This reminds me of my first year of uni. I commuted there and had a really fucking lonely existence. I used to listen to this all the time, while I was walking from the car park to lectures and while I was driving on the motorway. I had a courtesy car for a while because I smashed up my first car, and I could use an aux lead in my courtesy car so I used to play this through my iPod. You might think that this comment was bullshit, but I enjoyed sharing this.
I can relate to this song so much. I love the emotion in his voice when he sings. :D I can't wait to see him when he comes to Toronto although I don't know when that will be. :(
This is amazing. I love how Jamie varies his songs depending on his mood/current musical tastes and he isn't afraid to show it by putting the different styles on albums/EPs instead of just keeping them away in a chest somewhere incase they're not "accepted" maybe not so much this one most of his B side stuff haha.
I love both the Jamie and Kirsty versions. I only heard the song when I went to England for a university semester for 3 months in 2009. But they remind me of that happy time! I only heard the original recently. Poor Kirsty, she died saving her sons ❤
this cover is actually fairly similar to billy's ogirinal in that it's pretty simple musically, and he's singing totally in his own voice. i actually quite like it (:
@treeformlol hehehe. you make jamie sound as if hes some twelve year old that is trying to make it big on youtube. jamies a pretty well known figure in the indie scene at the moment, two albums in to his career. and i would say its better than braggs, but then that is just up to personal opinion i guess
I admire your bravery for putting this online. I will simply state that I prefer Braggs original massively and this is not particularly good in my eyes.
@M45TERPiiC3 I can safely say that this is worse than Bragg's original, considering Bragg cannot sing thats a particular feat. Its too quiet, too fast and the guitar is sub-par. It makes me miss auto-tune. And I aint some troll or a Bragg fanatic, I saw someone recommend this crap earlier.
@bioshockt It may have taken me 4 months to reply but I have something very simple to say. The fact that I have decent music taste is what is making me wish this track had Auto-Tune. It is shit. He cannot sing. At all. Its not hard to understand at all. This needs autotune because Jamie T is on the same level as both Black and Beiber. You want decent acoustic music? Go listen to Frank Turner.

Fucking ace
This bloke is a legend... No other sound like him.. Proud to be British
The most under rated artist in history - FACT!
Seriously. Everything this man touches is gold.

if billy bragg did a concert suported by frank turner and jamie t it be the best thing ever
I'd go 👍

2021👍
Excellent!! Billy Bragg or Jamie T or ( dear) KIRSTY MACCOLL ( RIP) A great song!!!
I love both the Jamie and Kirsty versions. I only heard the song when I went to England for a university semester for 3 months in 2009. But they remind me of that happy time! I only heard the original recently.
Poor Kirsty, she died saving her sons ❤
first time I heard it was in 2009... good times, good memories.. it remembers me an old girlfriend that passed away.
I wish you'd tour again J!!
these songs make me proud to be English!
great cover

I love this cover sooooo much! Never thought anyone could come close to billy brags version but this is amazing.
his voice :)
Legend
i need to meet jamie t.
no. seriously.
i need to meet this guy and have a beer with him or something.

I think nearly anyone could sing this song and it would sound great, such is the quality of the lyrics.
love it :D
Smashing cover
@planetjanine I hope he comes to Toronto too! Soon!
Jamie is the one! Fucking love him...
"Liquid shit!"
still great
this cover is actually fairly similar to billy's ogirinal in that it's pretty simple musically, and he's singing totally in his own voice. i actually quite like it (:
This is a good cover but Billy Braggs is still the best!
@Szaam Was interesting. About to go Uni, what was so bad about it?
all those who voted down, are you seriously saying you think this is good??
go listen to Billy Braggs views on this!!! (the man who wrote the tune)
to download? i cud sent it to you if you want?
Does that just get the videos tho?Or can u get it just as audio?
@luckystrike1 You realise he didn't write this song, he is just doing a great take on a classic Billy Bragg song.
Fucking dope. Love this song. Cheers
Banging
Billy Bragg ...
jamie-t ft lilly allen classic mate ;) rawhide
Stripped down aceness

K thanks :)
sorry to inform you, there's no such place as 'englang'
X D

xx
Just fantastic. Bragg, by JT!!!
Yes i am an avid fan of the libertines absolute CLASS BAND. Billy Bragg is good as well, writes sum fucking classics
Jesus this is brilliant.
Jamie T loves me. ;)

Wrong to wish on space hardware... #Lyrics #Bars

Any recommendations for Artists similar to Jamie T?
Been looking for ages, nothing with that Cockney slang (other than Kate Nash)..
stoneageman18 I think king krule is similar
billy bragg new englang
lol at the spelling of serious in this
South Fields rules!)
👍👍👍👍
yeah sure you wana message me your msn or summin?
@elwoodmcr
This isn't awful this is art!
You clearly dont know what real music sounds like.
but jamie t is corporate thats the whole point!!! you think he's not but he is!
@joesufc The king blues version is incredible! :)
And i hope SUFC stands for them ighty Sheffield united! ;)
@thatsnotmyname69 Ive met him twcie and had a few beers with him on one occassion, he loves a little drinking session. Hed probably be up for it!!
largie83 I
Hmm, not one of the best versions of this song i think. Although i love Jamie T !
It's just too fast and too quiet in my opinion..
It would be nice if he got together with Kate Nash.
no, Southend United!
yeah erm..how you want me to? only thing i can think of is msn or summin..upto you msge me
he didnt write this.
Its a Kirsty MacColl song...
No it's not Kirsty McCall. Billy bragg wrote it
Michael Heath it's a Billy bragg song. I urge you to listen to the original. It's the best version
@treeformlol hehehe. you make jamie sound as if hes some twelve year old that is trying to make it big on youtube. jamies a pretty well known figure in the indie scene at the moment, two albums in to his career. and i would say its better than braggs, but then that is just up to personal opinion i guess

should be able to work it out easy, it's only root notes innit!?
who is billy!
BILLY BRAGG
check him out he's worlds ahead of jamie..
u glt talent bro
why dont you try working it out yourself? godddd
eee i well prefer billy bragg's version, i don't think this one is very good tbh
he hasnt a good voice... maybe its just his accent which made him popular
Not a great cover really.. Listen to The Enemy's cover of this song
Good shout, I just checked it out
Shockingly bad!!!

it's supposed to sound rough
jolly m8 it aint a cover x
the king blues and the enemy covers are better. this is too quiet.
