36 years old, great version. I was 17 when this came out, what a great time of life. In friends rooms listing to music & singing & talking. Not buried in our phones. 👍🏼👍🏼
You can agree too other places in ENGLAND, like MANCHESTER or LONDON, but of course...long live LIVERPOOL, long live ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN. Greetings from BARCELONA.
Saw them last night at The Assembly in Leamington Spa - they look and sound a bit different in 2012 but was an awesome show - great to see this from their prime!
The Cutter Who's on the seventh floor Brewing alternatives What's in the bottom drawer Waiting for things to give Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Come to the free for all With seven tapered knives Some of them six feet tall We will escape our lives Spare us the cutter Spare us the cutter Couldn't cut the mustard Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Am I the happy loss Will I still recoil When the skin is lost Am I the worthy cross Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off Conquering myself Until I see another hurdle approaching Say we can, say we will Not just another drop in the ocean Ocean Watch the fingers close When the hands are cold Am I the happy loss Will I still recoil When the skin is lost Am I the worthy cross Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off Am I the happy loss Will I still be soiled When the dirt is off
i;m from chicago, seen the bunnymen in (84) at the park west; they were great.pete was the shit. thanks for postin this friend,anyone have the chicago show from (84]
Ian’s voice sounds incredible in this video. But compared to his voice now, he smokes WAY too many cigarettes and drinks too much to have a voice like he does now.
Superb version. Guess we didn't realise how lucky we were to have all this back then.
I will go see them live in 2 months
How incredibly fortunate to have L. Shankar play violin on the studio versions of this and "Back of Love"!!!

Really wish I could live like that
Best live version ever
I was 15
When MTV played music videos...
Me too😊 Back when music was real. The Album is superb.
Liverpool has created some of the best bands the Uk has seen. The talent is unbelievable
I disagree. United Kingdom has created some of the best bands of the world.

Greetings from BARCELONA.
Ya know da
Is right
Saw them in 1985 at the Greek theater in LA, went last week to the same venue 40 years older. 1985 show was much better.
The pinnacle of mankind's contribution to the high arts and humanities.
Pete’s drumming is a different level on this performance.
can’t believe i just discovered this band... so amazing
ave v better late than never.
Les and Pete; no rhythm section can replace them! R.I.P. Pete.
Saw them in Glasgow two days ago, still great, this song their peak for me
The thing that makes this song so epic is that it just keeps on driving, building and giving right up until the final note.
It's the guitar riffs keep lifting, and outstanding singing of course
I absolutely love this song 🍺
This is why Echo continues creating a curious craze. These are GREAT SONGS that went undiscovered by the masses. So they are heard as new.
So true 👏
Bunnymen were just magical. They were at their absolute height here.
So true!
Voice back then..wow!
Beautiful.
"... conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching."
Those dudes are bad ass
Lucky to have lived through that time!!!
Raw talent at it's best.
Me encanta mucho esta rola, wow ya tiene 40 años está canción
they didn't even have to try so much and they still sound great...
Simple melodies, brilliant rhythm section, great frontman. What more do you need?
Best song ever to a guy in 1983
Best band i've ever seen live,and i seen a few good ones.
Thanks for the lovely compliment 😀
Brilliant song, every aspect is thrilling. I especially like the drumming.
Never seen this one before. So great!!
great stuff from the scousers rest in peace peter

The Cutter
Who's on the seventh floor
Brewing alternatives
What's in the bottom drawer
Waiting for things to give
Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the mustard
Conquering myself
Until I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean
Come to the free for all
With seven tapered knives
Some of them six feet tall
We will escape our lives
Spare us the cutter
Spare us the cutter
Couldn't cut the mustard
Conquering myself
Until I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean
Am I the happy loss
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost
Am I the worthy cross
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off
Conquering myself
Until I see another hurdle approaching
Say we can, say we will
Not just another drop in the ocean
Ocean
Watch the fingers close
When the hands are cold
Am I the happy loss
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost
Am I the worthy cross
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off
Am I the happy loss
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off
I listened to this song so many times... Lots of layers to it. It helped me get through some tough times.
Best song EVER
What a voice!!
favorite song from favorite band
Absolutely brilliant!
Love this song...this great version!!!💕🐰🎵🎶
Their best song
i;m from chicago, seen the bunnymen in (84) at the park west; they were great.pete was the shit. thanks for postin this friend,anyone have the chicago show from (84]
michael ohare I was at the Irvine California show, same tour. Billy Brag, The Three O’Clock and The Fleshtones backing them up.
Wow better than the studio version
Mac, Pete, Will and Les at the top of their game. Love them.
Soooooooooo bummed I missed this last tour ;(
That guitar rift is pure fire
Amazing version without synthesizers!
La edad de oro. TVE
Classic
Nice Video
Who's listening in 2025??
i wish we'd have appreciated these lads more in the day, they'd have been better at what u2 do today.
Wow rip. Ride free Pete.
Class 👊
hey paul r.i,p pete great drummmer i'm from chicago thhaks bro
Is this really live? Seems too great to be live!
💓
There can only be one 'CULT'
How did they not add a touring keyboardist to the lineup?
The early eighties.
Ian’s voice sounds incredible in this video. But compared to his voice now, he smokes WAY too many cigarettes and drinks too much to have a voice like he does now.
It's a perfect video wherein the great song is given a half-assed treatment by the band that wrote it, but they just don't respect it.
At that time I actually thought he was scottish with a name like that oh silly me.
de Freitas motorik monster
Pity Cope, McCullouch and Wiley couldn't have stuck together as the Crucial 3. Would have given the Beatles a run for their money.
No thanks, I'll take the Bunnymen.
About heroin?
Ummm...don't think so. IF, if it's about drugs, Ian's choice was/is the powdery stuff.
Eso es en Madrid, yo la primera vez que los vi fue en esa época, en Valencia en 1984… Aún lo recuerdo, pese al ciego que llevábamos TODOS 😂
Best song ever
