[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Julian must have been a hero for many teenage girls and boys in the UK at the time.Brilliant frontman in my opinion.

[@colinmennie6447]

[@andycuthbert2763]

Absolutely perfect.Blasting it in 2022 in a Tesco car park-getting stared at like I’m an alien!

[@simone-zt6jj]

Those guys could really play. Brilliant live.

[@matthewbeumer3168]

I really fancied Julian Cope he's a really beauty. A great song from a great album and a great time. Matt the Siouxsie fan

[@robertoriva2758]

Granderrimo Julian Cope! 🖤 Roberto from Italy 🇮🇹

[@therealparanormale]

new wave anthem back then and forever

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Absolutely!!

[@speakfreeley4473]

This & 'Reward' were the two greatest songs from the "Teardrops". Sadly plagued by non-stop infighting from forming to it's demise.

[@Catherine-cf7sk]

Have to agree what great songs

[@rjjcms1]

Reward was their biggest hit,reaching number 6 in March 1981. This was their next single,and a Top 20 hit at the early end of that summer. I bought them both as vinyl 7" singles.

[@ok2760]

It actually doesn't get any better than this

[@davidtaylor3942]

Remember watching them at The Pyramid Club, Liverpool when they were resident there as part of Club Zoo. A very young Craig Charles was also one of the acts - giving us his 'poetry'

[@Davey65100]

In his autobiography, he goes into depth about those Liverpool days...fascinating...

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

One of Liverpool's greatest bands in my opinion.

[@neilhilton35]

One of many great Liverpool groups. Boss place for music 👍👌😃

[@arlenetaylor2888]

What is this song about?

[@questioneverything8301]

What crazy fool put The Teardrop Explodes it is Teardrop Explodes stupid idiots

[@Euthymia]

@@arlenetaylor2888 There's some LSD imagery, the "I can see the veins in my hands showing through" is a common lysergic hallucination. I can only offer my own take on it. "It's just a story" is a reference to the human perception of linear time and memory. We think back to 5 minutes ago, but 5 minutes ago doesn't actually exist. What we think we experienced and how we interpret it is "just a story" we're telling ourselves

[@SuperBlueboy1878]

Seen them at CF Mott college Liverpool best live show i've seen ever to this day.

[@chinchilla687]

I love this song, thank you. x

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Great song by the Liverpool band!!! Julian I salute you !!!

[@johnbarry1965]

Mr Cope was born in Wales but raised in Tamworth

[@rumourhats]

@@johnbarry1965 He moved to Liverpool, and formed a band with Liverpudlians?

[@lennon1482]

@@rumourhats and influenced by the erics scene

[@steviegill5372]

Excellent Mr cope x

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

I agree! Such a formidable frontman I think

[@TripFontaine1976]

Brilliant song, and not a million miles removed from early Duran Duran.

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

True

[@andrewbarr5227]

Except the teardrops were already out there doing it long before duran duran were even a band. .

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Julian was a brilliant frontman of the band!!!

[@rw8733]

The sound of my teenaged world.

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

And great band too!!!

[@DJSTOEK]

Until you realize.....

[@rw8733]

It's just a story ..... 🤣

[@truemansparks]

[@JohnDoe-jd7cg]

Fucking tune. Not like any other before or since.

[@charlesblackburn3402]

Perhaps it was the beginning of the real eighties...
