    The Mary chain ,The Smiths, The Bunnymen, my three fave bands of the 80's (and probably all time)
    was lucky enough to see all three live back then, All great live even if the mary chain was chaotic. Years later listening to them got me into Mazzy star
    ( another cool band). 30+ years later and still listening.

    Back in the 80s my best friend and I worked all over the country floor laying and we used to have this song cued up on the cassette to play as loud as we could as we swerved away from work on the Friday afternoons...it was always the first song we played!
    Was the best song ever to play, loud as hell as we were heading home for a weekend of drinking and shagging.
    Just listening to it again brings it all back!

    [Verse 1]
    Hey, honey, what you trying to say?
    As I stand here, don't you walk away
    And the world comes tumbling down
    Hand in hand in a violent life
    Making love on the edge of a knife
    And the world comes tumbling down
    [Chorus 1]
    And it's hard for me to say
    And it's hard for me to stay
    I'm going down to be by myself
    I'm going back for the good of my health
    And there's one thing I couldn't do
    Sacrifice myself to you
    Sacrifice
    [Verse 2]
    Baby, baby, I just can't see
    Just what you mean to me
    I take my aim and I fake my words
    I'm just your longtime curse
    And if you walk away
    I can't take it
    [Chorus 2]
    But that's the way that you are
    And that's the things that you say
    But now you've gone too far
    With all the things you say
    Get back to where you come from
    I can't help it, under the April skies
    Under the April skies
    Under the April sun
    Under the April skies
    [Bridge]
    Under the April sun
    Under the April sun
    Under the April skies
    Under the April sun
    Under the April skies
    [Verse 3]
    The sun grows cold, the sky gets black
    And you broke me up and now you won't come back
    Shaking hand, life is dead
    And a broken heart and a screaming head
    Hey, hey
    [Outro]
    Under the April skies
    Under the April sun
    Under the April skies
    Under the April skies

    I was born in 77, and I guess I missed this band when they were big, but I'm glad I'm getting into them now thanks to Mani. Heard on the radio that Mani would've loved to have joined this band if he hadn't joined Primal Scream... And now I can see why. Really love their sound. They should play more JAMC ON the radio.

    I wish I had heard these guys back in the 80s, when they were current. I only learned about them in 2005, on VH1 Classics, when I was setting up my channel on RUclips and Delphi Forums (those were the days!). I am glad this song was played on the Walking Dead. Awesome music the present generation shouldn't miss out on.

      They are very expressive, their sound is awesome, massive I think the "sonic overload"/feed-back is to deter the faint hearted, the lyrics are tender, genuine yet only a hardy soul is gonna make it through the wall of guitar heaviness - one has to be tough in this world - JAMC were very hard & very real

    The lead guitar sound is truly epic. It's been in my mind since I first heard it. It will never leave me. I know it may sound daft to some but because I've never seen this video before, I always pictured two singers in this group. One called Jesus Chain on lead vocals and the other, maybe his sister Mary Chain on backing vocals. That all changed when I saw the video for the first time.
