    Just saw this on TOTP 2. Haven’t heard this since 2000. Just listening to this both elates me and depresses me, elates me in that it is a song that always made me happy, but depresses me in that not not only will something like this never come again, but also how great the 90s truly were. The 21st century for the most part has truly sucked.

    When I was in high school, maybe 15 or 16 years old, I used to have the national radio station on in the background while I'm chilling or studying. I would record some songs that I liked on cassette tapes. Something like a mix tape. There was this one song that caught my attention and it used to be played quite frequently at one point. But somehow I never recorded the full song and finally when I did think of recording it, it was towards the end of the song. After that the radio station never played that song ever again. And I never heard that song ever played anywhere. It bothered me for so many years that I couldn't identify or ever hear that song again. But with that short clip recorded on the cassette tape, about fifteen years later, I converted the cassette audio to digital format. Yet with that short clip I still couldn't use apps like Shazam to identify the song. Every few years, I'll have the song playing in my mind and get really annoyed I couldn't find out who the artist was. The part that stuck in my mind the most was the chorus and the haunting background humming. Also that it was a duet. Today my mind went back to the song again and I decided to try the short clip that I recorded but with Google voice assistant. Or specifically Google sound search. After just 1 try it identified it! It was this song! Oh man the memory of my teenage years started pouring out while listening to it. What's funny was the chorus part that has been playing in my mind for 25 years years which I thought was mysterious and with powerful vocals was just "I could never throw my knickers at you...And I don't come from Wales". Lol. Brilliant song composition with somewhat sad and humorous lyric. I feel like I can die in peace now.

      @@charmedrools1 Agreed, I get OP but for example Bob Dylan was an average singer. Great musician. Amazing writer. Autotune was kinda made for the Bob Dylans of this world.
      Imagine you practice playing a song ten times every day for a year, that's 3650 renditions of varying quality. What's the odds that the best rendition is even caught in a studio?
      Now because of the importance placed on song writing - imagine it's an indefinitely evolving song. So not only is every rendition varying in quality, but also now in content.
      The whole concept of musical production isn't necessarily tied to instrumental ability [voice in this case] and vice-versa - good production and studio work makes a good product, good talent makes a good musician.
      Sorry for the ramble. Not saying it's fact, or hijacking your words. Just my perspective.

      Damn right, been listening to them all day today and it really hit me how much of a great songwriter he is, I think people struggle to appreciate wry lyrics and well written music as though they're mutually exclusive. but you've hit the nail on the head, he creates mood, and even the twiddly excesses of 90's production can't ruin them. I think it's aged better than lots, mainly because he knows how to write a bridge and a chorus.

They're appreciative of him despite Space not being welsh and Cerys not excited enough to throw her knickers at him.

      Dito, I'm from North Wales, and I have been trying to find out if anyone knows what the lyrics mean for 31 years, can you please explain what the lyrics mean because I'm Welsh and I haven't got a clue what this song is about?! I was going to call the marriage guidance to see if they could Help! but my boyfriend tied the phone line round my neck!?

    First heard this song because of the Q Magazine compilation CD from the late 90s. That was an awesome compilation with Blur, Pulp, Spiritualized, Primal Scream and er Robbie Williams.

    *Lyrics*
    What did I do wrong?
    Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo
    Am I really all that bad?
    You're worse than Hannibal Lecter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger
    Why are we still together?
    Oh I can't leave until you're dead
    You mean till death do us part?
    I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head
    It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
    They say that music soothes the savage beast
    There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
    The two of us would surely have ended up dead
    You stopped us from killing each other
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    You'll never know but you saved our lives
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    I could never throw my knickers at you
    And I don't come from Wales
    So haven't solved our problems
    You mean we hate each other's guts
    I still wanna poison your pizza
    And I still wanna cut off your nuts
    I phoned the marriage guidance
    I tied the phone line round your neck
    I'm sick of all this hatred
    Well that will be the arsenic making you sick
    You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
    As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on
    You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes
    It was lucky for us we bought his greatest hits
    You stopped us from killing each other
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    You'll never know but you saved our lives
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    I could never throw my knickers at you
    And I don't come from Wales
    And now the war is over
    I've lost the urge to break your neck
    I owe my life to What's New Pussycat
    Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead
    Oh I used to call you Satan
    And you were Cruella De'Ville
    And now you call me your Delilah
    And I am not your Lucifer
    And I am just your pussycat
    But just a word of warning now
    Just in case we ever get tired of his voice
    I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong
    And I know an atom bomb that's going for a song
    You stopped us from killing each other
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    You'll never know but you saved our lives
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    I could never throw my knickers at you
    And I don't come from Wales
    You stopped us from killing each other
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    You'll never know but you saved our lives
    Tom Jones, Tom Jones
    I could never throw my knickers at you
    And I don't come from Wales
