Cottage Love isn't on the re release.

Yuo can hear the 10CC influence, bought this LP when I was 11!!!

I'm somebody who is into potential for paradoxes and metaphor. As my marriage collapsed in tension and lack of affection or emotional closeness, I listened to this song a lot. I wasn't seeing or messing with any other women But to me this song isn't necessarily about cheating. To me this song is quite possibly about wishing for a deepest that you never found or a love that you thought that might be a deepest love that you thought you found and put your all into but turned out not to be able to be. Del Amitri's work, which should be SO much more well known and appreciated, is, to me, full of potential metaphor and paradox Like best literature, Del Amitri's work has one set of things obvious at the top level and SO MANY things

I'm revving up to start an internet radio station that will feature this and a ton of other pop bands that never got the recognition they deserved and some who did (XTC, Beatles, Squeeze etc.) Band suggestions welcome! Jellyfish is already on the list 😊😮

Best band out of 80's!

Del Amitrie never fail to grab hold of the heart strings and play all the right chords,some of these guys lyrics are legendary

Best DelAmitri album!

The dogs bollocks!

Only 247 people out of 54, 000 who listened could be arsed hitting the like button. Shame on you all.

Another killer horn part…

This song randomly popped in my head a few months ago after not hearing it for a good 20 years at least, and all I had to go on in my search for it was some misremembered lyrics. And lo and behold just last weekend by total luck I found it on Spotify. This really should've been a bigger hit than it was stateside. Also, I know they're from Scotland, but is it just me or does this song have some west coast vibes?

This is a song other bands could launch a career from but for the Dels it was a b-side. Always deserved far more recognition and success than they got.

Ladies and Gentlemen! We're the Tubes!!! Best band I've ever had the fortune to witness in my life. Three times. Different each time. Blow away each time. You really define generations of music!

Fee and Tubulars, you are just so brilliant!

What's the exact scenario you envisage for the characters in the song?

1:22 is what i remembered for so long, but not the lyrics. Only the melody. I finally decided to use google's song search where you can hum the tune, and here I am.

That Bass line. Excellent.

This song feels like it would've worked better with Jakob Dylan's voice.

My favourite ever Del Amitri song. Lyrically brilliant

I heard this song on a Q Magazine compilation CD and I was a lifelong fan from that moment.

That whole album is the most timeless i can think of. Every song a banger, lyrics relatable, that guitarwork. Just wow, i hope i can hear this for another 30 years.

Sometimes the regret is more beautiful than the reality.

Absolute ear candy. I crave it. You Scots are brilliant: Colin Hay, Del Amitri, Teenage Fan Club, Trashcan Sinatras.

Stunning song

It’s funny to see all the wrong words I’ve been singing for the last 20 odd years….

Be my great regret

Anyone know who the female vocalist is on this? Always wondered.

I got a wayward sign OR I got a way [or away] with sin Some people don't care if you're deaf or blind.

Fkn love this song !!Tubes getting Funky w/ Maurice Earth W @Fire!!

God I love Justin and Del Amitri for giving us songs from the heart

Fucking gorgeous dude

This is my favorite SC song. It shows the range of the band and Paul's vocals that go from soft to hard af. Instrumentally outstanding!

My fav song, of my fav band.

For Charlotte a.k.a. 'Charlie' (1992-1997) Thanks for turning me on to Del Amitri, it was the best gift you ever gave me in our short time together!

🐜

Manchester at it's best!

Spettacolare

a favorite one

Best song ever hands down

Will be seeing these guys in Philly in cpl weeks. Am so looking forward to the event. Really hope they cover this one.

I learned of this song from hearing it played in a few truck stops every now & then, being a professional driver. I wasn't sure who the group was doing the singing but I thought they sounded like a pop group from the 80's/90's by name of The Smithereens. I finally got internet & I discovered the seemingly limitless things I could explore so I typed in the group I thought it might be & the possible title & Del Amitri & the song title popped up & I listened to it & it turned out 2 be the song I had heard. What a song. Very unknown & underr8ed. I never was much 4 watching sports but I'm quite the music enthusiast. 😌

Well said real live horn sections coupled with a bassline and study drum kick/snare snappIng the words of the late great James Brown saying "Take it the Bridge".@

If you can sing it and hold the long note you get endorphins through your entire body.

The ultimate train journey song to be with the one you love.

Legendär!

One of their best songs. I own Justin's handwritten lyrics for this song...
