Cerys accent does it for me...
Great song ....anyone watching during the pandemic, 2021?
Yes, and remembering their last gig in Norwich where Tommy also came into the audience :D
August 31st 2021 north west England UK 🇬🇧 00:50 :) better times back then.
Every week!! & I sing it too my pets...
@@JohnSmith-eb3ql Pre the new world order 🇬🇧
This is such a unique song. I absolutely love it!
Buy Spiders
It's like a Bond song or maybe more to the Austin Powers Bond way. But i fully agree, it's unique and enjoyable :)
Unique?! It's ripping off half the James Bond themes!
@@YeOldeSpellbooke If it sounds like something else it's not unique (which literally means "one of a kind").
James Bond theme tunes never have lyrics like this. Amazing piece of musical drama.
Forgot how good this song was I'd Forgot about this song until it came on the radio tonight it's still good anyone listening to it in 2022?
Whoever decided to put these together absolute genius love this fun song.
I was in yr 8 remember it well ! School bus listings to LW 252 😂
I remember this being on the radio all the time when I was younger. Sooo good! Music just isn’t like this anymore.
Fuckin brilliantly done by Cerys/Space,Great song.
Space had something unique, i loved them when I was 18, listened to them all the time.. such a shame they ended the way they did with some sad stories connected. When music makes u smile, you know it’s good ☺️
My mate was keen on them as well, I did like their stuff myself, though I wasn't into music very seriously. Tommy has a different look to his usual 90s one in this clip, I think it suits him!
BramTheBlackpoolFan what were the sad stories?. I saw them in Wigan two days ago. They were brilliant!. Love them!.
I seen them in the smellens ,they were boss .Tommy come on swigging a bottle of wine 😎
A band who changes every 5 mins isn't "unique", they're "Schizophrenic"
They had that scouse wit and introspection. Nothing else like it in the world.
I love cerys' voice ❤️
What a song!
Brilliant song brings back lots of memories
This reminds me of when I started my flying lessons ! Great year for music 🎧
In the 90's that could be either a literal statement about seeking a pilot's license or a euphemism for starting your adventures in the world of drugs. So, are you now an accomplished pilot or a 45 year old with some incredibly crazy memories? 🤣
Let us hope it reminds you of crashing too!
Seen Space in Liverpool recently.... absolutely amazing!! Put on a brilliant show and I've got to say we're probably better than they were in the 90's. You won't regret going to see them.
miss this music
what a great performances.
I bloody love this song
Great. Saw Space in Preston last Friday - they were great. Tommy was insane coming into the audience several times and also managed to get someone to sing Cerys's part (I was wondering about that).
Janet Broadley I saw them then too - best gig I’ve been to in a while!
They’re still going??? :O
@@bramtheblackpoolfan6922 Yes, I saw them in Preston in late September.
@@eastend59 Where did they play, 53 degrees?
@@daveparr6751 Preston Guild Hall
Piano composition is Profound.
You telling me? day 3 of waking up to hearing it in my head, my partner is getting a little vexed 😂😂 ill dig out a Tom Jones album...
Wasn't a huge fan of Space, til I saw them live at T In The Park '98. They were absolutely brilliant. Luckily enough, Catatonia were playing the same day, so Cerys came out to do this song with Space. One of the highlights of T that year.
So jealous!
quality 90s
❤️ love it
i just learned about space and i can't stop listening to them T ^ T
Awesum....omg
I forgot about this song.....noice!
Fantastic song.
She is so good, God bless her.
Classic
Classic! 👍🏻
Genius!
Superb
Jaman SMA berani2 nya nge cover lagu ieu.. hese bossss..
Remember this quite a regular song on broadband 102
not sure why this is called "ballad of tom jones" but i LOVE it anyway.
Because they are singing about how the music of Tom Jones saved their relationship (ie "You stopped us from killing eachother...Tom Jones,Tom Jones....Youll never know but you saved our lives") The song is a story which is why its called a ballad.
I think the clue is in the lyrics.. Tom Jones Tom Jones!!
Lots of references and nods to Tom Jones' songs in there too
lol at the tom jones background screen
1:25 knickers 😂😂
Pretty Big Knickers
@@trollface1994 Coffee came out of my nose when I saw that
Wow
2022
tell me theres more (in here YT) featuring this band than 2 hits and this please? theres gotta be
Dark clouds, neighborhood
@@Thoushaltplaymore Thank you
@@lanslater isle of white festival full gig, lots of other stuff too. Just search space the band
Ofc I did search such at the time - but back then, there was an astonishingly thin result of 2 songs
Ceriyus
What did I do wrong?
Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo
Am I really all that bad?
You're worse than Hannibal Lecter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger
Why are we still together?
Oh I can't leave until you're dead
You mean 'til death do us part?
I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head
It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
They say that music soothes the savage beast
There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
The two of us would surely have ended up dead
[Chorus]
You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You'll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales
StillI haven't solved our problems
You mean we hate each others guts
Still wanna poison your pizza
And I still wanna cut off your nuts
I phoned the marriage guidance
I tied the phone line round your neck
I'm sick of all this hatred
Well that will be the arsenic making you sick
You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on
You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes
It was lucky for us we bought his greatest hits
[Repeat Chorus]
And now our war is over
I've lost the urge to break your neck
I owe my life to What's New Pussycat
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead
Oh I used to call you Satan
And you were Cruella De'Ville
And now you call me your Delilah
And I am not your lucifer
And I am just your pussycat
But just a word of warning now
Just in case we ever get tired of his voice
I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong
And I know an atom bomb that's going for a song
And introduced by Mr cokehead
Lyrics
The Ballad Of Tom Jones
What did I do wrong?
Oh, you nearly drove me cuckoo
I am really all that bad?
You're worse than Hannibal Lecter,
Charlie Manson, Freddy Krueger
Why are we still together?
Oh, I can't leave you
Till you're dead
You mean
Till death do us part
I mean like cyanide,
Strangulation or an axe through your head
It was lucky for us
I turned the radio on
They say that music soothes
The savage beast
There was something in that voice
That stopped us seeing red
The two of us would've surely
Have ended up dead
You stopped us from killing each other
(Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
You'll never know but you saved our lives
(Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
I've never thrown my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales
Still haven't solved our problems
You mean we hate each other's guts
Still want to poison your pizza
And I still want to cut off your guts
I've phoned the marriage guidance
I've tied the phone-line
Round your neck
I'm sick of all this hatred
Oh, that'll be the arsenic
Making you sick
You were about to drive me
Over the edge of a cliff
As I tried to jump out
I knocked the stereo on
You changed your mind
And then slammed on the brakes
It was lucky for us
We bought his greatest hits
You stopped us from killing each other
(Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
You'll never know but you saved our lives
(Tom Jones, Tom Jones)
I've never thrown my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales
And now our war is over
I've lost the urge to break your neck
I owe my life to

Oh, I used to call you Satan
I called you Cruella de Ville
But now you call me your Delilah
And now I'm not your Lucifer
And I am just a pussycat

Wish she would throw her knickers at me
Butch Dingle on bass
😁
gaye gaye nye kayak lagu Benyamin dan Ida Royani nih tong
You said it, kid.
well said bang
That's easy for you to say!
Ka musta
bangke tidak menyangka ada yg bilang gini, tp bener ugha 😭
Is there were david tennant got his costume for doctor who 😂😂
A very young Tom Jones in the background lol
You know what's sad, and i really like this song....it wouldn't be allowed to go out in 2020. The lyrics would be censored due to the implied domestic violence.
I know such a crap time we are living in now. A boring dull time where its all about being correct and dull.
We let it happen.
😂 she has a pair of knickers in her hand
She'd have some prettyy big knickers to throw, eh?
Lagu opo iki..mediocre
The senses of humour meeting in perfect harmony! Beautiful.
This was the song we chose for our first dance when we got married in 2005, the look on our wedding guests faces when it came on was priceless!
Maybe unsurprisingly we are now divorced ! x
@@louisfriend1851 what an arsehole you are
louis friend You did to make a comment
@@louisfriend1851 I think we've found the salty ex.
😲😨😱😵
who isn't divorced? It wont be anything to do with this lol
Just watched them live in Worthing tonight, amazing gig and lovely nod to Cerys about never ageing when they sing this now
I had so forgotten about this masterpiece
Was 13 when this was released, sang it at a karaoke with a girl who would become my first girlfriend. Yes when the song ended, we had our first kiss.
This song takes me back to my childhood, it has taken me days to remember the lyrics to this song to find it 😂 I'm sure its saved on my ipod as sang by catatonia, I was searching lyrics i could remember and sang by catonia, spelling it wrong just wasn't helping me find it. love this song and her voice is just so recognisable.
so proud to be Welish ..tidy
High school memories ❤️
Amazing song.Cerys should make some new recordings.
Want to see a tom Jones reaction video to this classic
Can anyone explain me please what does "and I don't come from Wales" refer to? I know Cerys is Welsh yet I cannot make the connection.
Space are from liverpool
Tom Jones is Welsh. She says to her husband in the story that she's never thrown her knickers at him (Jones famously has women throw their undercrackers at him during his gigs) and he replies that he doesnt come from Wales. As said above, he's from Liverpool.
@@CM-nt5so thanks a lot!!
It's to show the difference between the two people - he's not welsh (she is) and she's never chucked her knickers at him.
Tom Jones comes from Wales 🏴
Still.good in 2019
That Welsh accent of Cerys..........Isn't she though!
So this is where Pete Doherty got his signing style from….
a live performance and really, really good
You can really hear Cerys' Welsh accent here x
Don’t hear this on the radio ever, too busy playing rubbish
I was 7 when this came out and I still love this song
😍😍😍😍
SpaceX.
Tommy Scott - you will never be David Tennant.
David Tennant will never be Tommy Scott
They were asked to be on totp. Awful band great video terrible unmusical song .Not one good thoughtfullyric or melody in entire song !
You could do much better, right?
There actually is melody, it's in the chorus where the vocals go in a tune-like arrangement.
BTW - Putting a load of classical pieces on your profile doesn't make you an expert in music.
"That'll be the arsenic making you sick," is a much cleverer response than any you've given us.
So why are you listening to it on here?
And I don't come from Wales 🏴
