Just takes one To make success Excellent song ❤ Especially back then It made me smile Was my first date ❤ She had a beautiful smile Thanks Steve for the song First love ❤ Thanks Steve ❤
Hey Steve....It's one of the most brilliant songs ever - that's what it is. Wow, talk about getting your message across to your EX band members about who writes the songs!
After hearing the story behind this song, I had trouble reconciling the line, "I'll do what you want, running wild". Didn't seem to jibe with the "band ultimatum" and dissolution that Steve was describing in the interview. To me, that line sounded like Steve was telling them he had changed his mind and was now willing to do whatever they wanted - i.e., to let them in on the songwriting. It was only after Googling the lyrics that I discovered that it's actually "...OR do what you want..." which of course makes perfect sense. Like Steve said, it's him saying, "Oh, you can write songs too? Well, go do it then." Sort of a Fleetwood Mac "you can go your own way" sentiment.
Awesome funny how lyrics without knowing the songwriters personal reasons for the song can take on a personal interpretation of there own .Guess thats why music appeals to the masses .LOVE YOUR WORK
back in the70s had all his lps,make me smile his only commercial recording, which must have been a accidental faux pas, dident know what it ment till i heard it in one of his songs. But anyway back then his songs where so sophisitcated my knowledge of them allowed me to influence many friends and introducturies . This was done honestly by my share appreciation of this mans poetic ability . wrote what he wanted kept it true . Iam assuming this was always mr hs intention .Luv to discus this with him, as the great man said all the men are hungry and we are all insearch of time. Be it past or future.
I'm sure he is. I don't know what got into me last night. I had a whole self-constructed universe going on all on my lonesome, with some delusions of grandeur thrown in. I apologise to Steve and geligniteandlilies. No, no one should be with themselves as much as I am. Sad twat am I alone
That meant that late at night or nearing the end of celebrations I couldn't decipher a thing she was saying. My man is from London and has a weird hybrid of accents...his parents were Welsh and raised him in the toff-ier parts of London, but he went wild in the east end and spent a lot of time there running pubs and doing drugs etc. I have no idea why I'm talking about him...it's a bit off-off topic. Anyway, all the best
no I look more like a young Ruby Wax. as for brit regional accents, it's like anywhere really, a slightly different accent in each city/area. Compare a scottish accent (north) to a southern / london accent, & then you could sort of say that other accents are 'in between'
I know there are are a multitude of regional variations over there. In Australia we haven't had the time to develop many...it usually just degenerates into the same sloppy slang eventually with a few "mates" thrown on the end of the odd sentence. There isn't much diversity. I love the Welsh accent. My Grandmother had a thick Scots accent, and had a love of the wiskey.
Insightful! Thanks for being part of the soundtrack of my life Steve.
Write a brilliant song like this and you'll live forever; the song is here to stay :)
Thanks for the music 🙏😢
Just takes one
To make success
Excellent song ❤
Especially back then
It made me smile
Was my first date ❤
She had a beautiful smile
Thanks Steve for the song
First love ❤
Thanks Steve ❤
Seen a couple of times and the result was the same each time. The band played, the crowd sang their hearts out and all was right with the world.
Pleasantly honest. Refreshingly honest. Sure had it's impact back then. Thanks!

Excellent song Steve! Was16 when it came out, love it even more now that it is attached to Ylvis video. Wish u well.
Maakt deel uit van mijn leven Dit nummer maakt me blij. Ook met mijn zoon die uit het leven is gestapt, delen we dit;
Got to be the best song of the 70s
Thank you Alan Parsons for suggesting the up tempo theme for 'Come up and see me' we owe you man :)
Great original and so is the Wedding Present version.
2:02 Hahaha. I love him. He's so funny and honest.
Alan Parsons, again.
Genius.

His wig is the best. Love it. Steve is great.
I thought he was fantastic when I was young..RIP ..
1982 duran duran realizo tambien un cover en vivo
The interviewer is a bang
For what its worth , I heard it was left with Steve & the Drummer who just wanted to play & knew what side his bread was buttered.
I met him and he was positively lovely and very kind. Depends on who someone's with huh? :)
The first record I ever brought in Australia 1975 , wot a pisser.
What's wrong with it?
YOU'VE GOT A BIG FAN IN ME, BEING BITCHIE IS RIGHT, YOU WRITE BRILLIANT SONGS
Very nice. Do you have the look of Sean Connery about you? How many British regional accents are there, I wonder?
go ten miles in any direction, the accent will change slightly, go 20 and you can definitely hear the difference
go 30 and you're fucked :-)
I'm sure he is. I don't know what got into me last night. I had a whole self-constructed universe going on all on my lonesome, with some delusions of grandeur thrown in. I apologise to Steve and geligniteandlilies. No, no one should be with themselves as much as I am. Sad twat am I alone
cause you can't escape the voice
i see you in berlin huxleys jr. i love
it michael ernst club berlin
what's the name of the instrumental song at 02:10, please any help¿?¿?¿?¿? Steve is amazing in this song!!!!! Make me smile!!!!!!
Muse - Bliss
In my mind he succeeds both Lennon and McCartney
from the way the song is sung I was expecting a cockney wideboy accent
do you have one o those accents?
HAs Steve Harley had a hair transplant? He must be one of the few people who actually has more hair on his head later in life than in his youth.
It's a hair system
What has his hair got to do with the song so rude ..

Is he wearing a syrup?
It's good innit, you can't tell :-)

Sounds more like his Ego was running the band. Just because he wrote a song about it, doesn’t excuse his Ego.
