[157moyroad]

The band Oasis could never be! Fuck you Noel and you shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite head brother!!

[ShaiyaStudios]

Can't believe I bought this shite back in 1997. But I was a college kid going my Britpop phase.

i want my own north country boy..........x

[bohsblur]

Brilliant to see inspiral carpets have reformed.

now i have my two favourite bands back.

[TomWHL]

this song is new to me and i think it´s awesome! indie country music. brilliant!

[Kallytom]

One of the few songs that cheers me up

[jaytimmo1]

why is it just petty fucken arguments all the time,if you dont like the charlatons why you even on here you fucken plumbs....

[MattTheProducer]

@jaytimmo1 did you get that "you fucking plumbs" remark from Spaced? Simon Pegg says it... just wondering... Why do I really care? Don't know. No life i guess... sigh...

[ilovepinkfloydyay]

@MattTheProducer I <3 Spaced.

[Underground906]

Corny lyrics in places. Fake badboy dickhead singer who looks like he's had a Chelsea smile and a bit of a nob in the video. Weak musically with that student level indie crap, apart for the guitar bit. . Only good band from here were the Roses and the Smiths. Only great tune from this band was one to another. That had edge.

[lindyblu99]

This song is superb...still beats any music today...Hands Down xx

[thenorthcountryboy]

still stands up today.big baggy manc take on music.excelente.

[dazmalski]

tellin stories saved my life - i want to be a sucker

[tillyflip77]

how cute is he great song too old school indie wish it was back like this tillflip77

[tokobayashiify]

great guitar, great composition

[elephantsmemoryband]

Quite possibly the best song of all time.

[delboy20091]

First cd i ever bought of em then the tellin stories album,still amazing now .. 1 of the best bands.

[TheSaoirse777]

this was when there was an indie scene in britain.

Crimen Sollicitationis

[stevenmcg69]

tune. but how bad did he wanna be in oasis

[liambrown0]

@stevenmcg69 other way round mate

[stevenmcg69]

@liambrown0 na liam wanted to be lennon just look at the guy plus oasis will be listend to for the nex 50 years atlest were as only a few will remember these guys

[gomezgang1]

@stevenmcg69 most overrated band ever easily forgetable singer can't sing for a start :)

[gomezgang1]

@stevenmcg69 most overrated band ever easily forgetable singer can't sing for a start :) thats oasis i am talking about :)

[gomezgang1]

@stevenmcg69 are you having a laugh liam gallagher had to go for singing lessons and he still can@t sing :)

[stevenmcg69]

@gomezgang1 liam in his day was a good singer but now sounds like a burst bawbag

[gomezgang1]

@stevenmcg69 joking apart i will be honest oasis 1st album was not bad the 2nd was good but after that just complete dross :) and bands like the beatles , the sex pistols and the stone roses will be remembered 50 years after their time because their music was groundbreaking and defined an era unlike oasis :)

[kindahottish]

@gomezgang1 Oh my god get a grip you fuckin nutjob, Oasis will be remembered for decades and were by far the best band in the past 20 years. Oasis defined the 90's so fuckin jog on and deal with it.

[gomezgang1]

@kindahottish :) :) :) obviously you are about 8 liam cannot sing to save his life both of them were roadies for a far inferior group the inspiral carpets and waited till the manchester scene had gone before they released a record and most of their best songss are made up of beatles riffs do you know who they are ? now you jog on little boy :) :) :)

[kindahottish]

@gomezgang1 Whats with the creepy smiles in your comments you wee child molester? Liams voice is piss poor nowadays but in the 90's it kicked arse, and was as distinguishable as a lions roar. Noel always has and still does have a fuckin awesome voice. He is undoubtebly the greatest songwriter in my lifetime, and his new album is already shaping up to be a modern classic. No I don't know who the Beatles are, never heard of them. What a stupid fucking question you spastic. Don't bother replying.

[gomezgang1]

@kindahottish there not smiles thats me laughing at your brainless comment retard and watch who you go round calling a paodophile prick because anyone who randomly comes out with that comment is not a full shilling

[WalterSobchak1000]

timeless classic

[02robbo]

Get yourself too whitehaven. Charlatans live acoustic gig

[Cozza399]

@marcdav78 sameas that mate!oh the ups and downs and dramas,but oh the amazin nites out ,the brilliant laffs,the dancin,the sound people met, but most of all the wonderful, fab, beeeoootiful MUSIC!!!

[STFCstoneroses]

haha Tims off his face on coke in this one! Class tune

[veloboy]

It would be interesting to compare The Charlatans with The Stone Roses, if both groups were still around today. The Charlatans are, and for that I am glad. The Roses, however, are not, and for that I am sad. :-(

[OsamabinNorris]

this song is for gary phinn....from dundee scotland....sadly passed away in a motorbike accident......means a lot to a lot of people.......R.I.P. GARY PHINN..............NO ONE HAS FORGOTTEN YOU !!!!

[Chikyeungtinsi]

Loved the song straight off, album was mint and when Rob passed the album was something more. Still thinking of you Rob....

[therebelsc]

[Sirrus1000]

[AspergerUprising]

Manc by name manc by nature.

[magicloz81]

[kingeric2010]

@magicloz81 don,t talk out of your arse. oasis de burnage turned up early 90's and thursday night at the Hac was full of hooded parkas and boys walking around with their bollocks in wheelbarrows from 88 onwards... was there mucka, were you?

[DW01]

[ukeshale]

@DW01 That would be PERFECT if they done it in the Summer sometime! Will keep an eye out for things like that a little closer to the warm weather. Cheers, mate.

[TheRecordead]

[youngsnaps100]

@ukeshale That makes at least 2 of us! I reacon there's a few hundred thousand that would like the same ano?! :)

[shimanah]

@ukeshale With you on that! we were lucky we got some awesome music and a great vibe everywhere which hasn't been repeated since and it's got fuck all to do with getting older just not so much good tunes around nowadays.

[ukeshale]

@shimanah Amen to that. Listening to this makes me wanna crack out my old smock, get the lads together and go camping with a few tins

[angelkarya]

This band's sound remains fresh no matter how many years pass...

[sidandmoi]

[craig1688]

@sidandmoi class act mate. the survuvor of lfe. beautiful. i have a tear in my eye writing this. god bless the memory of rob

[SuperGREggGgG]

tuneee

[izzyhavinalaugh]

everyone postin comparin them to oasis....shut up, ur embarrasin urselves. Different bands in the same scene, each with their respective plus points....i love them both...and this song is easily up there with anything that came out of this period....brilliant song

[ailsa78]

think its a love them or hate them with oasis only because these guys and likes of stone roses were in it before oasis...bit of join the bandwagan happened! i reckon most of them who compare are just die hard 90's kids....just like myself!

[coxyovleeds]

KARNS A CUNT KERRYS A SLAG

[kezloveskarn4ever]

<3 I Love you Karn <3

[KarnaWest]

I LOVE YOU Kerrie xXx

[servetakid]

to me they are cross between, stone roses and oasis, with there own distintive sound at the same time and just as good as both of them, all 3 are great bands

[robpiercewrexham]

u gotta love that madchester swagger!

[MajikMijit]

The more I think about it, the Charlatans are the Jam of 90's ... unfashionable (to the elitist gobshite), out of town band that kept churning out great records while the 'cool' kids disappeared up the own arses. What a song!

[JedOasisForever]

great band they are similiar to the stone roses nuthin like oasis

[thefactandthefiction]

he kinda reminds me of me dad.

[jimvortex]

then howcome oasis can only manage 3 decent albums as apposed to charlatans many ?  charlatans piss on oasis and liams a knobhead !!

[TheTelf79]

if its the only one you know then you cant comment. ;-)

[telempson]

well looks like newt from hollyoaks!!! fucking love the charlatans

[NehalsDCFC]

They are as good as Oasis

[villamad28]

they shit all over oasis sorry better vocals

[Liam2621]

who cares where hes from?

just cause ur from inner city manchester doesnt make u better than anyone else, most people i know who live there want to move out, ps i love manchester but just saying it dont matter where ur from

[awowsmatow]

good song but one to another pisses on this imo!bit of a magical mystery tour sound to the guitar solo too.

[07743234836]

hes from hes mum lol

[aaronboi07]

he's so like ian brown, but no sigar lol....the charlatans wer the closest thing to the roses :) great band

[bohsblur]

i hate all this charlies/ roses comparisons.. They were all part of a

huge baggy scene.. inspirals, james, and

the mondays completed it...

[harrybaws12345]

@bohsblur a wuldnt say james. its more of an english scene.

[pikeman07]

Great underrated song....verging on the masterpiece....no-one else does chord changes like the Charlies....top notch in Holmfirth Thurs 13th :)

[fastn1]

love this

[cider661]

hes frm moulton

[LozMac33]

He isng from Norwich, he's from Northwich!

[boxingleedsfan]

charlatans are from norwich mate tims from salford but grew up in norwhich and the rest of band are frm manchester just to ya know lol .

[MrSmiths1]

I got a brand new combine harvester oh oh oh oh oh ooo

[nickjus38]

one word "quality"

[hipshakejunkie]

tim burgess is cool as fuck!

[Screaming38]

Charlatans are different than the Roses-

One's from Norwich, the other Manchester

I prefer the Charlatan sound- but Roses are who I heard first- loved them

Let everyone decide what they want to

Personally, Charlatans have to be my all time favorite at 38 years of age-

[markpetergibson]

best band of all time

[herb1977]

Itchy and scratchy come runnin' up the alley

If you'll be good i'll be good to your daddy

Who loves you but i bet it's not the same

As your north country boy

[jarvocurlylocks]

going to watch them at haydock tonight, gonna be top

[ajamair]

we rule rock n roll north west finest manchester no one could touch they all think they better but they not do you get meah

[bohsblur]

oasis stole from the beatles, jam, roses..

bands like the charlies, inspirals, done it there own way. Respect 4 them...

[bogomonkeycoco]

No one says they were infulenced by Oasis.

But the Charlies were just a wanna be Roses effort, Tims desire to be Ian shines out of him.

And as for oasis, When the Roses went to the wall, The Charlies were still playing second fiddle to Oasis.

[Waxthumper]

Keep quoting from the NME you twat.. fuck off, grow a brain of your own. Nonce.

[youroncandidcamera]

lmao

[AceOfSpade1234]

Why would Tim wanna immitate Ian? The Stone Roses were good, but the Charlies were twice the band. Hands down.

[STFCstoneroses]

one the greatest bands this country has ever seen

[rickdanco]

dam rite!

[Waxthumper]

Country?... I'm from Eire,... Europe... THE WORLD mate.

[harryboyelvis]

Tune.

[sidandmoi]

amazing song, and i also love the video.

[stevhaw]

best fucking tune fucking ever

[bogomonkeycoco]

ah the charlies - always second best

Always second fidel on the scence to Stone Roses then Oasis.

[sheeshkebab1711]

LOL

[MCBhangramuffin]

best ever Charlies tune and one of my favourite songs EVER

[speeder1981]

Most bands in that time (95-97) were influenced by oasis. They are the greatest and brought british rock back at the top after sucking 80 (except stone roses, happy mondays, the simths)

These guys just confirm that.

Great song, I love brit pop and all bands as well

[alanp11]

saw these years before i had even heard of oasis!!!!!!!!!!!!! pretenders to the crown

[bomberzak]

LOL, Oasis copied their style, amoungst several others. The Gallachers were still in School when this mob were the only one i knew..

[Waxthumper]

*****

[Powermick]

these guys were out about 12month after the roses and pre-oasis, so how were they influenced by oasis its the other way around.

[sheeshkebab1711]

Good call

[SimzyBitch]

charlatans old stuff pisses all over oasis

[PUCKATING]

oasis could never write stuff like this cuz there cack

[hotaze3480]

they were out b4 oasis u div

[ShabbaNasty]

Hes on about the song, not the band, the songs from 1997 so hows that before Oasis? idiot, was you even born?

[poldibr]

"even in the morning raaaiiinn" sorry but this is sooo oasis, excellent tune

[shakermaker25]

fuckin great tune!

[montymonty25]

Burgess is God.

[galpzz]

itchy an scratchy came running up the alley!?!

[dezaufc]

tim burgees !ian brown don't think so lol tim's tim and ian's ian both legand's enought said..

[redeyedtroll]

love this song but i never understood it. As far as i can make out, he's singin about being in love with a guy from yorkshire. am i hearing it wrong?

[Dannywade007]

LOL.. Never even thought of what the lyrics mean but when you say that i you could be right.

[snoozingphil]

Havent heard this for ages not one of their best but still a fantastic band

[TartanDesi]

Tim Burgess = "The BOY!"

sheer class

[SimonDolan]

Most underrated band of all time.

[mozeley1]

They played at the POWER STATION in Auckland NZ last night - played this - went off ...fukn ace..top show.

[ktc1969]

top band miles ahead of soft boys oasis.lufc

[corklscrew]

top,top song cooooool!

[piles2006]

liam gallagher stole his whole swagger and style lol

[chuck0sherman]

they both stole ian browns

[DYSBinMUC]

Saw them last week in Munich. Really fucking great. Didn't play this song though.

[bohsblur]

saw them last week, and fucks sake they

are getting BETTER... go see them and enjoy

a legendery act.

[KingboyD2008]

Great tune! Off to see them in 19 hrs :-)

[kingmonkeyfan]

maybe in their first records,,, i'm not sure, but it doesn't matter, this band is brilliant :)

[kingmonkeyfan]

Tim Burgess is different than Ian

[DMD10]

I think in the early years he copied ian didn't he?

[ihaveabigwilly0999]

Tim Burgess is influenced by Ian Brown, but which manchester-based indie band can claim that they aren't? Roses and Charlatans are absolutely genius.

[DMD10]

he thinks he is Ian Brown...bit sad but good song and good band

[bullstaff72]

charlatans fucking rule !! oasis !!!! dont make me larff they were 4 years too late ,good band ,but they missed the baggy days  god i miss them days
