John got to 47 in the Bulgarian top 50 chart with this song and did a short tour of the seaside coast just outside Bourgas. Many hotels banned desserts from their A LA CARTE menus when the tour was finished. A fitting tribute from the Bulgarain tourist industry
His satchel throwing strop dressed in his anorak Batman style was the best thing ever when I was a kid. You got to say 'slag' and not get told off because it was in a song. Trying to explain this to my 18yo student daughter is kind of hard.
Mahalia Jackson with a retro gospel version would be the peak. Or perhaps a Sabbath version? After all, their songs have been re-recorded as jazz numbers so why not?
Thare are no words, not in my lexicon at least, that can adequately describe the sheer emotional power and potency of both this song and John's effortlessly perfect delivery of it. I thought I had achieved the zenith of artistic satisfaction after listening to Jim Bowen's interpretation of Bright Eyes, but this tear-jerking masterpiece takes takes it to a wholy new, and as yet uncharted level. My life is now complete. Thank you.
Stupendous amalgam of low-fi stop frame animation and handycam recording. Surely this is the number one John and his fans have been waiting for all these years?
Heart rendering... if only Karen piped up before the pudding was put on the table. The Bontempi somehow wraps up the emotion beautifully and I now wipe a tear from my eyes... We can all learn from this.
The first 2 Def Leppard albums (as well as one or two tracks on the third album) are awesome - sounds like you have only heard their more commercial stuff that came later ? Love John too by the way.
"Ah can't go back, I won't go back, I'd love to go back but I mustn't do that" History in the making -consider the bar for emotional expression through the medium of music well and truly raised.
I can only hold Mary Johns Wife in nothing but the highest esteem ...the fact that she did not mention there was a cheese Board and After Eights waiting by the bread bin shows the true humbling nature of the female experience..profundity experienced in the mundeity. .
i only saw this song recently and it's brilliant!! what a classic. it's a pity that it isn't broadcast on radio as i'm sure a lot of people would love it(although just in case, better just air it on radio 3 or 4) . Great song!!
Brilliant. John covers a terrible dilemma in such a poignant way. Some strong lessons to be learnt too - especially if you have children that eat slower than you.
Saw him this week at Tyne Theatre, brilliant funny show, a show you can take all ages along to and you know nothing unsavoury (I thank you) will be said.
Oh my goodness, even after all these years this is still so relatable! Though over the Christmas period it's much easier to bend the rules as there's the non-stop conveyor belt of food to get through.
As with all Mr Shuttleworth's songs, you have to play this one a few times before the REAL meaning behind the seemingly innocent lyrics hits you. Then - it's P-O-W !!!!!!!
Next time, John, instead of giving it to the dog, ask Mary to cover the left-over shepherd's pie with clingfilm, pop it in the fridge, and you can have it next day for your lunch. (If you're not at the garden centre cafe with Ken).
I, for one, deeply sympathize with Mr Shuttleworth and his dilemma, and sincerely hope he finds a resolution to this culinary conflict before long. Some of you gawkers could do with showing some consideration to a man in such evident distress. It's the sort of thing that could afflict any one of us at any time.
John's intense & achingly beautiful lament has overwhelmed me. I might have to go on a Buddhist retreat to meditate on this all-encompassing anguish. OOF!
I am a normal professional guy .. went to work today .. and could not stop this tune in my head ... great .,. J.S. and thaks to newfaces for posting .... I cant go back ... i,d love to back . ......... where are we placed for Eurovision entry ??? could win ... catchy as feck . thanks to all responsible
Should come with a health warning: "Beware - you could die laughing!" Or perhaps I'm the only other person with such a warped sense of humour. Truly magnificent!
truly truly marvelous, the man is a legend. See the 500 bus stops dvd if you ever need cheering up: Like Sting John is going green in a big way, eating tracker bar, which is organic and drinking lucozade - which is isotonic and cares for the environment

is this true ?
finally a singer song writer that writes about important issues that REALLY affect us - the things that really matter....
I know this is comedy, but am I the only one who could listen to this music all day? Geez maybe I'm cracking up. Go John lol
How about John Otway too?
Such pathos and so moving.
I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop.
His satchel throwing strop dressed in his anorak Batman style was the best thing ever when I was a kid. You got to say 'slag' and not get told off because it was in a song. Trying to explain this to my 18yo student daughter is kind of hard.
I was thinking this is the guy from Jilted John!
So it is, in fact him?
absolute classic, one of the unrecognized stars of british entertainment
I cannot get this song out of my mind.Its affecting my work and everything.
Any luck ?
@@OldManTony789 I'll let you know in 15 years.
@@divlinoI love this. See you in 2038. All the best x
Complete despair..heart wrenchin' story of a man in turmoil
The key change in this song is EPIC
Surely one of the greatest ballads ever written. I would love to hear Lionel Ritchie cover it.
Mahalia Jackson with a retro gospel version would be the peak. Or perhaps a Sabbath version? After all, their songs have been re-recorded as jazz numbers so why not?
Celine Deon or Ken Boothe for me
@@jontalbot1 Gospel would be great
@@hudcrauf Excellent, Celine would make it a fill on lung belter and Ken might reggaefi if a little
This is sadder than Candle In The Wind.
Most things are.
It goes well with Gin.
I want this played at my funeral.
A truly heartfelt depiction of a tragic scenario
This comment cheers me up every time I see it!

Beautiful.
Our wedding song.
I'm loving it in southern Alabama.
Savoury not slavery ;)
+cranebeg I detest slavery.
n2dabloo Only a joke.
nice !
Went to see John last night at Liverpool Empire. Underrated comedy gold!
As I'm crying into my Angel Delight this is something I can relate to, achingly beautiful.
Butterscotch?
Angel Delight or Bird's Instant Whip was another poignant dilemma, oof...
Banana.......surely🍌
This lovely man keeps my black dog at bay, everyday x

how can anyone not like this ?
Easily - it's crap.
no. you're crap
i do
luke quinn no its great
@@unlokia incorrect its amazing
A common dilemma, beautifully observed and sensitively portrayed
His songs are truly inspired!, who else would have come up with this. Real talent
Heartbreaking; John, it must have been hard for you to write about this, I have been their too, and your song gives me comfort. Thank you.
Wise words from the maestro even Keith Richards knows the dangers, how easily we are tempted.
John is timeless - and I mean that. Clever alter ego, means he looks the same as he did 20 years ago. This genius will never die.
Brings a tear to the eye even after all these years of listening
Sheffield you're forgiven for Def Leppard, this gentleman's organ is a national treasure
absolutely hilarious top comment ! hahahaha
OOF!
Lysteria
Oof...eh, you've gone a bit blue with your ill-considered comment young man.
The first 2 Def Leppard albums (as well as one or two tracks on the third album) are awesome - sounds like you have only heard their more commercial stuff that came later ?
Love John too by the way.
"Ah can't go back, I won't go back, I'd love to go back but I mustn't do that"

Cos you can't, can you?
I remember when he performed at Preston Guild Hall after a TV appearance. I never went.
nor did I
You tell quite an anecdote....
@@lucyschoon5585 Pithy.All the hallmarks of a Northern story.
I feel like I've experienced something so British it has changed me forever.
I can only hold Mary Johns Wife in nothing but the highest esteem ...the fact that she did not mention there was a cheese Board and After Eights waiting by the bread bin shows the true humbling nature of the female experience..profundity experienced in the mundeity. .
"Stunning, thought provoking, voice of a generation" NME 10/10
tull, lennon, zeppelin, shuttleworth, british legends of rock. this song is so before its time, classic rock at its best.
A soulful performance of real depth from Sheffield's premier singer/songwriter. Iconic.
A man who deals in truth, pure, honest truth. A leader of men.
i only saw this song recently and it's brilliant!! what a classic. it's a pity that it isn't broadcast on radio as i'm sure a lot of people would love it(although just in case, better just air it on radio 3 or 4) .
Great song!!
There is something so deeply Spiritual about this❤😢..A very meaningful song.We should all live by the lyrics
Brilliant. John covers a terrible dilemma in such a poignant way. Some strong lessons to be learnt too - especially if you have children that eat slower than you.
😂
Saw him this week at Tyne Theatre, brilliant funny show, a show you can take all ages along to and you know nothing unsavoury (I thank you) will be said.

I shed a tear everytime i hear this Beautiful song.
The wonderful world of Mr Shuttleworth.
As with all Mr Shuttleworth's songs, you have to play this one a few times before the REAL meaning behind the seemingly innocent lyrics hits you.
Then - it's P-O-W !!!!!!!
I think you mean.. Then it's OOOOF
I too saw this as a metaphor for life choices. I certainly can’t go back to ‘savoury’ now.
We've all been there John, you said it better than anyone could. Deep
My name brought me here. Outstanding!
I can't believe how emotional this song made me.
that drum break gets me every time... legend
best song ever
Wildest exaggeration ever ;-)
unlokia
Best response to a comment ever!
The best song ever!!!!
Genius! Unbridled genius!
I am in love with John Shuttleworth.
a true work of art
i just cant stop listening to this.Its a total classic!!
Heartbreaking. We understand John.
That was STUNNING
THIS CRACKS ME UP !!
tears protruding down my face...
Beautiful song! He's very clever ......
Laughed so much I didn't think my trousers would ever dry out.....ooer.
A very moving tribute to one of life's trials and tribulations
Next time, John, instead of giving it to the dog, ask Mary to cover the left-over shepherd's pie with clingfilm, pop it in the fridge, and you can have it next day for your lunch. (If you're not at the garden centre cafe with Ken).
What a tune
Saw him at Big Chill and then the following week at vintage - what a star!
I, for one, deeply sympathize with Mr Shuttleworth and his dilemma, and sincerely hope he finds a resolution to this culinary conflict before long.

John's intense & achingly beautiful lament has overwhelmed me. I might have to go on a Buddhist retreat to meditate on this all-encompassing anguish. OOF!
The saddest song about Shepherds Pie, I ever heard. I feel your pain.
A truly moving and tragic ballad. Love the enoesque keyboard!
This guy is a total genius.
I am a normal professional guy .. went to work today .. and could not stop this tune in my head ... great .,. J.S. and thaks to newfaces for posting .... I cant go back ... i,d love to back . ......... where are we placed for Eurovision entry ??? could win ... catchy as feck . thanks to all responsible
Just came across this fella today . Tremendous 😂😂
Hehe i'm back for another listen. This song has become legendary in my house & gets sung quite a lot, even by the 4 year old :D
Agreed, divlino. It's going round my head at the most inappropriate moments! I think it's the pure raw emotion!
I was singing this in work lastnight ! lol
GENIUS!
Heartbreakingly sad. We played it at me Grans funeral.
Spot on John....
Greatest track of them all John.
Absolutely heartbreaking stuff. );
Love this song... can't believe I'd not heard it before last night.
aaa haha seen him live a few times - genius - pigeons in fliiiiiiight!!!
Should come with a health warning: "Beware - you could die laughing!" Or perhaps I'm the only other person with such a warped sense of humour. Truly magnificent!
meat and three veg + pudding the Shuttleworth family are eating well the royalty money must be rolling in
Oof what a heart breaker of a song, very moving indeed...
Profound, so profound, we've all been there and suffered. John, I feel your pain
John Shuttleworth, the thin man of genius that's been struggling to get out of me for years...'.I'd love to go back!!!'
Seen him live a couple times, the real og!
Both times life is like a salad bar went off !
saw him live a couple of months ago ... thanks sis! a legend in his own lunchtime - and funny as fuck .. and there was a full house ..
Raw, brave and brutally honest. Given current events it also seems eerily prophetic. Should be taught in schools.
This is the greatest song in the universe
Awesome seamless key change @ 3:24!
So good , intellegent humour without inneundo or crassness in it.Wonderfull to someone like me.
fletcher christian Check out John Shuttleworths 500 bus stops episodes from the 90's if you haven't already, all on youtube thanks to some chap
+Ged Rooney Not to mention Europigeon :)
6581punk Never seen it! I'm on it now! Cheers
Saw him live in Liverpool. Fantastic.
He CANT go back, he WONT go back, he'd LOVE to go back, but he MUSTN'T do that!!
Oof, a bit like Meatloaf. He's gone a bit quiet, hasn't he?
Sheffield ❤️
After listening to this I will never go back to savoury
A heart wrenching epic !! LOL !
truly truly marvelous, the man is a legend. See the 500 bus stops dvd if you ever need cheering up: Like Sting John is going green in a big way, eating tracker bar, which is organic and drinking lucozade - which is isotonic and cares for the environment
It's so true, so true. You can't go back!
Love what I hear. Subtitles for us old deaf ears please
Tour again soon please!
