this is a great tune - although never made it in the day, I guess RG never mentions it cos he isn 't getting copyrights from it - which is fair enough.
Funny how everyone talks about ricky but nobody ever talks about the guy on the left? Who is he!, Bill macrea is that hes real name...?? Who wrote the music?
AMAZING!!! I am 16 years old and love Ricky as a comedian now-a-days, i came accross this video while watching a stand-up gig of his! And i'm glad i did find it because i just fancy the pants off of him now HAHAHA!
@AndyPandemonium69 - I hope you're being sarcastic. Amateurish over-production, vocals drenched in echo to make them undecipherable, naive lyrics and not a melodic hook in sight, strange (and long) instrumental sections (like that aggressive piano thing and that weird glockenspiel...lol).
@samranivra Your very right surely this is one of my all time top 20 out of all the new wave songs.
One thing about new waves songs then is that their lyrics are crafted based on emotions, there's a great deal of poetry. Unlike song today that they squeezed in words because they rhyme..much so they invent words. NEWAVER till the end.
He wouldn't mind me saying this.... thats very gay! :) haha joking aside, you obviously had something inside you... OOH pardon! - but really... i wonder what you did after the band faded away... 30 somethings, 1990's... relationship or smashed on E? maybe a career in music...slips over to TV and bingo, nice1 Ricky
This is a bloody good tune - a bit Soft Cell / ABC in sound ? Don't know why he's embarrassed looking back at these videos - this was the coolest look in 83 !! David Bowie meets Steve Strange ? It was the crap name that let them down ! Eh - it never stopped Kajagoogoo or Wet Wet Wet though (regretfully).
@Andycap68@Andycap68 you're so right about the look. Pretty much everyone is embarrassed when they see the early 80's versions of themselves, it just so happens that Ricky's is spread over the tele rather than just when families are forced to look at a photo album at christmas.
Actually I think you'll find it was Pantiles Night Club in Bagshot that made this song popular. This was the place that RG did his promo and since I was his roomie at UCL in our first year and the owner and founder of The SD Club I think your 'asshole comment' is way, way off the mark . Best, if you don't know what you are talking about, to shut the fuck up !
This is the remix of the original 12" of More to Lose. This was remixed by a filipino DJ for a bootleg remixes collection cd. Notice the different intro and the additional keyboard background near the intro.
i can never get my head around the fact that Ricky had a whole 38 years prior to the office. Like, i always considered Steve and Karl and Ricky to be of the same age. Its freaky how he was busy being a popstar when Steve was 8 and Karl was 10. That's actually mad.
a longtime favourite of mine. part of me wishes seona would have released more music, it was fantastic. but, i take the fall because it gave us ricky as we know him today...love ricky, love seona.
@number1juggalo666 it's his right hand... how the fuck did ur comment not get trolled down? lol. it got upvoted? I'm voting it down. lol. OH fuck i just accidentally upvoted it. hahaha
@rdgloveshouse You can order the 7 inch, and the 12 inch singe at ebay. It's there. May I suggest that you can also buy the New Wave Essentials, 17 rare tracks that are hard to find.
and now .... the worlds longest intro to a song !! .... lol great song though , ricky gervais is amazingly talented , musicly aswell as being a gifted writer and comedian.
hi mr mandaluyongboy i am absolute new waver din till now... can you help me who sing this song "" run for your love i've been looking at .. run for your , if they make a move ..run for your love...""
yeah. this is really GOOD 80s new romantics stuff!!!
thankfully there were thousands of these types of bands back then, so when Ricky Gervais' music career didn't pan out, he ended up giving us the genius works THE OFFICE, EXTRAS, XFM Radio Shows, etc and etc!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow

he can at least be comforted in the knowledge that Ricky got famous by becoming a comedian instead of pop star. Imagine how much worse he would feel if solo ricky went on to become a super-famous solo artist? Plus McRae will be gettin a few royalties whenever they dig out these old clips to embarrass Ricky : )
