i seriously think that this one is my favorite song ever. But, I mean, it's not like saying "omg this is the best song evaaaah". No, this is my favorite song of all time, I love it like few other things in my life. From italy.
I was there. Sometimes a band just nail it. What a song from an extremely underestimated songwriting band. Proper musicians. Some songs don’t die, this’ll be one of them
Been revisiting this band and fucking hell, so good. Albarn, Gallagher, Ashcroft, Anderson; all musical heroes but not sure any of them ever matched this song musically or lyrically. OCS were terribly unfashionable back in the day, dunno why. They're absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely top class Seen them at Stirling Castle back in 97 or 98 I'm 46 now and I was lucky in my late teeens/20s that we had so many top bands at that time OCS in my top 5 Oasis The Beatles The Jam Stone Roses OCS
Saw their first ever Scottish gig at The Plaza Ballroom (Still got the ticket stub😂) 2 years later the first of many Barrowland Ballroom gigs. Weller doesn't choose Lil' Stevie as his Lead Guitarist for nothing. Top band! Top tune! Yeeee-haaa!
This was my dads favourite song I’ve been listening continually as he passed recently and its a top tune and i can remember him whistling the tune from when i was a kid
Love reading the comments from the old feckers .... We like this music were cool once ...keep reading underated .... Nah ... They weren't mainstream but we're still massive ...and their music has aged well with time ...unlike myself 😂 ah to be in my 20s again ... Best of times best of music ! 😎
i've heard a thousand tunes a thousand times, i was at that gig i dont think i will ever here a song like that, in fact i know i wont, if i die tommorow i can rest in peace that i've seen foxy sing like an angel as always
Absolutely best song EVER,especially playing 100% volume in car,actually anywhere,most underrated band ever,.trying to get my 10yr old daughter listening to it now,but she will love proper music😅
Love this OCS tune, going to see them live for the 5th time in Feb, cant wait. Went to see KOL on 16/12 my wife said "ecited babe" I said "more excited to see OCS oin Feb" even though seen them 4 times before, atmosphere is SO electric when they perform in Birmingham
When she blows the candle flame to smoke She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes And Monday she'll go down town and standing naked in the road You may know what I am but who I am you don't know She'll run across the mustard dust sand And scream down the wind And the sea is in a cold Like when in holiday homes And houses like sweets confectionary Sandcastles and drinking wine Hungry dinners perfectly timed And mother and father glowing and young Happy to be eachother together When she blows the candle out She goes to bed and lies and drags in through her head The way that went the way of everyday But tommorrow she'll fly a plane Over the fields where the houses arn't built yet She smiled sweetly across the room Through the lunch time smoke And I loved her for a second And discarded the queen and I know How sweetness turns to sour And leaves they turn to brown And then to earth and dust And settle in this town You get blown away When she blows the candle flame to smoke She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes And Monday she'll go down town and standing naked in the road You may know what I am but who I am you don't know She'll run across the mustard dust sand And scream down the wind And the sea is in a cold Like when in holiday homes And houses like sweets confectionary Sandcastles and drinking wine Hungry dinners perfectly timed She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smoke And I loved her for a second And discarded the queen and I know When men are little boys again And woman cruel step mothers of old And this is the invention The adeventure of my own I get blown away...
One of the best songs ever Simon flowers voice is just angelic on this track Oscar on the drums always solid too one of the best drummers ocs one of the best bands always will sell tickets as they have a cult fallowing
U boys should punt this tune on bgt , get someone to cover it in there own way , it's a beautiful song with great heartfelt lyrecs, see u in Liverpool December 19th

@UkeleleDamphlett A new fan, a sadly rare thing these days for OCS. Hope you enjoy the gig, they're very good live, one of the best bands I've seen live hands down.
@meyrick1991 I saw them last night in Leeds, they played GBA and they did end on Day Tripper. Best OCS gig I've been to, they're really on tip top form currently! Enjoy!
Fucking tune going watchin these guys in liverpool on saturday gonna be fucking epic.... Rekon there gonna end with day tripper aswell which will go down a treat
One of the most underrated songs ever
Amazes me that it’s never been covered it’s a timeless classic
Definately.....
The Enemy (remember them?) did a cover of it.
The whole album is a classic. So underrated.
Dead rite great song
I'm only an average joe, but I just did a cover of it: th-cam.com/video/tFYNd4WUZ3Q/w-d-xo.html
i seriously think that this one is my favorite song ever. But, I mean, it's not like saying "omg this is the best song evaaaah". No, this is my favorite song of all time, I love it like few other things in my life. From italy.
🙏💙❤
Agreed 👍
Best live band in the world
Totally get what u mean
Me to x
My best friend died on Feb 10th 2001. I played this a lot when he died. I play it to remember him, he was a good friend
Nice comment,I’m going to see them Friday in Dublin Ireland,I’ll be thinking of your friend when they play this song
I was there. Sometimes a band just nail it. What a song from an extremely underestimated songwriting band. Proper musicians. Some songs don’t die, this’ll be one of them
Saw them play this live last night! Still sound incredible and I feel so lucky they came all the way down to Cornwall to play, big love!
Been revisiting this band and fucking hell, so good. Albarn, Gallagher, Ashcroft, Anderson; all musical heroes but not sure any of them ever matched this song musically or lyrically. OCS were terribly unfashionable back in the day, dunno why. They're absolutely brilliant.
Ocean Colour Scene were one of the best bands of the 90's - the only reason I can think of is the fact that they weren't as good looking?
Simon is gay I'm sure... not that should matter but think might of had somthing to do it
The most under rated group EVER. Awesome.
This is absolutely the best song ever made
My favourite OCS tune ever it’s magical love this live version so much, Simons voice is amazing 🤩
Absolutely top class
Seen them at Stirling Castle back in 97 or 98
I'm 46 now and I was lucky in my late teeens/20s that we had so many top bands at that time
OCS in my top 5
Oasis
The Beatles
The Jam
Stone Roses
OCS
I was at Stirling Castle, but nothing tops the Barrowlands. It was nuts.
Saw their first ever Scottish gig at The Plaza Ballroom (Still got the ticket stub😂)
2 years later the first of many Barrowland Ballroom gigs.
Weller doesn't choose Lil' Stevie as his Lead Guitarist for nothing.
Top band!
Top tune!
Yeeee-haaa!
This was my dads favourite song I’ve been listening continually as he passed recently and its a top tune and i can remember him whistling the tune from when i was a kid
The lyrics are off the scale. Love this tune
This is one of the best songs of the 90s a stand tall tune swagger tune , one of my favorites of all time , reminds me of good times.
Love reading the comments from the old feckers .... We like this music were cool once ...keep reading underated .... Nah ... They weren't mainstream but we're still massive ...and their music has aged well with time ...unlike myself 😂 ah to be in my 20s again ... Best of times best of music ! 😎
every time I hear this song I want to cry because it moves something in me. This band is outstanding
The soundtrack of my childhood!!! i was looking for this song for years!!! finally i found it!!! great song ever!
You should have googled it
i've heard a thousand tunes a thousand times, i was at that gig i dont think i will ever here a song like that, in fact i know i wont, if i die tommorow i can rest in peace that i've seen foxy sing like an angel as always
Best intro EVER. Simon’s voice is magical

Beautiful,I feel privileged to have seen them several times,usually with paul

This album brings back so many memories. Of my older sister going to university, revising for my levels, going out drinking on friday night. Ahhhhh
This has been one of my top 5 tunes for the last 7 years!
Absolutely best song EVER,especially playing 100% volume in car,actually anywhere,most underrated band ever,.trying to get my 10yr old daughter listening to it now,but she will love proper music😅
This is just a beautiful song.
'She'll run across the mustard dust sand. Scream down the wind. And the sea is in and cold.'
pheww, heaven.
Absolutely love this song. Love Simon, love OCS ❤️
Still one of the best bands out there still holding their own on the live circuit in 2018 long live O.C.S
I WAS THERE LOUD AND PROUD !!
GREAT GIG
One of my all time favourite songs that most people have never heard of. Musically and lyrically sublime
Words don't describe it! Hair neck and all that. Possibly my all time favourite song
Love this OCS tune, going to see them live for the 5th time in Feb, cant wait. Went to see KOL on 16/12 my wife said "ecited babe" I said "more excited to see OCS oin Feb" even though seen them 4 times before, atmosphere is SO electric when they perform in Birmingham

Definitely best band!
When she blows the candle flame to smoke
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
And Monday she'll go down town and standing naked in the road
You may know what I am but who I am you don't know
She'll run across the mustard dust sand
And scream down the wind
And the sea is in a cold
Like when in holiday homes
And houses like sweets confectionary
Sandcastles and drinking wine
Hungry dinners perfectly timed
And mother and father glowing and young
Happy to be eachother together
When she blows the candle out
She goes to bed and lies and drags in through her head
The way that went the way of everyday
But tommorrow she'll fly a plane
Over the fields where the houses arn't built yet
She smiled sweetly across the room
Through the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second
And discarded the queen and I know
How sweetness turns to sour
And leaves they turn to brown
And then to earth and dust
And settle in this town
You get blown away
When she blows the candle flame to smoke
She says a prayer for all of those who live in houses and in homes
And Monday she'll go down town and standing naked in the road
You may know what I am but who I am you don't know
She'll run across the mustard dust sand
And scream down the wind
And the sea is in a cold
Like when in holiday homes
And houses like sweets confectionary
Sandcastles and drinking wine
Hungry dinners perfectly timed
She smiled sweetly across the lunch time smoke
And I loved her for a second
And discarded the queen and I know
When men are little boys again
And woman cruel step mothers of old
And this is the invention
The adeventure of my own
I get blown away...
Excellent band live, seen them a few years back

Song of fragile and delicate feelings, maybe that's why it never enjoyed the status it deserved even within the group's own songs.
My favourite one by OSC
Their best song..
''Ouça a banda da minha vida, e depois ouça a minha música... Eternamente
classic
MAGIC......
90s Brit pop ruled the scene. Btw check out Bernard butler sometime.
@JoopFCG Same here, such an amazing tune
