent in music imo :D from a born and bred sheffielder

[RaZinanA]

@littleandyaxon Coudln't agree more mate, arctic monkeys too

[soldat182]

@littleandyaxon It's not really indie though is it mate seeing as this is on the the PIAS channel. It's just new wave revival..

[WuzzlePuppet]

I love how these guys don't try to sound American. Go them!!

[GlenMclovin]

5 people only became Lightweight champions of the world :P

[TheChoice264]

@GlenMclovin Lightweight is where its at now son. Heavyweights are the joke and pimple on the ass of the sport.

[MrSophii]

This makes me proud to be from Sheffield.

[swfc13]

it's funny that this has probably been listened to all over the world yet only people from Sheffield know what the Manor Top is 1:12

[negritosmom]

Yep, they grew up listening to Duran Duran. Nice job.

[cdbils001]

5 people were like everybody else

[DaftSwank]

Awesome tune, great melody. This band's being compared to Duran and I dig that.

[Nyctohylophobia]

Definitely Duran Duran-inspired.

[curtisjones123]

coulda woulda shoulda

[TheCaptainShepard]

@childreninneed2010 Why would I do that? They're shit, stop posting these comments and getting your mates to like them. Fuck sake.

[euanrocks]

I remember I went to see Kasabian and this lot were supporting them and they up staged them!

[lockergr]

Is there some alternate version with slightly different lyrics, or has my mind created this odd second version by repeatedly singing the wrong thing? Also, what are some of their other best tunes? Would like to get some more of their music as I love Jon's voice.

[pobbais1]

@lockergr there are a couple of alternate versions where he edits the "it's boring, it's boring..." bit :)

and the whole album (The State of Things) is pure epic. As is the second (French Kiss in the Chaos).

My personal faves are What the Milkman Saw, Bandits, Silence is Talking and Hard Times for Dreamers :)

[TheRHINOS1]

Quality Yorkshire sounds!

[raz0rx]

I need to get high and go running!

[ohmygiddygawsh]

deserves more views....

[NuggetLuver4Ever]

His voice reminds me of Smash Mouth :P

[issu999]

jaw of the gods

[TheDoUgLaS783]

ironikly i listen 2 thi in the car 2 work or anywhere

[giantguy1321]

Epic song. Says what a lot of people feel, but don't bother to say themselves. Life is shit!! Your born, you learn, you grow, get a job, pay tax, get married, have kids and die (Thats the considered ideal anyway). People who get pissed every weekend and have two or three holidays a year do it to hold off their boring lives for an few hours, days or weeks. Try to get out and society says "No certificate, no diploma, no chance". So put up with it because theres nothing better for you.

[ninnyfishbub]

okay that guy's kinda scary...
