The Korgis-If I Had You

[@jackienuttall7549]

This a time when young people like me had the best of everything..music ..a safe country and respect for parents etc

[@mjw123]

What a mess this country is now sadly Jackie :(

Its thanks to parents like you you stupid cunt

[@robertexley5193]

This was an era when Peter Sutcliffe killed vulnerable women and paperboy Jason Swift got shot in the face by a burglar. Stop talking bollocks

[@MarkPMus]

This country had a three day week, strikes, a telly full of pervs and the Yorkshire Ripper. Times are no better or worse. Plus ça change, plus ça reste la meme.

I was 16, into the Jam, Specials, Stranglers etc, and hated this song. it's only now I can appreciate it. like so many others I disregarded at the time .

[@wareidav]

In 1979 I was only 13 years old and knew then that this was going to be a timeless classic.. Boy.. Was I proved right?

[@elainebagley8988]

I was in the maternity hospital waiting for my son to be born,I was in hospital 8 weeks,I listened to this song on my hospital radio head phones,if I had you....if only I knew the pure sadness...that I'm feeling today.,40 years after.

[@mattaddick]

Transports me immediately back to the summer of 1979 when me and a mate used to sing it about a girl we both fancied but didn't have the bottle to do anything about. Well we were both only 13

One of my favourite songs, just a teenager back then, I wish I had a time machine!

[@douglasfreeman3229]

I wish I'd had a time machine back then, so I could go forward in time to when I was happier as a middle-aged man. The past sucks. You are just suffering from nostalgia which blocks out the shit you don't want to remember. Even if your life was undeniably perfect, not everybody was blessed this way.

Love this song. Brings back happy memories of my early teens in the late 70's. Magical times I wish I could repeat.

[@yodenman]

One of my all time favourite songs. I cannot understand why it's so underrated. I have never heard this on the radio for 30 years, and I find that incredible to believe, but it's 100% true. Any radio DJ's out there, please explain !!!

James Warren & Andy Davis - 2 of the UKs greatest song writers. Apart from The Korgis hit singles & 2 albums , they have also recorded 7 albums with their main band Stackridge, all packed with fantastic tunes . Bonus ? They are still out there playing live in the UK with a 7 piece band.

Havent heard this for almost 20 years. Certain songs take you back to a time and place with fond memories, this is one of them. Takes me back to happy childhood memories in 1979. Loved the late 70's and early 80's, a special magical time which I would love to repeat ut now only have the memories of days gone by.

[@moogdome2562]

I can't help but get very emotional when listening to this band. Such beautiful music. Sometimes, it touches my heart so deeply. I can't listen. It reminds me of better days so long ago before the rain set in and I died inside. my life fell apart. Now I live in limbo. ewaiting for true love, that never comes, and my black cloud to vanish.

No need to feel miserable about missing this music . James & Andy ( The Korgis ) are on tour in the UK in April & May with their usual band -Stackridge .
