Haven't heard this one in eons. Love this wicked and totally indecipherable lyrics. There was an epic live version from '75 on youtube, but I can't find it anywhere now.
Fantastic song! I remember seeing Steve and CR performing this at the Hammersmith Odeon back in 1975/6? The atmosphere was incredible, this song takes me way back.....
@JusticeDim ah, well, you cant. thats the thing.... all you have to know is that it moves you deeply... in my darkest hours i always play this...and cavaliers............
This song was absolutely perfect for its time, a dead set bullseye hit. The lyrics, the tune, the symphonic and choral background are all of that era. Thanks for the great memories.
Oh my God, that was good, I'd love to swear out loud and say F*** that was good. The additional choral piece just give it an edge that makes this song last. This is one track I don't think I will get tired listening too.
I understood this at 16, then i lost it when i grew up. We went to see him a couple of years ago, and were transported back 30 years, I understood it again, was laid waste, and i have now got this song back. Just don't ask me to explain it to anyone else!

actuly this song dous nothing it actuly suxs but thats a thing that makes this song the best thare is i realy doon't know what it is mayby its bicous of the voice or mayby its bicous the simphony is gr8 i realy doont know why this is the song every 1 needs to hear
@geligniteandlilies The band was mentioned in an episode of Days Like These, which is a British remake of That '760s Show. Anglogirl1 has uploaded some episodes.
this song opened my eyes to music as an art form, b-side of come up and see me (make me smile), i was about 7 years old. its as good today as it was then.
i know all the die hard cockney rebel fans will hate me for that, but i'd wish there was a proper recording of jonathan rhys-meyers version from velver goldmine
I LOVE this song! It's amazing,I don't know why...I think it's Since i saw "velvet goldmine";Jonhathan Rhis Meyer's version is great!!This melody is surrealist ?isn't it???
My brother is named after this song.
