Looking in the Shadows isn’t even available on Apple Music. But their other albums are I thought this was a brilliant album. Their best really. In my opinion
Actually this song wasn't released until after Kurt died, so if you want to hear the Raincoats he loved, go and listen to their first album which is just called the Raincoats.
I saw you out walking down Westbourne Grove You caught my eye and your arm it rose It rose in the sky, oh ever so high But it wasn't, my dear, to wave to me No it was simply to hail a big black taxi Which you jumped in as fast as you possibly could Well you look my dear I'm not made of wood And my name may be Birch dear, but I'm not a tree And yes I can see you ignoring me And I'm beginning to think though I'm open to sway Even when we're old and grey I think you’ll see me and look the other way Just like you did dear, only the other day We'll sit on a park bench with our grandchildren dear you'll catch my eye and you’ll shout come over here But it won't be me that you're calling dear It'll be your young Jenny or Jimmy or Jack And oh one of us is gonna have a near heart attack Grandad, grandad what's wrong with you Why oh why are we rushing to the zoo And you’ll say Shut up Jimmy stop your talking Just Grab my hand and keep on walking And I'm beginning to think that I'm open to sway Even when we're old and grey I think you’ll see me and look the other way Just like you did dear only the other day Oh I know what you’ll say you'll say this is all in my mind And I'm prone to delusions And things of that kind, Well now it's been well over a year And there's no more time for shadding a tear Yes you left and I behaved badly But you know at that time I loved you so madly don't be mean don't be mean, don't be mean don't be mean don't be mean don't be mean, don't be mean don't be mean And I'm beginning to think Well I'm open to sway That even when we're old and grey I think you might see me and look the other way Just like you did only the other day Goodbye dear Goodbye
I love this song! My buddy just introduced me too it. Thinking of making a cover version. These chicks are amazing and way before their time. Thank god for U-Tube!
it's a reference to the movie 10 things i hate about you. a boy goes to a girl-rock concert to impress a girl, and says the above line to impress said girl with his knowledge of 'angry girl rock of the indie persuasion'.
I just love getting recommended so much older music daily to add to my playlists. (If I ever get to sorting my Watch Later that is..) I get to find many gems such as this. I only wish more people knew about The Raincoats and many, many more artists who shared a similar passion.
The SONG may be embarrasing TO YOU, AirParrott, but to the rest of us, it is utter BRILLIANACE!!! YOU obviously don't get out much. It is CLASSIC Post-Post Modern DaDa Situationalist paraprased in a Post Punk Pedormorphism!!! I am PISTIFIED by you lack of appreaciation, ney, PISTIFICATION of the videographer's eudaemonims, euphemistically represented by the colour green and the white leather GoGo boots of the female band members. It is the Eucharist PERSONIFIED!!! Have you not eyes?!!!
@Kendall21012345 yeah, it's easy to forget that things like youtube, which provides free access to media for everyone, aren't just *there*. I can handle the adverts with that in mind I guess!
The Raincoats and the Slits, pure fem
one of the many gems on a criminally underappreciated album...from a similarly criminally underappreciated band.
I'd never heard of them - they're good!
Looking in the Shadows isn’t even available on Apple Music. But their other albums are
I thought this was a brilliant album. Their best really. In my opinion
they are what they always wanted to be, they never wanted to be what you and the music industry considers to be an "appreciated band" 🤣
Angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion. - 10 things i hate about you.
lol ur old
You're the one who clicked on a raincoats video ;)
+AmysMamaLife
oh yeah
AmysMamaLife Best movie ever!!
They're okay but they're no Letters to Cleo.
Thank you 10 things I hate about you
Exactly
RIP Heath Ledger
@@BasketCase420 BROO YOU JUST REMINDED ME OF THIS SONG
Love the way she shouts "Don't be mean! Don't be mean! Don't be mean!" in the ending :)
Actually this song wasn't released until after Kurt died, so if you want to hear the Raincoats he loved, go and listen to their first album which is just called the Raincoats.
"My name may be Birch but I'm not a tree" Lol
Magic
"10 things I hate about you" got me here
wait how
Actually same tho
THIS IS MUSIC!!!!
HEY RADIO PLAY THIS!
I saw you out walking down Westbourne Grove
You caught my eye and your arm it rose
It rose in the sky,
oh ever so high
But it wasn't, my dear, to wave to me
No it was simply to hail a big black taxi
Which you jumped in as fast as you possibly could
Well you look my dear I'm not made of wood
And my name may be Birch dear, but
I'm not a tree
And yes I can see you ignoring me
And I'm beginning to think
though I'm open to sway
Even when we're old and grey
I think you’ll see me and look the other way
Just like you did dear, only the other day
We'll sit on a park bench
with our grandchildren dear
you'll catch my eye and you’ll shout
come over here
But it won't be me that you're calling dear
It'll be your young Jenny or Jimmy or Jack
And oh
one of us is gonna have a near heart attack
Grandad, grandad what's wrong with you
Why oh why are we rushing to the zoo
And you’ll say Shut up Jimmy stop your talking
Just Grab my hand and keep on walking
And I'm beginning to think
that I'm open to sway
Even when we're old and grey
I think you’ll see me and look the other way
Just like you did dear only the other day
Oh I know what you’ll say
you'll say this is all in my mind
And I'm prone to delusions
And things of that kind, Well
now it's been well over a year
And there's no more time for shadding a tear
Yes you left and I behaved badly
But you know at that time
I loved you so madly
don't be mean don't be mean, don't be mean don't be mean
don't be mean don't be mean, don't be mean don't be mean
And I'm beginning to think
Well I'm open to sway
That even when we're old and grey
I think you might see me and look the other way
Just like you did only the other day
Goodbye dear
Goodbye
I heard of this group from a Kurt Cobain interview.damn good.
I heard about them from 10 Things I Hate About You
@@BasketCase420 yes same...
i heard about them because i liked the word "raincoat", and gave them a listen. self-titled is still a percy (personal fave)
I love this song! My buddy just introduced me too it. Thinking of making a cover version. These chicks are amazing and way before their time. Thank god for U-Tube!
it was simply to hail a big black taxi
Did you do a cover?
met the raincoats at alexandra palace in the 80s...lovely girls..!
Their no Bikini Kill or the Raincoats but their not bad. 10 things I hate about you
what does it mean when someone says the raincoats are no raincoats?
They were around many years before Bikini Kill.
it's a reference to the movie 10 things i hate about you. a boy goes to a girl-rock concert to impress a girl, and says the above line to impress said girl with his knowledge of 'angry girl rock of the indie persuasion'.
THATS WHY IM HERE!!!! I love that movie
I'm watching this movie right now!
A real highlight if what I regard as the greatest comeback album ever. Waaaay past time for another one, surely?
Way indeed
fantastic proud music
This music is electric
I'VE BEEN STANNING FOR SO LONG BUT THIS WILL BE ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITES SONGS BY THE RAINCOATS
I've never heard this before; what a shame!...Thank you youtube! This is art!
Only the other day
Loved them madly
Now they are Old and Grey
Still Do !!!
The older I get the more relevant this song becomes.
I just love getting recommended so much older music daily to add to my playlists. (If I ever get to sorting my Watch Later that is..)
I get to find many gems such as this. I only wish more people knew about The Raincoats and many, many more artists who shared a similar passion.
This song is so fire wtf

dont be mean has meaning
Which release is that? I can't find it!
they're touring with grass widow fuck yeah
I searched for them just because they were mentioned in the 10 things i hate about you :{D
The SONG may be embarrasing TO YOU, AirParrott, but to the rest of us, it is utter BRILLIANACE!!! YOU obviously don't get out much. It is CLASSIC Post-Post Modern DaDa Situationalist paraprased in a Post Punk Pedormorphism!!! I am PISTIFIED by you lack of appreaciation, ney, PISTIFICATION of the videographer's eudaemonims, euphemistically represented by the colour green and the white leather GoGo boots of the female band members. It is the Eucharist PERSONIFIED!!! Have you not eyes?!!!
and im beginning to think but i am open to sway.....
@Kendall21012345 yeah, it's easy to forget that things like youtube, which provides free access to media for everyone, aren't just *there*. I can handle the adverts with that in mind I guess!
@articangel12 - Looking in the Shadows.
My name maybe Birch but I am not a tree.

Who else came here from I PLAY MY BASS LOUD??
@hokiefilm
I thought it looked like David Bowie crossed with Brian Molko.
Stanks!
@Kendall21012345 very true, i agree!!
when someone says something rude to me
if you dont got anything good to say dont say it at all...
Don't be mean? More like don't be meme.
It's "angry girl music" ;)
