Doesn’t seem your cup of tea.
One of my favourite ever bands right there, great song.

I’ve a very varied taste when it comes to tea.

Is that a censored version for MTV or something? In the first verse he says ‘she only sings when she’s on
top’ :grinning:

James- hymn from a village

James supported the Smiths on the Hatful of Hollow tour of Ireland in 1984. I saw them playing the Savoy Bingo Hall in Waterford ( now the Book Centre). I had to thumb a lift from Kilkenny to get there.

I’ve seen James twice and they’re a superb live band, a crying shame that sit down is all most people know and even then it’s almost considered a novelty tune.

Heard a tune off it sounds savage

Beautiful tune from Cope.

Just terrible stuff altogether.

Superb stuff from Bolan.

One of the YouTube comments for this is ‘if God had a voice it would sound like Luke’s’

These lads have the potential to unite the forum like no band before.
I’ll nearly throw up a tune later on if I’m in the mood for a few likes to get me through the day.
