This song aged incredibly well. RUclips is full of people calling this and that band underrated, but with the Delgados, I really think they should have deserved a bit more acclaim. I still listen to their first two albums (and the Peel Sessions).
'Peloton' should have been a huge album - great band. Saw live a fair few times in the 90s when I still lived in the UK. Each gig was excellent and very professional. Very much missed.
Still fantastic after all these years. I'll never forget seeing them (3 times) in Chicago - especially the gig at Metro when the brought the string section. The band was fantastic and so was the sound - just freaking gorgeous, and they got one of the best reviews I've ever seen by our persnickity music column writer - I cut it out and I still have it. The show was in April but we had a winter storm warning, so attendance was not what it should be. I booked a hotel downtown because nothing was going to stop me from seeing them. So worth it.
Creeping 'round my house at dawn, I'll keep my curtains closed. If you're feeling fond of feeling wronged, Fully clothed. For a second time you're on my mind, Planted on this still. You forget I do not pay in kind, Kind's not there. For the eyes to see through All that I do. For instance, I don't have to try. I'm falling over all the right lines. We only have to leave this last, Resist all falling at the wrong times. Safe in knowledge, safe in college, I know all there is to know. To have never stepped outside this ring, Fools they flow. For the self-assured I have no cure, I only wish I was. As my entertaining thoughts grow fewer, Stills my cause. For the eyes to see through All that I do. For instance, I don't have to try, I'm falling over all the right lines. We only have to leave this last, Resist all falling at the wrong times. For the accent, for the day, (don't walk just swim) For the incidents they'll happen and they'll happen anyway, (it's gonna pass) When you leave here, leave this way (one last request) You are far enough to be impressed, But not so far to be depressed. Drink your souvenirs and go your way. For instance, I don't have to try, I'm falling over all the right lines. We only have to leave this last, Resist all falling at the wrong times. For instance, I don't have to try, I'm falling over all the right lines. We only have to leave this last, Resist all falling at the wrong times.
everyone always claims that the lyrics go:' If you're feeling fond of feeling wrong', but to me it sounds as if Emma was singing 'If you're feeling fond of feeling wronged', which would, kinda make more sense, no?
Love this song, especially the lyrics. Will you allow me to wax philosophical and ask what folks think is the meaning/significance of the song's title? I'd really be interested in some serious interpretations. Thanks!
Not bad. Growing on me👍 There is some "slightly off-key" singing in both videos I've seen. That's okay-- probably nothing a voice coach couldn't work out. 🤣

I prefer The Great Eastern but Peloton is a cracking album too.

Love this tune!! Takes me back.

I love y'all so much.
I want to go home.
I love this song.. great lyrics, one of Emma's best I think
Oh my god! So incredibly underrated! OH MY GOOOOD!

Essa canção é libertadora. Faz todas as dores explodirem
Song is pretty good - the car is excellent!
i need the delgados come back!!!
Fast forward Jan 2023 and you have them back . ✌️
Just fucking pure dead brilliant! 😂
I'd forgot how great this was-it came on random on my ipod....

Luv!
I'm not sure about the aspect of this brown car. Very horrible or very cool? Anyway, I like the song.
i heard this song at the mall
wow, really? where do you live?
thinking about them makes me feel like someones been killed. they were really something spacial.
wow!
How the *hell* is 2007 17 years ago already?? 🤯
Oh I miss my Delgados stalking past
E volta a me salvar...
@bazmchat well, I have it at #5 single of the 90's, so you are not far out. I also have "No Danger" in th top three tracks of the next decade
Laura...
someone has the chords of this song?
pink floppy!! the delgados are sooo much better
i prefer the cover of it by Six. By Seven
they were great live except the blokes trying to steal the limelight playing stupid percussion instruments...
