1989 sitting on the floor of my apartment in NYC with some girl I just met. Playing this song on my stereo trying to impress her with my stereo and taste in music. 32 years later still together married 31 years , two kids all grown up. Here I am still listening to The Church.
Most overlooked 80s band Jenna. Those layers of sound. Superb lyrics. Go to song to get bad people GONE. Loved this band Then and Now. btw, every song on this album is amazing. GREAT period album.
53 yr old military combat vet who first heard this song in high-school and never forgot it and spent more than 40 years trying to find it and finally did!!!! To me it's the kind of song you hear once in your lifetime and never forget it!!!!
Saw them last year at an intimate show with my mom who played their music throughout my whole childhood. They were beyond amazing and Kirby is hilarious when he's on the mic
The greatest works of art occur historically during the decadence of empires. We are actually in the point of no return. As the chinese said: be cursed to live in interesting times. P.S. There is no hope for humanity, at least in this form.
@@christopherneufelt8971 I totally agree with you. History does repeat itself. About 500-700 years ago, Asian countries (Persia, the Mongols, China,...were the economic and military powerhouses). From there, the powers and influences shifted to Europe (England, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France). These European countries had almost total control of the world. From the Americas (north and south), Africa, Asia, all the way to Australia and New Zealand. Over the past decade, I'm seeing how the balance of power (economic and military) is shifting back to Asia. India presently has the largest population, followed by China. India is also a great economic and military powerhouse. China beats India in the population, economic, military categories, but it is the most powerful country right now, because of its armed forces (China has more people in her military forces than most countries populations, and a nonstop booming economy. And I totally agree with you about the present condition of mother Earth. Looking at the present situations, I think it would be totally amazing if our world survives another 500 years. Of course, the planet Earth is already doomed (but not by us lousy humans). In about 5 billion years, our sun will become a super-giant star. It'll become so big that it will easily reach the distance where the Earth is (about 93 million miles). Our planet will be swallowed by our sun.
@@jimmycameron6568 Good night (is 10:10 PM here in Switzerland)!. The situation that I describe is due to the luck of life that bought to the world all of the luxury that we are currently living. Historically speaking, most of the empires get destroyed when the luxury substitutes the desire for living. Especially the artists, are very sensitive to the emotional deficit that this luxury offers, and this results to the production of great works of arts. Every power demands are just consequences of this situation. Sorry, I will not iterate more of this since I am in not good health. Take care yourself and the people you love.
For everybody who likes to sing along. Too dangerous to keep Too feeble to let go And you want to bite the hand Shoulda stopped this long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be gorging on me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile Had you coiled around my arm How could you ever know How I loved your diamond eyes But that was long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile And I should have believed Eve She said we had to blow She was the apple of my eye It wasn't long ago Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile Go now, you've been set free Another month or so you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile I see you slither away with your skin and your tail Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile
I’m 56, been a fan since the mid 80’s, got to see them in about 85. A guy I met in College, he & I became friends over this band, he passed away a couple of years ago from a heart attack, gone too soon 😢 I saw his widow shortly after and she said “Matt always loved The Church, and when he talked about them, your name would always come up” made my cry, it’s amazing how wonderful music is an interwoven part of our lives. I’m really looking forward to their new music in 2023 🙌🏼
The evil son of a bitch in me wanted to find something in comment to tease but the part where his widow told you he would always bring you up actually made me cry.
I was at this show. Filmed at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis in 1988. The close ups of the band were done before they let us in as we could hear this song being played over and over again while waiting in the lobby. Signs at the door said they would be filming. I was 4th row right side on the floor in front of Marty and it was amazing!
Finally got to see The Church live about a month ago. I think Kilbey's the only original member left, but it was still a great show. This one brought the house down.
They are a treasure trove...Well put, Cherrypriere. Steve and Company are amazing musicians and their catalog is full of great music. 26 + albums. They are releasing their next album in Spring 2023 and going on tour in the US. (Hurray!) Check out their great new Single "The Hypnogogue" which came out already. Very Bladerunner-noir-ish to me in a good way. th-cam.com/video/1_zkH4d3ITU/w-d-xo.html
This song is STILL badass. The Church was underrated in the 80s but I still love them. I'm rather proud of how well the music of my 80s adolescence has held up so well. You can hear its echoes in some of the better music being made today...
Yeah the injustice. Like being bombed on, poisoned, enslaved the people w/their ALL CAPS name on birth certificate turned into a cestui que trust (bond) & trade it on the stock exchange. Look it up. EVERYTHING is a trust. Your signature on your auto/home loan, credit card purchases, school loans, life insurance, insurance in general. It's the illusion of freedom. The spinning ball deception, the Vatican rules & owns everyone & everything via the crown corporation. Thdy take your sole/soul at birth on your certificate. And "residence" is a legal term for where the goods (you/your kids)are stored.Your all caps name on our birth certificate, d/l, ss card etc is a corps: corporate dead entity. But there is a REMEDY. Just like jason mraz was trying to tell us. It's dangerous but it's serious. Public vs Private High frequency radio channel, the hailrazor, hisadvocate, TJ. aplanetruth 2, ODD TV aka ODD Reality, flat earth universe, santos bonacci. Red Skies are coming. The Fixx tried to warn us. But we all confused it for entertainment.
I was in France in 1988. I didn't have any clue about the influx of Aussie music (Icehouse, 1927, etc.) that seeped into America during the late 80s. Today is April 24, 2020 and this is the first time I've heard this song. I've heard other songs by the Church and certainly know all the great bands from the land Down Under, but this is a revelation. Didn't know this song existed until today. It's been a long time since I've heard an old song for the first time. A very long time. I'm blown away.
McDarwin, I was also at this show, left side row 10 Peter's side, what an amazing night! A bag of wine on the way to the show (no we were not old enough) our driver gets pulled over and the officer asks have you been drinking? His answer, it is against my religion to drink. Oh the memories.
He still has this Rickenbacker 340/6 I believe. He had a Rickenbacker/Rose Morris 1993 12 string stolen though. I feel the same way…you know it’s out there somewhere and it needs to be found. Understandable why it was stolen though. Only 100 made, very few surviving, and they are worth a small fortune. I seen a beat to hell one with no real fame behind it sell for $17k recently.
I played this for my grown adult children, on my Birthday, and they loved it, as I danced and sang along, so much fun, love this song, I just turned 67, and proud of it! I can still rock! Love Rockin! PS I am a Great Grandmother to a Sweet soon to be 2 year old little Girl, she already has a Scooter, I call her Little Scooter Chick! She goes with her Father to the Scooter Park, yes they wear Masks, I bought her a real, awesome Mask, she has to wear it , as to protect her lungs!
Someone please congratulate this woman, it's obviously what she wants. Also maybe a little senile..... but at least she has good taste in music. Ride that scooter with your mask on great grandma!
Music is timeless. It sounds the same today as it did back then, but it also has the magic of capturing the time it was created and to transport us back to the time we first heard it.
Back in 86 or the whereabouts Marty came to a show of my band in LA. He and his friend approached me after our gig and asked if I wanted to fly to Australia and record the drums for his solo album. My band was on the verge of being signed and didn’t want to leave them hanging as we were playing together since 81 when we were 13 year olds. I think Marty liked one of our songs and probably hummed it over and over. This song here was faster at the time he saw us and we slowed it down for the recording. The guitar hook in the chorus is the same as Reptile just different timing and probably a different key. A guitarist will know what I’m talking about. Believe it or not I believe we had an influence on him that night. Our singer played a couple of solo shows with Marty in Los Angeles and Marty did have a copy of our record therefor having Kevin open up for him. Hope you guys like it and listen to full record when you can. The Church are one of my all time favorites, saw them a few times back then. th-cam.com/video/evGuJ3_LL6s/w-d-xo.html
Marty Wilson Piper is an incredible guy. Meeting in person last year was one of the happiest days of that year. He signed all The Church records I had. He's my neighbour now and my friend. He will create a spot here in Porto where ppl can listen to thousands of records and read hundreds of music magazines. I am happy to have donated some...
@@OlhOrebOque sounds like a great guy! Ask him if he still needs a drummer cause I’m available 😂 Believe me when I say I wish I could of recorded on his solo 80’s stuff it would of been amazing. Also, if and when you see him again tell him Damien from Sixtieth Parallel says “hi” and next time he is in Southern California to look me up thanks!
Just heard this song for the first time ever! Wow, trade me 2019 for 1988. God please Take Cardi B and all the commercial no talent modern day singers and bring back true artist!!
Back in the day I think I was one of the last kids to get 11 albums on cassettes for 1 penny out of a magazine ad.. This was one of those albums. Good times!
What a mesmerizing song. The guitar is absolutley enthralling ... I see a woman/ snake with diamond eyes reaching out to him and he can't resist her. What a genius song.
This song marks a turning point for me. I live in San Diego, where the classic rock station is 101.5 FM, which I listened to from 1986 to 1993. It was fine and all, however, after about seven years of hearing Led Zeppelin and the Stones over and over again, it started getting old. So, one day, I started channel surfing when I came across this song on 91x (the alternative rock station). It had already been out for a few years, but it sounded very fresh to me because I had been listening to Zep and the Stones over and over again. I loved it, and over the next few months, I kept listening to 91x waiting for them to play it again. They never did (at least not when I was listening); however, all the time I spent listening/waiting, I was hearing other excellent alternative rock bands, e.g., Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Cracker, etc., and came to realize that the then-new music was just as good if not better than that classic dinosaur stuff I had been listening to. Today, while I maybe a a few months shy of 53, I still listen to 91x ("The 'cutting edge' of rock") and am up to date on all the newest and "coolest" bands - all thanks to The Church and Reptile. Thanks for reading, and until next time - peace out!
Remember hearing this song & story at an Amnesty International concert in 86 at the Omni Atlanta GA on how much it moved me… So much injustice in the world still happening…
There’s something about The Church. Their music has a wonderful, distinct effect on me. It brings out a better side of me. This song is about disgust and contempt, yet expresses those feelings in a classy way, with a hint of melancholy, and a sense of running liberation from a malicious force.
Great song. Reminds me of a certain girl who eventually scammed a large amount of cash from me. She had great eyes, a beautiful smile and ultimately a cold empty heart. Fascinating to hear the other interpretations of these lyrics.
Saw them open up for Echo and the Bunnymen in the late 80s in Boston. They played this song and the way the guitars echoed through the auditorium sent shivers down my spine. I still crush on Marty, and on Steve's voice.
I never thought that when I listened to them back in the eighties that I’d end up doing the artwork for the Kilbey Kennedy album Jupiter 13...funny how life is .
I am a metal lover. Pantera, old Metallica, old Queensryche, DLR Van Halen, and I have always liatened to The Church. The moods of the music. Guitar sounds. I listen to the whole aspect of the song.
One of my favorite bands of all time! My cousin used to like this band may he R.I.P In loving memory of my cousin Tony. He got caught in a love triangle and got killed! This month is his death anniversary love you cuz, this one s for you!
Such a killer song, the video is just about perfect, filmed in the 80’s at the beautiful Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. Somehow everything just fits perfectly
Im kicking myself hard. I Was supposed to see this band in 1988 when I was at FSU we partied too hard the night before! DAMNIT I moved to Oz 10 years later

Most overlooked 80s band Jenna. Those layers of sound. Superb lyrics. Go to song to get bad people GONE. Loved this band Then and Now. btw, every song on this album is amazing. GREAT period album.
I still listen to it.
Probably once or twice a week

I agree
53 yr old military combat vet who first heard this song in high-school and never forgot it and spent more than 40 years trying to find it and finally did!!!! To me it's the kind of song you hear once in your lifetime and never forget it!!!!
The Church is truly a universal band. Goths, Metalheads, Alternative fans and everybody else in between loves them. That's a mark of good music.
I totally agree!
u r right. this group cuts across all musical genres!
Absolutely, they're amazing
I'll add Wire Train to the list.
I absolutely love "I'll Do You" (nonsensical lyrics, IMO) and "Chambers of Hello."
One of the best songs, can't understand how people don't listen to this song nowadays. It's such a golden song
Luana Bárbara
Maravillosa. Me alegra no ser el unico en reconocerlo.
(A todo esto. Eres preciosa.😎)
Luana Bárbara That's because it was made just for me and you gorgeous ;)
The best ever, i enjoy so much the australian rock !
Luana Bárbara love this song, this band. i was kinduv obsessed with them. the best guitar lick ever is in this song. hands down
I listen to this constantly! Loved it then, and I love it now!
That guitar intro is eternal.
I love that guitar
It warms my heart that even today, people still come back to this kind of music. There's still hope for humanity.

Too dangerous to keep
Too feeble to let go
And you want to bite the hand
Shoulda stopped this long ago
Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be gorging on me
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile
Had you coiled around my arm
How could you ever know
How I loved your diamond eyes
But that was long ago
Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile
And I should have believed Eve
She said we had to blow
She was the apple of my eye
It wasn't long ago
Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile
Go now, you've been set free

Back in 86 or the whereabouts Marty came to a show of my band in LA. He and his friend approached me after our gig and asked if I wanted to fly to Australia and record the drums for his solo album. My band was on the verge of being signed and didn’t want to leave them hanging as we were playing together since 81 when we were 13 year olds. I think Marty liked one of our songs and probably hummed it over and over. This song here was faster at the time he saw us and we slowed it down for the recording. The guitar hook in the chorus is the same as Reptile just different timing and probably a different key. A guitarist will know what I’m talking about. Believe it or not I believe we had an influence on him that night. Our singer played a couple of solo shows with Marty in Los Angeles and Marty did have a copy of our record therefor having Kevin open up for him. Hope you guys like it and listen to full record when you can. The Church are one of my all time favorites, saw them a few times back then. th-cam.com/video/evGuJ3_LL6s/w-d-xo.html
That's actually a really cool variation between the two. I like it
@DM You should have allowed comments on your song! It is a good song and still holds up today!
Glad I was scrolling through the comments. Clicked on your link and already, the beginning of your song is beautiful. Thank you
Marty Wilson Piper is an incredible guy. Meeting in person last year was one of the happiest days of that year. He signed all The Church records I had. He's my neighbour now and my friend. He will create a spot here in Porto where ppl can listen to thousands of records and read hundreds of music magazines. I am happy to have donated some...
@@OlhOrebOque sounds like a great guy! Ask him if he still needs a drummer cause I’m available 😂
Believe me when I say I wish I could of recorded on his solo 80’s stuff it would of been amazing. Also, if and when you see him again tell him Damien from Sixtieth Parallel says “hi” and next time he is in Southern California to look me up thanks!
Just heard this song for the first time ever! Wow, trade me 2019 for 1988. God please Take Cardi B and all the commercial no talent modern day singers and bring back true artist!!
Amen to that!
this was only played on College / indie stations . Which are dying today.
Alexis Palacios Just discovered them now at 18-23 pm G.M.T. on the 23/01/20 👍
Why do “everyone” seem to believe that this music or any sort of non-commercial music was popular back then? I mean they were big, but not huge.
Alexis - That would be terrific!!
Back in the day I think I was one of the last kids to get 11 albums on cassettes for 1 penny out of a magazine ad.. This was one of those albums. Good times!
Ustedes son niveles más avanzados de música.
Una maravilla ❤
What a mesmerizing song. The guitar is absolutley enthralling ... I see a woman/ snake with diamond eyes reaching out to him and he can't resist her. What a genius song.
This song marks a turning point for me. I live in San Diego, where the classic rock station is 101.5 FM, which I listened to from 1986 to 1993. It was fine and all, however, after about seven years of hearing Led Zeppelin and the Stones over and over again, it started getting old. So, one day, I started channel surfing when I came across this song on 91x (the alternative rock station). It had already been out for a few years, but it sounded very fresh to me because I had been listening to Zep and the Stones over and over again. I loved it, and over the next few months, I kept listening to 91x waiting for them to play it again. They never did (at least not when I was listening); however, all the time I spent listening/waiting, I was hearing other excellent alternative rock bands, e.g., Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Cracker, etc., and came to realize that the then-new music was just as good if not better than that classic dinosaur stuff I had been listening to. Today, while I maybe a a few months shy of 53, I still listen to 91x ("The 'cutting edge' of rock") and am up to date on all the newest and "coolest" bands - all thanks to The Church and Reptile. Thanks for reading, and until next time - peace out!
Effe Emme Baja California… Mexico
More British than the Brits. Incredible hook and great emo sense.
Remember hearing this song & story at an Amnesty International concert in 86 at the Omni Atlanta GA on how much it moved me… So much injustice in the world still happening…
I don't know how they wrote this, but it's one of the best interplays of guitar I've ever heard.
😢😩😭😭♥️🔥💯💋 I SOOOO MISS THE 80S! LOVE YOU GUYS! THE CHURCH NEVER DIES! LOVE FROM
A DUTCHIE! 🇵🇾
The guitar riff in this is hypnotizing
No smart phones limited television no garbage social media interaction. Imagine hearing this at a house party in the 80s? Bro come on
You sound maybe you were there?
Its strange when talent is left behind..the 80's gave us some amazing sound
Saw them at First Avenue in Minneapolis in 1988
Four musicians at the peak of their powers, and every one of them is playing something completely different; yet the song just works! Perfection.
One of my favorites for karaoke.
Fantastic! Going to see them in a couple of weeks. Been a while. Saw them last in Australia in 1983! Love this band, this song. Thanks for posting!
That opening guitar riff. Flawless victory.
This is one of the most beautiful catchy and melodic rock songs that I have ever heard. Criminally underrated. Fact!
Just saw in Detroit at Majestic. AMAZING show. This SONG was FANTASTIC. You guys are so talented and rock!
There’s something about The Church. Their music has a wonderful, distinct effect on me. It brings out a better side of me. This song is about disgust and contempt, yet expresses those feelings in a classy way, with a hint of melancholy, and a sense of running liberation from a malicious force.
Another totally underrated band. I never stopped listening to them.
Saw them live recently and they still sound amazing after all these years. Great band to see live if you get a chance.
The Church freaking rocks!! I remember buying this cd at Hastings in the 90’s!!!
Great song. Reminds me of a certain girl who eventually scammed a large amount of cash from me. She had great eyes, a beautiful smile and ultimately a cold empty heart. Fascinating to hear the other interpretations of these lyrics.
Saw them open up for Echo and the Bunnymen in the late 80s in Boston. They played this song and the way the guitars echoed through the auditorium sent shivers down my spine. I still crush on Marty, and on Steve's voice.
This song is unreal..such a unique sound.
yes.....absolute it most beautiful love is beautifu and rare....
its a masterpiece. The feeling it creates.
One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. The musicianship is just impeccable.
One of the most underrated band of all time, Absolutely beautiful songs
This is an awesome song. I used to listen to this song on vinyl with the lights turned off, laying on my bed, late at night, back in the 80s.
Me too 💓
My dad just picked this vinyl up and we turned the lights out to experience the music
Melody and counter point, this song is extravagantly beautiful, always has been one of my favorites
James Gilmore., Awesome comment, and Truth 🤜💥🤛
I LOVED these guys in the late 80s. And you know what? They hold up today, in 2022. Rock!
SHE WAS THE APPLE OF MY EYE, BUT THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO...
And I should have believed Eve
She said we had to blow
She was the apple of my eye
It wasn't long ago
The two-guitar interplay on here is perfect.
I love this song! The guitars, the drums, the tempo, plus the lyrics and voice... all fit perfectly together in this masterpiece of sound and mistery.
How Steve sings this song is hypnotic.....almost disdain in his looks & glances
I never thought that when I listened to them back in the eighties that I’d end up doing the artwork for the Kilbey Kennedy album Jupiter 13...funny how life is .
The most romantic anti-love song you can find out there. Absolutely brilliant piece of music.
you could play this time today at any indie venue and no one would notice it's not from 1985, 1995, 2005 or 2015
I am a metal lover. Pantera, old Metallica, old Queensryche, DLR Van Halen, and I have always liatened to The Church. The moods of the music. Guitar sounds. I listen to the whole aspect of the song.
1988... what memories 😳😑😭🤧
Thanks 😉🎸🎶 🇦🇺
Nothing on god's green earth ever sounded like this ever again. The album- 'Starfish.'
The best bass line ever.
better than rush digiral man?
One of my favorite bands of all time! My cousin used to like this band may he R.I.P In loving memory of my cousin Tony. He got caught in a love triangle and got killed! This month is his death anniversary love you cuz, this one s for you!
Thank You for your comment I appreciate it!
Sorry about that bro I lost my cousin to a murder to. memory eternal. music heals
Saw them with Peter Murphy. What an awesome concert.
Nice double bill, one two punch
Such a killer song, the video is just about perfect, filmed in the 80’s at the beautiful Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. Somehow everything just fits perfectly
At .06, that rattlesnake roll just punctuates and foreshadows the tune. Amazing!
That opening guitar is absolutely haunting. A fucking PLUS
I needed this tonight.. just me and my headphones 🎧
One of the greatest riffs in rock.
This is such a brilliant description of a toxic relationship gone to pieces and Steve Kilby's vocals just intensifies in this hypnotic masterpiece
Im kicking myself hard. I Was supposed to see this band in 1988 when I was at FSU we partied too hard the night before! DAMNIT I moved to Oz 10 years later
I just discovered this song 🎵🎶. I can't get enough. I love it 🎸
the best son of the 80s
This song is a true hidden gem. So beautiful. It should be one of the most viewed songs ever!
I'm an 80's scrub.
Proud of it.
Another great tune to play on repeat!
This is my favorite song by The Church.. So dark and eerie .. A classic..
