amen to that. watch "wee day out" youtube video of Danny MacAskill if you're not familiar with it--that's how i came across the song. It's amazing and matches the music perfectly.
If it doesn't make you angry you're a moron. This is is the NHS that you twats have been clapping for. This amazing song writer/performer hits nails squarely on the head.
I'm doing it now, the whole coach just start cheering as soon as it kicked it . Going from Luton Airport to London Victoria, and then Stamford Bridge for the Chelsea vs Wolves game. Ever since this song came out all them years ago, I've always wanted to travel with them, although there's no trolly lady
I love the change in tone when he sings "We're going where the air is free, tomorrow belongs to me" such a beautiful melodic line, it gets me everytime. A great band, just love their sardonic and iconic lyrics, with their catchy melodies, we could with more bands like this.
My 7 year old loves this songs and belts it out as loud as you can imagine and perfectly out of tune haha ffs this world needs to take a long hard look at its self goodness actual f@cking me
Alwsys sing along to it when driving if it comes on the radio - even now I can't get through the whole song without bursting out laughing at some point, the lyrics are bloody hilarious🤣🤣🤣
I actually heard this song on a National Express bus going "darn sarth" back in the day and the radio station and/or National Express bleeped it out!......Sense of humour failure.....
My brother Anthony was a big fan of travelling on the National Express from Pembroke to London to visit family. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago next month and everything I hear this track I think about him. 🙏
I checked, as so many services haven't resumed. Now the service is via Swansea, where there's a connection to the Swansea via Cardiff only, to London. Doubt he would have been such a fan of this route!
@@gillchatfield3231 hi Gill, thank you for your reply. My late brother left Pembroke then Swansea then onto London to meet up with another brother before heading on to Kettering on the national express regularly up till 2 months before he passed away. Not debating the route it's just he loved traveling on The National Express 😁 hence this track brings back memories.
I am going to meet Neil Hannon and say what an absolute legend he is. I have been inside St. Bernard’s Hospital, in Middlesex, myself, in 1981, and this song could have been written for me🎉!!! I love you-Neil Hannon ❤. Up the Irish 🌈🤮👗☘️🍕👍
Neil is part of the wonderful tradition of wordsmiths and music makers that I have grown old with. From Flanders and Swann and Tom Lehrer and including oh so many wonderful talents that unite words, music, wit, sardonic humour and just pure talent.
As a Canadian, when I first arrived in the UK I '85...I couldn't believe there stewardesses on a bus for my 1st trip from London to Wakefield!....this song always takes me right back there!!!
I don’t smile when I watch this. I laugh so much my ribs hurt. An absolute scream. The funniest record I have ever seen and heard. Just a happy , wonderful song. I always feel good after hearing it.
Because genius is very rarely recognised in it's generation. Barring Wuthering Heights even the great Kate wasn't really big back in the 80s let alone the 90s.
This was taken inside of Joyce Green Hospital right by the Dartford crossing, was closed and in-between the closure and all knock down this was made. My wife worked there - originally it was a war hospital, then was a spill over from West Hill hospital. It had horses roaming too and that used to frighten the staff and they waited in their cars. the Hospital moved into a small hospital at Darenth Valley the other side of the M25 (Also known as Death Valley hospital!).
Every morning I walk to the bus station to catch my bus to work. There’s a National Express coach loading at that hour and I ALWAYS hear this song in my head. It’s quite nice actually.
This should be on all the national express adverts and I had many great experiences with national express services. So today I will be going on another coach journey at 11pm. Anything will be better then that 12 hour coach journey from Elubo to Togo/Ghana border overnight journey on an ex-eurolines coach
The thing I remember about travelling with National Express is that as soon as the doors first open, all the old people rush to get on like they're at the Somme going over the top. They'll trample anyone who stands in their way.
I absolutely adore this song ! Proper feel good, make you smile music, that is always played at FULL volume. "To the family man, manhandling the pram, with paternal pride......" What a line !!!!!
The first time I saw The Divine Comedy and this National Express video in particular on the program Planet Rock Profiles (back in 2001)... I was like, wow! It was something I never heard before. Pretty much changed my life and opened me to the world of The Divine Comedy... been a fan ever since. :)
Went to see them live a couple of years ago, still absolutely fantastic, what a voice and so creative, they did a cover of where do you go to my lovely by Peter Starsted that sent chills down my spine and followed up with blue Monday by new order as well as all of their hits. Absolutely fantastic live band.
when I was a kid I didn't understand the appeal of this song and it wasn't until I was about 20 , 10 years after it came out I relised how amazing it was.
I love the "...he's not a bus driver" line at the end, and that whole conversation at the start. Basically saying to the listeners and video viewers "No! It's not about that damn bus/coach company, OK?!!" Haha!
I've been in hospital for the past 10 days and they've played a weird selection of music on hospital radio - including this. I couldn't wait to get out and find out more about it. The video is even better. I've travelled on a lot of NX buses (cheaper than the train) and I've seen these people at first hand. I was on a bus many years ago when a young couple got on in Birmingham at almost midnight. The driver wasn't going to let them on because they looked to be out of their skulls and kicked up a stink when he objected to them but they had valid tickets so he had to. Later, I saw them heading towards the toilets at the back with small bags of powder.
absolutely genius song, so catchy and great lyrics. And then he blows your mind all over again with the video. Layer upon layer of perfection, this is the one, the best music vid ever
Danny's Wee Day Out brought me here, and just wow... What a delight to "discover" a singer/songwriter you've never once heard of before, who has a couple decades of great stuff waiting to be explored...! I've probably played this on repeat 20-30 times in the last 3 days. Toe-tapping, get-up-and-dance music... Can't wait for the air to be free again!
One of my favourites of all time... Mind you, took the National Express so many time (Cardiff to Heathrow) never seen a jolly hostess selling crisps and tea...
I loved this song as a kid and was very excited to take my very first National Express as a teenager lol. The sheen wore off somewhat in my mid-20s when they put me on the direct coach to Glasgow instead of the one that stopped at Preston. I woke up somewhere near Carlisle and despite pleading, the driver would not let me off, so that was my first visit to Scotland lol

The eclectic brilliance of 1990s Britpop stems from the intellectual freedom of its songwriters, whose imaginations were fertile enough that they could take inspiration from anything and everything. I'll bet my eyebrows that we never hear some X Factory wannabe singing about National Express coaches, hiding inside a female friend's big sister's wardrobe or being caught by the fuzz while still on a buzz.
@@scottde-walden2760 not sure why you're bringing x factor into it. Whilst the britpop thing was happening so was boyzone, robson and jerome etc shit pop has always been around. trouble is there doesn't seem to be any good guitar bands in the charts anymore. I know people will say 'who cares about the mainstream' but i feel like what is in the charts has an effect on people because you'll hear it everywhere- on tv, on the radio, in the shops etc
When i heard someone say.. 'She said'. I immediately thought 'theres something in the woodshed' and BANG! Remembered a classic so here i am happy af 2 songs deep in a Devine Comedy dive😁
I went on a Greyhound to NYC 22 years ago and there was no hostess! It reminded me of 'Midnight Cowboy film.Everyone should see that film.If you don't cry at the end of the film you have no soul!
If you dont smile when you hear this song you must be on another planet........Proper feel good music. And we need that so much right now.
Grant Tully, 100% agree with that, this song brings back so many happy memories for me. 🙂
Yeah I really couldn't agree more with you
amen to that. watch "wee day out" youtube video of Danny MacAskill if you're not familiar with it--that's how i came across the song. It's amazing and matches the music perfectly.
Wasn't there an alternative video where the hostess walked between the aisle of a bus?
If it doesn't make you angry you're a moron.
This is is the NHS that you twats have been clapping for.
This amazing song writer/performer hits nails squarely on the head.
Going on my first National Express trip today. Safe to say I will blast this song

Cool 😊
Now when I hear it driving home it bloody annoys me. This songs make it sound happy when in general people who get on destroy the coach.
The line "When your arse is the size of a small country" never fails to crack me up!
I actually heard this song on a National Express bus going "darn sarth" back in the day and the radio station and/or National Express bleeped it out!......Sense of humour failure.....

Up the Irish 🌈🤮👗☘️🍕👍
This was filmed in Joyce Green hospital in Dartford
He is Northern Irish prod.
Easily one of the top 20 best songs ever written
Did you see the documentary he made for bbc hes some guy
Are you serious 😂😂 I’m not a fan personally but even if it was something I really liked, there’s no way it could go into a top 20. Come on now pal
I predict his best is yet to come
Don't be so ridiculous
Dear God - I dread to imagine your music collection!
Neil is part of the wonderful tradition of wordsmiths and music makers that I have grown old with. From Flanders and Swann and Tom Lehrer and including oh so many wonderful talents that unite words, music, wit, sardonic humour and just pure talent.
Billy Joel is a brilliant pianist, composer and wordsmith.
Don’t forget Gilbert o Sullivan ! His first album himself ! Apple 🍏 it
I would love to hear him cover some of Lehrer 's wotk.
As a Canadian, when I first arrived in the UK I '85...I couldn't believe there stewardesses on a bus for my 1st trip from London to Wakefield!....this song always takes me right back there!!!
Exactly the same for me and when I heard this song for the first time and every other time I guess a smile was brought to my face.
Lucky Lucky
Stewardesses on a bus to Wakey WOW. You need to watch the Yorkshire Airlines sketch
Neil Hannon for prime minister. He makes great music, he writes great words and he knows how to treat a nurse!!! Long my he run!!
I don’t smile when I watch this. I laugh so much my ribs hurt. An absolute scream. The funniest record I have ever seen and heard. Just a happy , wonderful song. I always feel good after hearing it.
There's part of me that wonders why this band wasn't so bigger than it was. I so loved hearing them on TFI Friday and thinking 'This is the fkn life!'
Because genius is very rarely recognised in it's generation. Barring Wuthering Heights even the great Kate wasn't really big back in the 80s let alone the 90s.
Its a crime this has only 1.2 million views.......im responsible for 1000 plus myself
Yes Brother! x
Can’t help but sing along. Neil is truly a poet for the ages
This was taken inside of Joyce Green Hospital right by the Dartford crossing, was closed and in-between the closure and all knock down this was made. My wife worked there - originally it was a war hospital, then was a spill over from West Hill hospital. It had horses roaming too and that used to frighten the staff and they waited in their cars. the Hospital moved into a small hospital at Darenth Valley the other side of the M25 (Also known as Death Valley hospital!).

🤣🤣🤣
Everytime I hear National Express mentioned this song Starts in my head. Brilliant stuff.
Wow, I've only ever heard the song. This video is magic.
What a cleverly written song , just brilliant . I never get tired of listening to this
Sgo 🍿 al 🐝🥊
This should be on all the national express adverts and I had many great experiences with national express services. So today I will be going on another coach journey at 11pm. Anything will be better then that 12 hour coach journey from Elubo to Togo/Ghana border overnight journey on an ex-eurolines coach
I never fail to hear this song in my head when I see a National Express bus, and it never fails to make me smile 😊
Probably the greatest song ever written, lyric wise. Absolute genius.
The thing I remember about travelling with National Express is that as soon as the doors first open, all the old people rush to get on like they're at the Somme going over the top. They'll trample anyone who stands in their way.
Then halfway through the journey, they'd get their egg sarnies out and complained if you opened the windows..Ahh the memories..
First ones on usually had reserved seats!😉
A profoundly philosophical song about public discourse, sophistry, politics and press conferences- amongst other things.
I miss you guys! We need more crazy weird and happy music like this in our lives xxx
You don't have to miss them, they're still around producing some wonderful music!
I got lost coming here searching for The Silent Comedy. I'd never heard of this band before. This song is an absolute banger! I freaking love this!
A genius song. A perfect combo of catchy, dark, and very poignant. Even after the ECT he still thinks he's driving the National Express!!
This song makes me get in such a good mood every time I hear it. So many brilliant lyrics. Never gets old ❤❤❤
I absolutely adore this song ! Proper feel good, make you smile music, that is always played at FULL volume.
"To the family man, manhandling the pram, with paternal pride......" What a line !!!!!
The line " when she danced down the aisle back in 63" conjures a wonderful image in the imagination 😄
In real life he is a gentleman and is incredible to see and hear live.
I think Neil's a very underrated singer , he could have definitely have held his own in the sixties with Scott Walker , Gene Pitney etc 🤔
For a skinny guy, he's go a good voice.
…and even with this little-known guy called Jim Morrison. Has no one heard of him in these comments? He’s a sound-alike!
The first time I saw The Divine Comedy and this National Express video in particular on the program Planet Rock Profiles (back in 2001)... I was like, wow! It was something I never heard before. Pretty much changed my life and opened me to the world of The Divine Comedy... been a fan ever since. :)
I can’t stop playing this song everyday, when having a bad day this song is bring a smile a warmth in heart
The video is just fantastic!
The smoothness of the orderly accepting his money and subtly putting it back into his wallet before putting the wallet away is just beautiful.
My lovely horse running through the fields.......

Absolutely fantastic live band.
Yeah he does a very classic and great voice.
If Neil was knocking about in the 60s he would have been huge ( Windmills of my mind etc ) ....
If anyone has been on a national express, you know how sarcastic this song is 😂
It's not that bad if you take a trip to Scotland!
I cant look at a national express coach without thinking of this song and smiling 😂
I saw a meme on Fb with a bus with National Express, so I came looking for this song. lol
I was a national express driver late 80’s early 90’s. the image this creates is spot on! I never could figure out those bloody push chairs!
This song would have been an absolute Eurovision winner.
Singing Detective (original British version) + "Carry-on" films = This wonderful mish-mash of lunacy. Love this, always will.
I am just now discovering this band and I'm highly furious that it's taking this bloody long. Absolutely brilliant!
me to , and them is irish ffs like me ,, so thort with that accent them was from York lol
when I was a kid I didn't understand the appeal of this song and it wasn't until I was about 20 , 10 years after it came out I relised how amazing it was.
Love Neil Hannon's voice - not unlike Matt Monroe - would love to hear him sing some classics x Great track
love matt monroe..sinatra even said his voice is sublime.
This is therapy for me, put my headphones on & for a few beautiful minutes i am lost
Ive always gotten a kick out of seeing/hearing that booming baritone coming out of that little tow headed fella. Love him.

@@boofuls Thanks for chiming in. Always nice to touch base with Divine Comedy fans. A rare bird in U.S., I've found.
Incredible isn't it? Seen him live a few times and it's even more astounding!
Comic lyrics distract people from the fact that he can really sing.
@@george474747 Maybe so. Not in my case, however. Hes almost as good a singer as Scott himself. Almost. :)

Telegothika Telgothika though he did think of it whilst on a national express coach 😂 and got the idea for the lyrics
What is it about?
Drugs from the National Health Service
That's right, he's a coach driver :P
I have a National Express ticket booked to a gig in Manchester in December. And when I'm on the bus I won't be able to not think about this song lol.

Lost everything, seconds away from going proper "national express" thanks Neil for saving me
This was, remains, and always will be the best video to a song! Nothing to touch it!

Brilliant, reminds me of a UK TV drama called the singing detective, what a hoot that was 😂
One of my favourites of all time... Mind you, took the National Express so many time (Cardiff to Heathrow) never seen a jolly hostess selling crisps and tea...
They used to, been many years since they had them. I remember them selling pot noodles.
I loved this song as a kid and was very excited to take my very first National Express as a teenager lol. The sheen wore off somewhat in my mid-20s when they put me on the direct coach to Glasgow instead of the one that stopped at Preston. I woke up somewhere near Carlisle and despite pleading, the driver would not let me off, so that was my first visit to Scotland lol

Take the National Express when your life's in a mess
It'll make you smile
All human life is here
From the feeble old dear to the screaming child
From the student who knows that to have one of those
Would be suicide
To the family man
Manhandling the pram with paternal pride
And everybody sings, "Ba-ba-ba-da"
We're going where the air is free
On the National Express there's a jolly hostess
Selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks
For a sky-high fee
Mini-skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle
Back in '63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country
And everybody sings, "Ba-ba-ba-da"
We're going where the air is free
Tomorrow belongs to me
When you're sad and feeling blue
With nothing better to do
Don't just sit there feeling stressed
Take a trip on the National Express
On the National Express, let's go
Funny timeless tune!
He sang this at Glasgow Concert Hall on Wedneday night. Was fab.
A fantastic song well written, great vocals, and a video that make you smile everytime..

Always loved how he sings "crisps and tea" ❤️
I agree with Adam H. Well done Neil ! Amazing musical authority like this deserves an OBE.
I love the part where his wife exclaims 'He's not a bus driver'. In my head it's in horror and disgust. Coach driver!, she's thinking!
I never thought of this song in this way. Never thought of it in any other way but literal !
He's unarguably the best!! Es un genio total y muy simpático!

Yet again The Diving Comedy has saved my day 😅😊
This song always makes me sing along to it whenever I hear it.
And dance like nobody is watching
Neil is a brilliant lyricist.☺️
21 years later. still going strong.. And thank you for introducing me to Tori Amos in 1992.
Tomorrow belongs to me. A brilliant line from Neil Hannon.
He’s like Doctor Who going through a regeneration. I think he’d make a brilliant 14th doctor.
You know the UK had other shows that aren't Doctor Who, right?
OMG, I thought this was Scott Walker, after he went off the charts (and off the rails)!!!
Best intro....ever...
Divine comedy, from the ancient Greek, a comedy was merely a story ..
poking fun at cosily out of date UK institutions is one of neil hannon's favourite pastimes, and his delivery here is perfectly judged.
