[MrTevB]

brilliant song even 21 years after the first time I heard it...a bit melancholy now as it's so long ago...long ago and timeless..thankyou so much for uploading this..

[supersaintgene]

remastered on the album essential as anything, available from i tunes along with all thier classics

[Dovelike]

One of their best songs an so unlike Mental as Anythings music. Did it chart high?

[851s]

This is a fantastic song,and very hard to come by,thanks nzoz1989,I have seen them live half a dozen times,I met Greedy Smith one night before a show,he gave me a mention during the show,great memories

[theincubus60]

this is the mentals best song

[petechrissy]

and they are still punching out the tunes today just seen them tonight great !!!

[sixgun75]

This song is sooo underated and was very overlooked. A real shame coz imo this band is one of the finest australia has produced.

[CartsCambodia]

see Mentals live in Vietnam on my channel

[ligeynuts]

This will always be associated with 'The Big Steal' for me, probably my favourite Australian film. Gordon Farkus is such a thoroughly entertaining character.

Awesome track.

[joebehrdenver]

Thank you so much for all the work you've put into finding and posting these videos!

[richardjdbone]

Not only do I think it a brilliant song, but it's also the absolute story of my life. I could only answer one of the questions raised.

[barryxf]

I've never heard this song before. In the UK we only got to hear Live It Up in 1987, a brilliant track :)

[melissastrawbridge]

When I first heard this I listened to it over and over and over again!!!

Wonderful. :)

[Darktrain9000]

Remember when this came out in '89 - this was seen as a huge departure from the MAA sound, shame they didn't take it further - still sounds amazing

[2006dakoda]

great song, 1st heard it on the australian classic the big steal so awesome

[louisealston]

we danced to the song at our wedding..... :)

[gav240z]

I can't find this song anywhere, but on youtube.

[4drecord]

Hauntingly brilliant! Remember this fwell when I was living in Melbourne. Pity radio didn't pick up on this. Great track!

[spar7ky]

looked for this song for yrs, i loved this song, end of the 80s saw somw real classic songs which will last inside me forever, so many memories for anyone who has looked this song up, im feelin ya alll.

[MrWholie]

i got it on garage 2nd bonus disc , def under rated and not played on radio enought or at all

[Torianosgirl1]

ITS TAKEN ME JUST AS LONG, TEN YEARS!! WHOOOO!!! *lol* :cD

[yesterdayhero]

It has taken me 10 years to find this song... It was my favorite song when i was young... Give me a Hell Yeah!!!!

[gav240z]

Hell yeah, I know the feeling mate. Such an amazing song and i'm sure memories come flooding back for you.

[povrick]

haha tyndall you crack me up

[spar7ky]

lol its taken me 20 yrs - forgot the name of it and who it was by - just found it Woooo hooo, your right its awsome , my fav song when i was 15

[krazynite]

Criminally underated song by the Mentals....radio should still play stuff like this.

[Cragget]

The frontman looks like the guy who plays judge Harvey Cooper in Boston Legal and Dr. Frederick Chilton in Silence of the Lambs... can't remember his name...

[gav240z]

I've been searching for ages for this song. It was on "The Big Steal" soundtrack. I've been living away from Australia for 2+ years and this song is very nostalgic for me.

[jmag616]

mental as anything had both greedy smith and martin plaza. Both great talents as with the whole band and a great sound of the 80's. I still have the 12 inch single!!

[LogicHead]

Also used in 'The Big Steal' with Ben Mendelsohn, Claudia Karvan and Steve Bisley.

A fine ballad. Thanks again nzoz1989. I've seen more of your videos than any other uploader on YouTube.

[nzoz1989]

two years of intensive work..!!!

[gav240z]

Yeah I loved that movie and this song.

[quicksquiz]

What an important part of the 'Mentals' and Greedy's repertoir. This shows how good they really were.

[123thebird]

and still are the best

[migweld]

Greedy's finest ballad. Thanks!

[dave1234aust]

Thanks for posting this, had it on VHS but it was fading fast... been looking for it for ages... cheers
