Even today so called standard of music... I consider the Lightning Seeds absolute brilliance. I love all their albums CD and the singles too. All of it worth buying.
Song that got me into rock music back in 1994. It was featured on the TV channel Nickelodeon in an advertisement for the Clarissa Explains It All show. I was 10 and up until then only listened to early 90s Eurotrash Hi-NRG dance music.
I remember that advert. It had a woman singing on what looked like the Swiss Alps like was she was imitating Julie Andrews in the Sound Of Music 😂. It was a car advert I think 😂
Oh well you had to fit But you're fit to drop Open up the window and jump into the blue Things could be marvelous Things could be fabulous You need a push I'll push you off Open up the window and jump into the blue Things could be marvelous Things could be fabulous Soon Oh, and these are the days And this is the life There'll always be something on your mind You'll never quite find Won't you ever make your mind up Oh well you had to hit 'Til you hit the top Open up the window and jump into the blue Things could be marvelous Things could be fabulous Soon Oh, and these are the days And this is the life There'll always be something on your mind You'll never quite find Won't you ever make your mind up Now you'll never be sure If this is the time If this is the moment The end of the line You'll never decide You used to know but now you've forgotten You sit there and wait for the phone to ring When are they going to call Are they ever going to call you at all And then oh! Things could be marvelous Things could be fabulous Soon Oh, and these are the days And this is the life There'll always be something on your mind You'll never quite find Won't you ever make your mind up Now you'll never be sure If this is the time If this is the moment The end of the line You'll never decide You used to know but now you've forgotten A submarine got stuck to the bottom These are the days so wake up Cause this is the time And you know I'm right
I totally agree. And the same can be said of a handful their tunes. Genius. Liverpool bands bossed that decade. Manchester too. Nothing happened down south ;~)
this song always makes me happy. I remember hearing the Peugeot ad in the 90s and loving this song all over again. timeless band. so good. sugar coated iceberg is a personal favourite
Am watching classic corrie on itv hub. Just heard this song. The episode is from 1998. I remember the song from the first time around although I didn't think it was from 91
G'day Shandy.. Um, l have never heard of them.. But they were probably played, back then l was into techno/rave/alternative.. they sound great though.. 🦘👍🦘Bye.
*Don't get me wrong. The melody for this song is amazing!* Omg... I cannot believe how no one, or very few people, understand the real meaning behind the lyrics; This is subliminal messaging at its finest. Watch the video. The bride is sad. The singer wipes away a tear from her eye because she is crying. The people at the end are... not sleeping; they are... something else. > "you're fit to drop" -> ...downwards > "Open up the window and jump into the blue" -> from the window of that tall building > "Things could be marvelous"/"fabulous" -> ...the end... > "You need a push I'll push you off" -> ...giving you the assisted su•c•de > "Won't you ever make your mind up" -> ...he asks what are you waiting for > "you'll never be sure if this is the time" > "If this is the moment" > *"The end of the line"* > "you'll never decide" > "You sit there and wait for the phone to ring When are they gonna call? Are they ever gonna call you at all" -> your friends / companions / etc. > "A submarine got stuck to the bottom" -> The bride they are talking to. She has sunk so far down, and is stuck > "...so wake up, 'Cause this is the time, And... [he states what he thinks is correct" -> ... Go listen to the song again. Has an amazing melody!!! But listen to that subliminal messaging.
This band was amazing...where the hell did they go? come back please! I have been faced with a massive decision in my life just now, and I'm trying hard to make up my mind of what the hell to do...every time I try and decide what to do this song comes on the radio! weird.
Life is hard its certain people that people make this world hard to live in grow mature don't hide behind drugs and booze your own worse own victim please listen to this song
Brilliant. Three Lions is easily the weakest single on their greatest hits. Go and listen to Marvellous, Perfect, Sugar Coated Iceberg or Ready Or Not as examples of perfect pop. I listened to this album recently and realised what great melodies these songs are.
Well said - except that There Lions deserves a massive "well done" to everybody involved. I like Skinner and Baddiel and the Lightning Seeds, so im happy that that song has done what it did. Fair play to them.
