    Lyrics:
    Who's on the seventh floor
    Brewing alternatives
    What's in the bottom drawer
    Waiting for things to give
    Spare us the cutter
    Spare us the cutter
    Couldn't cut the mustard
    Conquering myself
    Until I see another hurdle approaching
    Say we can, say we will
    Not just another drop in the ocean
    Come to the free for all
    With seven tapered knives
    Some of them six feet tall
    We will escape our lives
    Spare us the cutter
    Spare us the cutter
    Couldn't cut the mustard
    Conquering myself
    Until I see another hurdle approaching
    Say we can, say we will
    Not just another drop in the ocean
    Am I the happy loss
    Will I still recoil
    When the skin is lost
    Am I the worthy cross
    Will I still be soiled
    When the dirt is off
    Conquering myself
    Until I see another hurdle approaching
    Say we can, say we will
    Not just another drop in the ocean
    Ocean
    Watch the fingers close
    When the hands are cold
    Am I the happy loss
    Will I still recoil
    When the skin is lost
    Am I the worthy cross
    Will I still be soiled
    When the dirt is off
    Am I the happy loss
    Will I still be soiled
    When the dirt is off

    It's one of the greatest songs of the 80s and indie classic. Saw him the other night at kelvingrove stonking performance by Big Mac

    A lot of negativity in these comments. I think it sounds good. Time goes on and people age, get over it. Still an incredibly cool band.

  • @theselector4733

    To be fair to the band: The mix on this is terrible, it seems the sound was taken direct from the desk and the voice is far too loud compared to the instruments. Also, keyboard is missing (which they could've used for atmosphere and to play the middle eastern influenced lead instead of the guitar). Compare this performance with "Lips like sugar" on Later with Jools or their recent concert in Manchester (mid last yr) and you'll be able to tell they still have it.

      Reasonable speculation is that it's about the butchering record companies do to artists, and the pain from having to compromise.

    The sound is not the band, the weak sound and bad mixing is straight off the mixing deck. . Hence clear but
    weak.

    The drummer is lacking proper timing. A real shame when you consider that you have the privilege to play with these legends. One of the worst drummers I‘ve ever heard. A shame😩

    • @ilikemusic76
      @ilikemusic76 3 года назад +2

      @@kindkidbk let‘s see. Started with 15. 44 now. So around 29 years. But that is not important. Keith Moon had a world career after 5 years of drumming. If its not the lack of timing and dynamics its maybe the kind of attitude and soul. But in this case its a combination of all I would say. But this is just my opinion.
