Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott - The Austerity Of Love

[@michaelobrien9825]

FOLLOWED MR HEATON SINCE THE HOUSE MARTIN DAYS, ONE OF THE BEST SINGER SONGWRITERS TO COME OUT OF BRITAIN .

[@torstenfischer7897]

Never forgot The Beautiful South... I am a great from Paul from the south east of Germany, Paul Is The King Of Pop.

[@allanscotthyde1227]

Me too since 84? Happy hour

[@julianlinsel4346]

Such a great song and can't understand why it's never played on the radio

[@CrookerSpark]

It was rinsed on radio 2 when it was first came out then just suddenly stopped.... I think when they finally realised it was just full on innuendo!

[@Burns1993Joe]

I don’t think Paul Heaton has ever written a bad song. What a genius!

[@neilt7145]

The best underrated songwriter of all time.

[@CB-xr1eg]

" underrated ", the most overused word of all time!

[@wilkesysublime]

He’s not understated in Hull, we love Paul here

[@astrophysisman]

Paul Heaton - Musical Genius - Jacqui Abbott - amazing voice - together? Brilliant!

[@thoskel1]

Heaton would give McCartney a run for his money for the title of best song writer ever. Jacqui Abbott has the most beautiful female voice I ever heard. Would love to meet them someday.

[@lachlanhyndman4898]

Was just thinking that to myself ten minutes ago

[@kwakkers68]

J's good. But she's no Briana.

[@andygleaves4157]

@@kwakkers68 she's not ur right... Shes better! 🤫🤫🤫

[@stiftzahnheini3975]

Great Britain, great! You can be so proud of having such good musicians like Paul&Jacqui, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Oasis, OMD, Beautiful South, Human League and so on. I regulary fly to concerts. I hope, i will be welcome on your island after Brexit. Andre from germany

[@jimjon81]

Don't forget Jedward

[@spreadthelove77]

[@Simplesimple123]

[@CB-xr1eg]

+1chipchap Not just one voice on the song..Jacqui sings great too.

[@Simplesimple123]

[@paulsalisbury691]

Great song... great video... Heaton just keeps doing it x

[@Rob99552]

Really love this song, and it has had a lot of coverage on the radio, I can't understand why it's not a hit in the charts.

[@nickpalmer3076]

They go together so well.

[@johnygail]

[@njf669x]

[@chipsthedog1]

I will never understand how they didn't really break America but I kind of like it, our little secret only shared with people who know how to find great music

[@mandynichol9998]

I heard this song on the radio this morning and I have searched you tube for it. It is such a catchy tune I have had it in my head all day. Im away to listen to the rest on here. xx

[@markwilliams7054]

What station?

[@catgirlKL]

Another great tune from the excellent Paul and Jacqui

[@drjazzisme]

A brilliant song again from this pair,what talent,and I cant stop humming it,had me looking up a couple of words to confirm what they mean,and theyre spot on for this song.cant wait to hear what other gems are on the album,gona get it SAP.

[@obiwon8717]

[@barrellmeister]

Smashing song beautifully sung.

[@Scottyboy9999]

I didn’t know you guys still did music til now. And know I’m glad I didn’t know because all these years later I have the pleasure of a whole raft of songs to go through and enjoy. Outstanding! This is my favourite by far though. I cannot define its genre. Bubblegum pop, reggae, 60s and a million more things rolled into one. The catchiest number I have heard in many many years. Thank you

[@paulg1886]

Mr Heaton is a legend

[@paulweedon3534]

Fabulous

[@Niamhcotts]

wow!!!

[@lyndseykramer]

Past this now; the time of poverty and austerity, where people still had enough to help each other. It is over. Now, people need food reduced to 10 pence or they have to skip dive. Tried that in my local town Salisbury recently?

[@carolinegreen1621]

Fab xxxxx love from Caroline Hull xxxxx

[@alandavis6118]

Excellent song. And isn't Croydon looking lovely too?

[@eloisechristina]

This is such a good song :)

[@PeterHalfpenny]

Where can you buy this jacket

[@looneybergonzi]

I liked Paul Heaton more when I found out he's an avid collector of crisp packets.

[@BazMay]

I knew he was a mad crisp addict....! But he collects packets ? Mad random that.

[@fraserconnell21]

I love off white phone boxes. Maybe duckshell 🤔. Humberside communications. Rock my world💥. I can play a game of chess,with my brother who beat me up, Long as I can recall. Over an evening.. Hull should have been where this nation went! But the city of London Took us all for mugs.. So,burn the city, thank u Paul for all you done, our City's son With your double soul northern soul....

[@garrywallace7569]

2019 anybody...

[@lyndseykramer]

Nice, well sung, well written. Political message on austerity somewhat lost.

[@Fludded]

Drab and Samey.

brilliant JC4PM

[@magicmoonart]

I love this music and the video is very good too, I love how all the woman have meat on their bones and have proper women's figure, so very attractive! I am sooo jealous, I'm just a scrawny thing :(((

[@JohnDwyer1983]

+Rosie Shaw Don't try to get fat, there's nothing wrong with a bit of fat, but then there's nothing wrong with being your natural self. If anyone tells you that you're not attractive, look at them, they're probably no prize. More than likely jealous of you too. People are funny like that, i'm writing a song about it.

[@magicmoonart]

I know they are jealous but they shouldn't be. I look much better with meat on my bones. I hate being skinny but it's nothing to do with anybody else telling me I'm unattractive. I've always thought fatter was more attractive. Everything I want is because I want it, not doing it for anybody else. I know a lot of women do that but I don't.

[@JohnDwyer1983]

+Rosie Shaw Recently, there's been a push from the media that bigger is beautiful, and even in songs such as "all about that bass" and "Anaconda" pushing not just a pro fat agenda, but an anti skinny one. Don't think you're not beautiful because of this type of trash in the media. Be happy inside yourself and be comfortable inside your own body. Anything else means you are trying to be someone that you are not.

[@magicmoonart]

John Dwyer But you don't understand. I've wanted to be fat since I was a child; when there was no media pushing fat and I knew nothing of media pushing thin. I have my own mind, I know it. Also I look extremely sexy when I'm fatter, about 8 stone plus. I look hidious skinny.

[@JohnDwyer1983]

You're quite pretty though, you know that?

[@carolinegreen1621]
