LUV this song! I first heard it on the legendary comp "20 of Another Kind" (UK 1979). The Skids were in good company: that LP also featured the Jam, Sham 69, the Cure, Stiff Little Fingers, Generation X (w/ Billy Idol), Stranglers, and the Heartbreakers (w/ Johhny Thunders)...

On the live Skids front, i definitely remember a couple of appearances on the OGWT. Though i think youve done one already! I think, An Incident in Algiers and/or, Hurry On Boys are available too, though i dont remember how good the performance is. Havent seen them for years.

This is the very first time that Stuart Adamson’s guitar - in the solo - sounded undeniably Scottish an element which of course he continued both in the Skids and Big Country. The lyrics make no sense - apart from the bit at the end about people dying where they were born and nobody had ever, or would ever make a song that sounds like this! Unique, brilliant and genius from beginning to end! In an era when music is now so bland and all sounds so similar this song reminds us that it doesn’t have to be that way. (The best live versions of The Skids are almost all on the live at Hammersmith Odeon album recorded by the BBC in 1980 which available on KZbin.)

Nice 👍 yeah they are a good band 💯

[@JamesDickson-vs5of]

By the time the skids came along, i had become inebriated by shiny disco balls, Sylvester, and the pallis de dance , the pally to you and me , but I've got to admit i love the skids, they actually hail from a small toon , not 20 miles from where I've lived all my days, there are a few big names from the same wee toon Dunfermline, resillos, Nazareth, Barbara Dickson, and im sure some others , good tune i liked it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 happy healthy peace ✌️

It’s 04:20am and I’m wide awake watching the disintegration of the hated ruling Conservative party as the counting in our General Election continues overnight - in fact I have become the Gleemeister !! And seeing this great post punk track by these favoured sons of Dunfermline has increased that glee 😁… Please don’t worry about not making out the lyrics .. NO ONE CAN Richard Jobson was piss poor at singing and phrasing , but was a good front man . By the time this came out it was obvious that Stuart Adamson was the musical maestro driving The Skids with his unique geetar sound that continued into his time with Big Country . RIP Stuart a genuine geetar hero ✊ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Jay my friend how ya doing brother? Is the conservative government falling down? Yippee down with the loo

[@heathcornbeef]

Right wing governments are against the people i can't figure out why people vote against themselves

[@markferrett700]

Tories have died 😂😂😂

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

@@markferrett700 😆 that bum Sunak and his dodgy thieving Tory mates are gone ✊.. literally , due to precedent the outgoing Prime minister goes through the front gates of Buckingham palace to offer his resignation to jug ears Charlie then HAS to leave by a different side exit with no fanfare - true btw 😝 Go on Keir , start building millions of council houses ya dancer ye ✊ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

@@heathcornbeef there’s not much we can say is better in the uk than anywhere else in the world , but transferring power IS one of them . Lose the election ? Out on yer arse the next morning and your furniture will follow later 😃.. it’s true 😆 !! New guy is literally driving through the front gate of Buckingham palace to see auld Charlie as the outgoing guy is leaving by a side exit the morning after the election . AND I’ll give him his due , Sunak didn’t cry and wave his arms around that the election was stolen , he apologised to his supporters and gave his opponent some really kind words and wished him well running the country that we are all a part of , classy ! ( ARE YOU LISTENING TRUMP ?… THATS how to take a humiliating loss with class and with the best interests of your country at heart … just saying 👀 ) 😆 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johnmavroudis2054]

I like this song... really good stuff with everything that makes this band excellent... but I ADORE "THE SAINTS ARE COMING," "A WOMAN IN WINTER," "CIRCUS GAMES," a bit more... SKIDS really have the knack for producing brilliant sing along anthemic choruses. THANK YOU for returning to this band! You're the best! ...and best of luck with the tailend of the move! I hope everything goes as smooth as possible! P.S. ...Another couple of incredible Scottish bands to check out: THE DELGADOS ("Bits Of Bone," "Now and Forever," "I Fought The Angels" "The City Consumes Us") FRIGHTENED RABBIT ("Swim Until You Can't See Land")

[@l.salisbury1253]

I'd add the Rezillos to that list- their complete '78 LP "Can't Stand the Rezillos"...

[@Sandy-dd4le]

Circus Games and The Saints are Coming are pretty much mandatory

[@ghichens3418]

Splendiffic ! Yes to more Skids . maybe "Masquerade " could be next on this Ace bands to do list ! I like the" Have to buy different Pots for the Oven " I am going to try that " Need another Motorbike for weekends ! Do you think my other half will go for that ? Cheers

Singer Richard Jobson admits his favourite song is Masquerade, also mine too. You'll definitely need the lyrics if you react to this song 👍

Can't wait for my INXS & Max Q requests.

It's late go to bed NOW 😊

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

I think that it's the Scottish accent throwing you, I think perhaps when you do them next time get the lyrics ready. It's bound to take some time to settle in, Chris and Cynthia. I donated some money to your Go Fund Me which might help with the extra expenses.

[@hanierfamily]

Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. And it helped us buy new cookware for our new induction oven. It's a great oven, but what a thing! We had no pots or pans that would work on the surface.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

@@hanierfamily I know what you mean, a friend of mine gave me an induction hob (hotplates) when my mine packed up last year so, I had to do exactly the same thing as you as I didn't have anything to use on it. I'm glad that the money came in useful, I wish that I could afford to have donated more but it's a tight month money-wise for me.

[@hanierfamily]

@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. We're just glad you're enjoying our work.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

@@hanierfamily Of course, I look forward to it and stay up late to watch your reactions whenever I can, it's 4.17am here and I'm just off to bed now. Keep up the good work. I'm so glad that you were able to find somewhere suitable for you all to live.

[@Sandy-dd4le]

The Fife accent is without doubt, the most horrendous in all of Scotland, and im a Fifer!

Induction stove tops 😠😡🤬
