I was drinking coca cola with my mum and dad and 2 brothers. Sadly I lost both the brothers. But.. "I've got their number... written on the back of my hand". Along with a former wife. Mother in law, three employers. And the cops. Top work Jags. Which rhymes with boz scaggs.
It's been decades since I've thought about this tune. Ahhhhh, shades of Tommy Tutone, Bram Tchaikovsky & Harliquin. Yep, this goes into my RocknRollgirl Hall of Fame ; )
I got your number written on the back of my hand! 1979 dating so much sexier than today's "I'll text ya." Ha-ha-ha, no hand holding for you!! .....Great song!
Wow this song is incredible 👏 A band called the jags Back of my hand Released back in '79 Absolutely outstanding 👏 👌 This band sounds certainly like the boomtown rats or the undertones
I'm not a fruit machine a nineteen sixties dream - probably correct... "And in the 'bet you' list i bet you've never seen her" Fecked if I know that is correct. It doesn't make sense. Good Bloomin' effort though
The greatest Elvis Costello hit that Elvis Costello never made. Brilliant.
Shame on you for plagiarizing whoever Wikipedia quoted.
The greatest Easybeats hit thut the Easybeats never made. Marvelous.
The greatest Undertones hit thit the Undertones never made. Sublime.
A quality tune that should have more recognition than it received the fantastic Jag’s . . Hello from Scotland.
I was on holiday when this came out and met a girl called Karen and we fell in love over this song
I remember when this came out, I was13 brilliant song
Classic late 70s Britpop at its very best.
Powerpop maybe?
still super fresh.
Big hit in their native U.K, but only peaked as high as No. 84 on the Billboard Hot 100 here in the States in early 1980.
Underrated song.
Not 'Alf pop pickers".

Each song has meaningful memories and meaning.
I saw the Jags in New Orleans and loved them. It took me years to find this recording, which is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Which venue in New Orleans? Jimmy’s?

Yes! I'm not crazy! (At least, not for thinking this sounds like Thin Lizzy.)

I just decided to hear this as it flashed in my mind for some reason,glad it did.I loved this song in high school and now I know why.Great tune.
Just saw the lead singer on a brit show, 24hours in A&E... "Walk on the wild side" episode..
Takes me back a good few years

Yes that old thing called romance * sigh *
@@wintertontoday Exactly! Texting is so cold - not sexy at all, you can't even hear the person's voice or laughter. A boring way to date.
A really great one-hit wonder
Wow this song is incredible 👏
A band called the jags
Back of my hand
Released back in '79
Absolutely outstanding 👏 👌

Thanks for posting. I have been looking for the correct lyrics for this wonderful record since 1979. Cheers.
fruit machine? no
Fruit machine, yes. It's a kind of slot machine common in British pubs.
It took me literally years to find the cd and a video too!! So worth it though❤️
Stock replies and love not luck
Get Out and read a book!
I always thought the lyric was
“Get Out and Read a Book!” 🤣
Brilliant!
Great
Fan
I forgot about this one. Very early Joe Jackson/Elvis Costello feel...but good...fun!
I think it's My motor's runnin and I don't know what so say now. And it's definitely unreadable.
My money's runnin' out.
Pretty sure I had a girl write her number on my hand while the band was playing this!
Trevor Horn involved too
Anyone else here after watching 24 Hours in A&E ?
😍
