Remember buying 7 singles deep from Virgin record shop in Birmingham l can honestly say its probably the most played lp I've got, love this track everything about it is perfect from the lyrics ,the bass ,the horns, but its the drums my god what brilliant drummer Chris Sharrock is ,believe he plays on the high flying birds. If you want an introduction to the Icicle works get this album if you still can
I did camera on this video (the wobblier bits). Shot in The Studio in The Roger Stephens Building of Leeds University - now converted to do something academic - pah! I loved every minute...had a ball, and the band were all lovely chaps.
Great wee song…..from the most genuine artist…..80s onwards…awesome on guitar live up there with Clapton..
Saw these live at Reading Rock in 1987, outstanding brilliance.
Omg a blast from the past. Still a brilliant song but cant ya tell its so 80's 😅
I absolutely love the line. Father drove a taxi cab. I'd sit below the meter. If you tried to hail us, he would pass you by..
Bought their albums in the eighties and it has always remained a mystery to me how they never became an enormous band. The Doors meet Scott Walker, and I'd be amazed if Neil Hannon hadn't drawn an influence. And my two favourite tracks, A Pocketful Of Nothing and Scarecrow, haven't even been uploaded. I'll see what I can do.
Speaking as an American, I'd say it's because they're not good.
Or maybe because they're not American (speaking as an Englishman).@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music
@@Canalboyable Come now, there are plenty of Brit 80's pop acts making a nice living touring the U.S. right now who wouldn't dare show their face back home. Tell me these guys were as talented as Spandau Ballet, Tears for Fears, or Duran Duran, et. al. Back in the day Icicle Works was classed as cool indie stuff by U.S. radio simply because they were British, even though they were producing horrid pop garbage.
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music Comparing the Sublime poetry of Robert Ian Mcnabb to the dribblings of teenie drool Simon Le Bon (the Reflex is a lonely child....Really? Is like comparing Ribeye to a Burger King. As you well know, mass consumer appeal is no yardstick against which quality should be measured. Kylie Minogue has sold more records than Steely Dan in the UK.....I rest my case m'lud. Horrid Pop Garbage is Duran Duran, Kool and the Gang (help!) T Rex, Slade, post Gabriel Genesis.....the list is long and horrifying. The real instrumentalists and lyricists like Sparks, 10CC, Steely Dan, and later bandsThe Chameleons and The Triffids were never going into the mainstream. The same way as (ahem) Ribeye ain't on that many plates at dinner time.
@@Canalboyable The Reflex is a crime against humanity and citing it is like saying that Hitler is representative of all Germans who will ever live. Phil Collins is on my list of musicians that I feel on balance should be put to death.
I guess I'm really only familiar with Icicle Work's one and a half big singles over here and neither (and I'm using the British pronunciation of that) betray the capacity for Steely Dan or even Sparks level potential. I wouldn't call them good pop music or good anything else. You're making Robert Ian Mcnabb sound like he's Paddy McAloon or Ian McCulloch.
Taken from Shakespear's Twelfth Night. "I am all the daughters of my father’s house,
And all the brothers too - and yet I know not."
Haha did 12th night for o level in early 80s.....never remembered that
Drummer's really into this
Chris Sharrock. Was also in Las, Oasis, Lightning seeds, Beady Eye AND High flying birds
Oh and Robbie Williams

mcnabb is a bi tunet of a strange chap but he knocks out a good
The curse of the unscheduled cursor jump.
tune
I`ve always loved this song ,but never figured out what the lyrics are about (except maybe the `small price of a bicycle ` line.)
the title is a shakespeare quote from twelfth night - dunno if that sheds any light..
+InParticularNobody Mr. McNabb told me it was a quote from a Clive James book, of course he may have nicked it from Will......
Twelfth Night; Act 2 Scene 4: (end of scene): DUKE ORSINO
But died thy sister of her love, my boy?
VIOLA
I am all the daughters of my father's house,
And all the brothers too: and yet I know not.
Sir, shall I to this lady?
DUKE ORSINO
Ay, that's the theme.
To her in haste; give her this jewel; say,
My love can give no place, bide no denay.
Exeunt
Light duly shed,thanks.
so does anyone know what this song is about ?
Nope what's it about.
