[sophiebodz]

[bargatebomber]

[dariusthewhit]

sad face :[

[charias72]

I love the way he says "River" in the last stanza.

[GraceUnderPressure1]

The first time I heard/saw this on a music channel, I remember I just sat and cried the whole way through, its so moving and so beautifully made.

[TheBassHeavy]

Is that Phil Collins?

[rachyod]

they miss out the 'tough little big man, friends with your daughters...' bit ?!

[ps3sucksassballs]

@rachyod to cut for radio version

[McJoshyE]

Jack had a gang that he called the many grams! he was known as smack jack the cracker man! <3

[JasonPilley]

Just amazing

[xoxoannekeoxox]

oh. 

[JMkroeze]

i hate when they censor words, it breaks the music. it ain't like i don't know the word shit...

[LovesSophie]

half of the song was missed out, ruined it if you ask me )':

[Njzizskmp]

Good song, but the video makes it a great song in my opinion... Bob Hoskins is an legend, he brings everything he appears in to another level

[118IsGay]

MASS LEFT EYEBROW LOL

[TheNewnolimit]

cockneeey wheeeeyyy!!

[maxiikins]

[russellwhite]

who actually happened to sheila?

[randomness044]

it was girl who was drunk and she fell into the thames :/

[kes04]

Probably been mentioned but half the song has been missed out on this video!!!

[zufffs]

Bob Hoskins is a legend, shame this isnt the official video... or is it?

[ImTheDaddy100]

@zufffs It is the propper video

[naughtyboymessiah]

this is the pinnacle of chav pop ( i coined that phrase) . and i mean that nicely. this song ingenius. everyone needs to read the lyrics. its like the love child of the streets and eminem after its been bottle fed speed. pure urban poetry cut from steel and concrete.

[HarryCharnock]

Meaningful stuff. it's strange really, a similar thing happened to my auntie about 10 years before the release of this song, like almost exactly the same..

Good tune tho, well in Jamie.

[nebnerak]

love jamie T ....love this tune and the vid

[filthyay]

@frogy4114 No, the bald guy isnt Jamie T, the bald guy is Bob Hopkins, hes a good actor actually, check out the film Unleashed,, its also called Danny the dog, Jet Li's in it, Its worth watching

[saltandfinagar]

But don't bother with Doomsday.

why do they cut out half this song on the vids tho.. i dont get it

[leethackz0r]

I heard him say august, the sticks n stones ep is out june something though

[sanjonn]

Great song, very sad. Bob Hoskins is awesome. Anyone know what the samples are from?

[elflinto117]

if you mean that random guy saying

"Oh when my love, my darling,

Youve left me here alone,

Ill walk the streets of London

Which once seemed all our own.

The vast suburban churches

Together we have found:

The ones which smelt of gaslight

The ones in incense drownd"

its a poem by John Betjeman

[LyricalWax]

@sanjonn the first sample is from Sir John Betjeman's 'The Cockney Amorist'. He was the Poet Laureate from 1972-84.

The second sample (homeless guy) is most likely from the song "Why Can't the English?" from My Fair Lady, but it was changed slightly to avoid any copyright issues.

[Teaandcakesandices]

@sanjonn The Cockney Amorist. The other sample ("Good heavens, you boys") is made up because the original sample he used had copywright issues

[JJKId93]

Jamie T + Bob Hoskins = legends

[5346278]

@JJKId93 well said my man!

[Emokidunderscore69]

New Mtv version?

[KyleGooner4]

Choon and a half!

[conman146]

a rapping grandad :P

not a bad song :)

[JB131170]

How did he get Bob Hoskins, though?

[Doyley3731]

Probably just asked his agent. It's not like Bob's chocker block at the minute.

[fingersk8dan]

@Doyley3731 its the scene from a famous film you know when film makers do that thing where they take a picture and put someones moving mouth behind it??? they do it on soccer am with 'what was all taht about' if you havent seen it already :)

[ILYFREY99]

i really do like this song, i know its old, but the lyrics are like veery good, and the tune =)

[Amy94x]

[WeLoveYouBabez]

[W457ED]

i can cant not do somthin like that

[hespi4life]

had to listen to this song...

it just came into my head when i was at school :L and i was singing it in art ;) :L

[ljevo1234]

whats the actors name hes great

[thespread]

Bob Hoskins.

[TheAtheisticRocker]

your right about the stories but i think their connected. jack overdoses on alcohol so his daughter georgina by overdosing and falling into the river thames. Georgina is the same as sheila. Maybe it is just a collection of sad stories

[BradShawSafe]

:^) wata sad song,, :( :L

[mfc07]

her mate stella means she got drunk on stella artious

[katewebster080]

The song has three stories, the first about a girl called Sheila who is out in London, gets drunk, and stumbles in to the River Thames and drowns. The second is of a gangster drug dealer named Jack and his gang Mickey, Dan, Lisa and Sam, which splits up and he overdoses on alcohol. The final story tells of a girl called Georgina, her alcoholic father has been beating her, then he dies and she kills herself by taking an overdose.. i hope this helped :) x

[zombiekid16]

fucking sad song :(

thx though

[katewebster080]

right song has three stories, the first about a girl called Sheila who is out in London, gets drunk, and stumbles in to the River Thames and drowns. The second is about gangster/drug dealer named Jack and his gang Mickey, Dan, Lisa and Sam, and how Lisa, and Sam have a baby and the gang splits up so he overdoeses' on alcohol. The final story tells of a girl called Georgina, her alcoholic father has been beating her, then he dies and she kills herself by taking an overdose.. i hope this helped x

[punkashes]

[Legendarycheese]

[DarkarbiterFilms]

One of Britians best actors :D , is this guy received a knighthood yet or what lol ?

[archerisgod]

bluhhhh

[DarkarbiterFilms]

Good heavens

Blue blooded murder :O

[DarkarbiterFilms]

British actor BOB HOSKINS has vowed to refuse a knighthood if he is ever offered one, because he couldn't bear to be called "Sir".

[wuclanfan]

what else would you call it?

[wuclanfan]

now go listen to roots manuva

[wuclanfan]

facking great the british rap is comin up!!

[83BarFly]

rap?

[Easytrick420]

this song needs some beats in the background

[cozybowl]

anyone notice towards the end of the song.. you can barely hear a girl singing in the chorus of the song???

[popadom07]

[ahhhhhhcrazy]

ooooohh i understand lol

[wezham]

[injun2007]

Bob Hoskins, Legend

[Nogert]

This dude obviously just got his teeth whitened and wanted to show 'em off lol.

[ahhhhhhcrazy]

what does screams calling london mean?

[emellemc]

she is shouting at anyone in the city to come to her aid. i presume, hope this helps.

[blink182timess]

is this the guy from law and order?

[ramando1]

legend

[Lecazzate]

Grandioso !!!

[kimiko8675309]

mostly because avril is a poser sellout and jamie t is the inverse of that.

[archerisgod]

jamie t is the shit!

avril still hot tho

[kimiko8675309]

yeah if you're a 11 year old boy.

[PopSweetSugar]

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA i love this video more then the other one fer suree! wait but it makes no sense in the song didnt they say that the dad died :S ?!

[tbryce1]

No, the daughter died, but it was Bob Hoskins daughter. The reason he is carrying the flowers is because he is walking towards the place where is daughter, Sheila, died.

I think :P

[archerisgod]

you wrote that so convincingly then put a 'i think' at the end

[adsyboy07]

Does this song hav 2 vids cos its confusing.

[slightlystrangegirl]

this is such a good video. you wouldn't expect a lip syncing bob hoskins to impress you, but this just leaves me speechless every time. fantastic song, EPIC video.

[gilsenar]

yes hoskins on this video was agem of an idea.e is a very capable actor. u can feel the emotional content e provides in d video.london street accent of jamie is perfect for this tune. good heavens, you boys, bluh

[alexbissmelly]
