Good old William Bird. He pulled out all the stops and made it to his kids ball game just in time. So I say "Well Done Billy Bird International Business Traveller".
Somepretentiousnameorother126 That's not the best form is it? First, you tell me of the demise of Billy the Bird, but then you only offer a hashtag that leads nowhere that confirms the truth of your assertion, nor allows anyone to lay a wreath. I say you are a scoundrel Somepretentiousnameorother126 and I question what you did with Somepretentiousnameorother125. I say you are a bounder and a cad! Possibly also some evil genius, the kind of which I daren't even imagine (although it is my job to do so). I am on to you Somepretentiousnameorother124 (in disguise) ... I've seen you before (laughs diabolically despite being the goody). Anyway, don't mess with me (or the Irish London sorts) they are devine and possessing of a lovely horse who lives in Eric's garden. O.K. By now you think that I'm insane, or else you have done your research and know what I am talking about (or possibly both). Either way, just accept that you have lost (or else disagree if you want - that's one of the things you can do on the Internet). Slàinte
@@sodd1000 I haven’t even started but thank you for your concern, your caring nature shines through. Peace and love my brother. Also, I’ve told you before, don’t ring me at work but I’ll let it pass on this occasion.
Due to the pandemic, my father - who works in the big city - has been unable to return to our hometown. Last time I saw him was last year. He was so excited during our call in March; he thought he'd be able to go home by the end of the month. This song reminds me of how much I miss him it hurts.
Unimportant update no one asks for: he is finally coming home next week. Thanks, the Divine Comedy, for this beautiful song that kept me company when Dad wasn't here yet. ❤️
@@una_10bananas in that case, listen to Marilion's "Torch Song" (totally different kind of music, I know..) - the line "Doctor says my liver looks like leaving with my lover" for me is one of the most clever song lyrics ever!
boopsbucket my uncle lived in Sweden years ago and then moved to the states/U.S and for some years ago the divine comedy came to Stockholm the capital city of Sweden but he lived in Chicago by then so he couldn’t go But I went and it was Amazing but find it sad and strange that they are not known at all in the states.
If God exists and hes sat up there, I hope in all hope this is what is on his stereo! Divine Comedy and that Neil deserves his place at the pearly gates that is for sure! this is just beyond brilliant. One huge fat like from me :D
This song goes though my head on repeat every time I’m away from home (Newcastle) with work. Love the song but only just noticed Billy Bird is also a Geordie (plane ticket at 00:40)!!!
Think it was only Me on local commercial radio and the guys at absolute radio that ever gave this track airplay back in the day such a good track never hear it now.
I remember when I've seen for the first time this video, and If i have to be honest, has been a love at the first sight , very compliments, Neil this is awesome, good sound, voices. .😍😍😍😍😍
@@IamRobotMonkeyDon't worry, Billy is absolutely grand. He made it home, has straightened out his priorities and is living a quiet but deeply fulfilling life.
