The juxtaposition between the macabre lyrics and incongruously buoyant instrumentation blows my very tiny mind. I first heard the entire album - Welcome to the Beautiful South - on the way home to Pietermaritzburg from an Elton John concert in Johannesburg in 1993, and it made everything Elton had done seem rather mediocre. I'll be thinking about that night all day now and I'm already miserably happy.
You should look up TBS' cover of The Smiths' "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" on TH-cam, for another great example of TBS' trademark jaunty music under dark lyrics. It's a masterpiece.
I went to the Delamere gig the week before this. It is still to this day the best concert I have ever being to. The weather was perfect and the atmosphere was amazing.
First time i heatd this song sng live. Leicester de montfort hall. Paul,dave and Brianna. I was with my best mate my first ever beautiful south gig and my most favourite. Brianna no longer with the south no dave and my mates no longer with us ( rest in peace russ ) I'll never forget it . 1 of the best nights I've ever add x
Brianna had a beautiful voice to go with Pauls. I thought it could never be bettered, then along came Jacqui. We have been spoilt with the music and lyrics produced by the BS over the years.
Does it have a deeper meaning? There is the song and cult film "Wonderwall," Bowie's girl with the mousy hair who is "stuck to the silver screen and a woman that he meets by a wall in Heroes.
@@Hallands. Thanks. I think it should be. When Eve was made out of a side of us, I think that she was made out of a wall of us and there is a woman in all our walls.
timtak1 Well, I see no point in arguing religion one way or the other. I essentially have only this to say about religions: Don't let mere *_thoughts of God_* or any religious authorities come between you and God. Such may tend to create the illusion that God can be understood by the mind and thus leads nowhere, because The Timeless Creator self evidently cannot be subjected to creations.
@@Hallands. Hear, hear. I like to think about the lyrics of Oasis, Bowie, and The Beautiful South as well as various religions, but, yes I can see how they might get in the way. I think koan 42 in the Gateless Gate may also be about the same wall woman but there she is described as a mask, which is just another metaphor.
timtak1 Yes, I get you and I also like to delve deeper into many subjects and have patterns emerge. It's just that I discovered that all activities are facilitated to a surprising degree by not identifying with mind. We have it, but it's not what we essentially are...
It's such a creepy yet melodic song! I hate that I love it. And I'm trying to figure out the meaning. Sure, the simple version is he kills a woman and stuffs her in his wall but, what does the part *_she'd knitted him a jumper with dominoes on so he wore it every day in every week_* mean? (even odder, they have a great song called Domino Man).
Never be another..The genius Heaton...
And not a phone in sight!! This was probably one of the best shows I have ever been to.
Most underrated song writer ever and voice of a working class man
that is one of the most important songs by the beautiful south 💖💗💓- its 2023 - and still -this topic is here....

I love how they make the most cruesome morbid lyrics sound so upbeat
Darkest song ever ... and the crowd knows every word
Outta Thyme567 and I love it. We used to listen to them when we took road trips with our kids in the backseat singing along with us.
Linda Baldridge think many families did the same
Liam Walters we’re in the US. 😛
@@lindabaldridge4438 Impressed. I would have expected you to be in the UK.
Who says Americans don't have good taste?
Such a powerful song ... brilliantly written... Brilliantly sung
Beautiful South? North, East and West. Fantastic music
That brings tears to my eyes. Thank God there are more people like me. Great music and very black humor.

Brianna had a beautiful voice to go with Pauls. I thought it could never be bettered, then along came Jacqui. We have been spoilt with the music and lyrics produced by the BS over the years.

When he goes we've lost something.
Does it have a deeper meaning? There is the song and cult film "Wonderwall," Bowie's girl with the mousy hair who is "stuck to the silver screen and a woman that he meets by a wall in Heroes.
timtak1 Immurement is a very old theme. Search "immurement wiki" and have a look.
@@Hallands. Thanks. I think it should be. When Eve was made out of a side of us, I think that she was made out of a wall of us and there is a woman in all our walls.

There's a film in this 🤔
cela devrait être un hymne pour les femmes battues
Someone needs to make a 8D audio of this song

🎶🎶🎶❤🇮🇪✊🏼💋
One of the many great BS songs written by a man who, for some reason I'll never know, doesn't have a stack of Ivor Novellos
What the shit is this?? 🤔🧐
Read up on it.
