It's very cool to see that this tune is on here. Hanoi Rocks is the best happy accident I have ever had. At a time when everyone was jamming to Bon Jovi and such I bought a Hanoi album at a garage sale and it changed my musical life. You either get it or you don't. Right?
according to the band, this is about a period when they lived together in the borough of Tooting Bec in South London on Stane St in the very early 80's. LOTS of notorious debauchery ensued.
Yesterday I thought I really wanted to look this up on the net, then couldn't remember, and have been straining my brain like my life depended on it! So glad I remembered, I used to love this song so much, must look up this album on cd, thanks for posting! I feel rejuvenated!
Hanoi was a band that looked AMAZING. I paint canvases of andy and nasty constantly...the hats and scarves were beautiful. I see a guy dressed like that, I wanna know where he's going, can I come and hey..where'd you get that? I'm teling Mike on you. ( ;
People tell me I'm too high when I'm around, And when I'm not I'm closer to the ground Well, I do anything whenever I want, And I want to do it here and now I'm on a one-way street, I can't retreat, 'Cause my mind and I play hide and seek They want to make a problem out of me, 'Cause they want their own problems unseen My mind's a gallery of memories, yeah I reflect the history I'm the sort of case of the human race, That people find hard to face I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec, I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec, And I'm equal to anyone I've met I'm the second door on the third floor, If you've got the key then please unlock me But hey, don't talk to me, I'm not what you see, I'm not here today, I'm miles away It's twice as much reality, When you're face to face with history Yeah its been a long trip, it made me flip Now I'm crawling on your bedroom floor Now I'm climbing up your bathroom wall And I search, I search, in this shit, and i search, For the eternal party, Is it in my head, or is it in my bed? Baby, please baby, I said baby, is it here, or is it there? What? the second door on the the third floor Tell me more I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec, I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec, And I'm equal to anyone I've met And I'm living wreck, live in Tooting Bec, Cosmic Ted, spaced out of my head And I'm better than anyone you've met I sing "la la la la la la la la la" Well i just got back from the outer space, They call me the Flashing Psychedelic Kid Some say I'm spaced out of my head You know it feels so good, when i reappear, And its so so sad to see yourself disappear, I disappear, when i disappear well its too bad Well, here i go again! And I sing
@gabrielbadlands yes they did, there's one crappy quality video here on youtube. It's taken from one of the last Tavastia-gigs. Shame there's no live-video about the whole song.. At least on youtube.
Right now, Im playing this from my ''Liked videos'', but it still says under the song that I haven't liked it yet.. Well, it said so until a moment ago..
@AndyHairCandy it was about decadence, overkill and excess in that era anyhow, everyone looked great from GNR to the Gun Club. Hanoi just happened to look the best. I wear the boots, scarves, hats, bolos, mixed with my gal pieces and it's not about practicality at all...it's about loving my favorite band and having fun!
Such a great band. They have a ton of great songs and just never caught on. Not sure why, I'm not sure they were any more excessive than a handful of other big bands from that era. Too bad, a lot of people missed out on a lot of great music.
why would you diss HIM here? Tbh its the second best international rock'n roll band after hanoi rocks that has come from finland. Just really listen to them. Shouldn't diss anyone anyway anytime.
On balance, Hanoi Rocks were better than Guns N' Roses and Guns themselves paid more them more than lip service. They personally paid for the Hanoi back catalogue to be re-released on vinyl. Chaps.
I know. It's something that I try to keep in me head whenever I want to throw Axle under the bus! Because, if I were ever a super star like him- I'd have done the same...... He's got great taste, not to mention the incredible gift he's bequeath to us all and everyone that searches to find out more of their amazing catalog😁🤘💓🤘💓🤘
ha ha ,you really like to watch this clip! i mean second door on the third floor = 23 , like in "Demolution 23"...something's crawling on your bedroomfloor...never mind, just joking ha ha
Don't feed the troll. Wait, you responded to *my* comment. Ugh... Yes, my comment from five years ago was silly, but the image many glam rock bands have is also silly. It depends on the way you see it. But it's just entertainment after all, just like KISS and their makeup.
yes i'm serious. i like a lot of bands and mostly from finland, but a lot of people wouldn't like. i'm all around the board with music, except for country and christian music unless its screamo christian music so i can't hear the words. :) laugh all you want of try to talk me don about my taste in music, but it won't work.
I know them all still from the end of 80s.Anyway I don't like them,by the way from about an year I live nearby tooting bec and it is really an ugly place.

Fuckin A dude. The greatest imperfect band in rock history. Love em.
Right!
Talk about happy accidents, what a "find"! At a garage sale??
That ranks Right up there, dude!!
This song is so brilliant, so strange and so underrated.
one of the best songs ever written and I can say that with full authority because I just got back from the outer space. Wonderful.
Still one of my go-to songs when I'm a bit trashed, 35 years after first hearing it!! :-p
Wonderful. Possibly the best thing they ever did.
What a talent!
Hanoi Rocks has so many great songs.
BEST SONG! I LOVE Hanoi Rocks. Been a fan forever!
according to the band, this is about a period when they lived together in the borough of Tooting Bec in South London on Stane St in the very early 80's. LOTS of notorious debauchery ensued.
Wandsworth borough, thats were Tooting is at.Theres is no such thing as Tooting Bec Borough
Actually yes there is and the tube goes there !
Great pics. Great song. Great band!
Still got the cassette. This is a cool tune. Hanoi Rocks were the real deal.
My buddy David told me to shut up for a second and played this for me in 1989. It changed the way I looked at the world and I will always be grateful.

Put this song back on Spotify!
Best rhythm section!
Hey - I'm so glad someone has put this up on here - Nice one. I defy anybody not sing along with it!
Saw them live in '05, Michael Monroe was like a hurricane!
This is how you do it. Motorvatin is also a gem.

Tooting bec has some beautiful scenery, but I agree the people are crazy. I grew up there :p
I love Andy McCoy and Hanoi Rocks.
People tell me I'm too high when I'm around,
And when I'm not I'm closer to the ground
Well, I do anything whenever I want,
And I want to do it here and now
I'm on a one-way street,
I can't retreat,
'Cause my mind and I play hide and seek
They want to make a problem out of me,
'Cause they want their own problems unseen
My mind's a gallery of memories, yeah
I reflect the history
I'm the sort of case of the human race,
That people find hard to face
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,
I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,
And I'm equal to anyone I've met
I'm the second door on the third floor,
If you've got the key then please unlock me
But hey, don't talk to me, I'm not what you see,
I'm not here today, I'm miles away
It's twice as much reality,
When you're face to face with history
Yeah its been a long trip, it made me flip
Now I'm crawling on your bedroom floor
Now I'm climbing up your bathroom wall
And I search, I search, in this shit, and i search,
For the eternal party,
Is it in my head, or is it in my bed?
Baby, please baby, I said baby, is it here, or is it there?
What? the second door on the the third floor
Tell me more
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,
I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head
I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec,
And I'm equal to anyone I've met
And I'm living wreck, live in Tooting Bec,
Cosmic Ted, spaced out of my head
And I'm better than anyone you've met
I sing "la la la la la la la la la"
Well i just got back from the outer space,
They call me the Flashing Psychedelic Kid
Some say I'm spaced out of my head
You know it feels so good, when i reappear,
And its so so sad to see yourself disappear,
I disappear, when i disappear well its too bad
Well, here i go again! And I sing
Brilliant as fuck!
The BEST HR tune... good on ya for uploading mate
I think this is the best song they've made!
I was THE Cosmic Ted (my nickname) lol fkn awesome song one of their best, still gets a listen from time to time!
@gabrielbadlands yes they did, there's one crappy quality video here on youtube. It's taken from one of the last Tavastia-gigs. Shame there's no live-video about the whole song.. At least on youtube.

Right now, Im playing this from my ''Liked videos'', but it still says under the song that I haven't liked it yet.. Well, it said so until a moment ago..
It only proved to me that some videos disappear for some reason. I couldnt care less about the rest, except that its a pure song, wont be diminished

huh huh mikä biisi sanat ei riitä kertoo kuin paljon tätä biisiä rakastan t.härkämäki beck wreck!t.markus karinen ...mekke79!!!)

they decided to break up after razzle died. They said they couldn't do it without him. They all have other bands.
Tragic
Great !
ya now in the book of 'all those wasted years' it tells how andy wanted those animal sounds on this song :D
Must be about 10 years since i heard this one
great upload,thanks
got any Cherry Bombs?? I remember recording them from the Tube back in the old days
I love this song and i love Hanoi Rocks. Fuckin great :D
Who in the fuck gave this a thumbs down?! What's wrong with you people.
Fuck Em

why would you diss HIM here? Tbh its the second best international rock'n roll band after hanoi rocks that has come from finland. Just really listen to them. Shouldn't diss anyone anyway anytime.

No ma que buena rola !
thank u
ok, that makes a "23" right? i would worry a little about that.
i always thought this is a kind of "occult" song - and one of
their coolest!
this songs about me!, i live in tooting bec, and i live on the second door on the third floor of my apartment block.
ha.
@missellejonas
My fave as well, I really love this song, love playing the riffs on my guitar.
Great title.
I like this song but I can't understand its meaning.
Can someone explain it to me shortly?
Never a really big fan of Hanoi Rocks, this one song though, absolutely outstanding!
1.35 "HAHAAAAAA! Ville Valo and HIM SUCKS!!!" :D
ye me too :(
@Gumbypotty
do you know anything about fashion?? looking good kills being practical
No. Andy wrote it. They all lived in London at that time..
Huh huh mikä timantti kukaan bändi ei päässyt mun mielestä edes lähelle hanoi rocksia tosi monipuolisia biisejä
ha ha ,you really like to watch this clip! i mean second door on
the third floor = 23 , like in "Demolution 23"...something's
crawling on your bedroomfloor...never mind, just joking ha ha
Did I hear a cow in there?
No, she left me when I stopped wearing my scarf and hat indoors. :-(
(this was a reply to adda)
Andy made this song while he and Michael used cocaine and mushrooms in Tooting Bec..
Lyrics reflect to drugs.
Don't feed the troll.
Wait, you responded to *my* comment. Ugh...
Yes, my comment from five years ago was silly, but the image many glam rock bands have is also silly. It depends on the way you see it. But it's just entertainment after all, just like KISS and their makeup.
Why do they have scarfs and hats on their heads indoors? Sensitive hair follicles or skin problems? It must be. Otherwise it's just silly.
: )
damn... why'd you have to put that HIM sucks? i like them... a lot... thanks... ah well... great vid anyway. :)
I don't know :D Maybe because there's Andy in the pic ;D But yeah... I don't like HIM! ;D So, if you're(I mean anyone) a HIM fan then sorry!
erm don't you get the pun?
which comment?
-.-
the antti mccoy terveiset pelkosenniemelle stara ja mestari
ok, i don't want to waste space, but my last comment was the
23 rd - see what i mean??
That's a guitar.
yes i'm serious. i like a lot of bands and mostly from finland, but a lot of people wouldn't like. i'm all around the board with music, except for country and christian music unless its screamo christian music so i can't hear the words. :) laugh all you want of try to talk me don about my taste in music, but it won't work.
him is in fact a very good band :D
Tooting Bec is full of wrecks still.
Horrible place
Thread bump * and now? Lol. Gentrification eh?

I know them all still from the end of 80s.Anyway I don't like them,by the way from about an year I live nearby tooting bec and it is really an ugly place.

The pix remind me of the Good Ole Days,and All Those Wasted Years of my own,what I can remember that is...
