↓ LYRICS ↓

Son, I'm 30
I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty
And I don't have a decent bone in me
What you get is just what you see, yeah
I see it so, I take it greedy

And all the bad piss ugly things I feed me
I never help or give to the needy
Come on and see me
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey

I had to crucify some brother today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
I said, "Dad, you're a shabby

You run around and groove like a baggy
You're only here just out of habit
Oh, it's mine, you might as well have it
You take ten feet back and then stab it
Spray it on and tag it"
So sack on me
I can't stand the needy

Get around here when you're put off your feeding
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify somebody today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice
So sack all the needy
I can't stand to leave it

You come around here, and you puff up your feeding
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify somebody today
And I don't dig what you gotta say
So go on and say it
Yippee-ippee-ay-ay-ay-yey-yey
I had to crucify some brother today
And I don't hear what you gotta say
So come on and say it
And come on and tell me twice

[therollingbeachfloyd]

Shaun on vocals, Paul on bass, Mark on guitar, Gary on drums, Knobhead on keyboards and Bez on E.

[clp]

RIP Paul Ryder. His bass put the groove into the Happy Mondays signature sound. Between him and Mark Day on guitar they were technically very capable.

[shaunprawn]

Fit birds, and band of pillheads and an absolute banger of a tune. What more could a man want?

[humdrum]

That winding, grinding, guitar riff is genius. Like an Escher staircase bringing you to the top, only to dump you back at the bottom and off we go again. Brilliance.

[ktwojapan]

R.I.P - tragic to hear he died hours before a gig, but glad to hear he was still doing what he loved at 58!

[jamsheadaziz]

Fabulous tune. Still listening after 34 years of being released. Two Timeless Classic.

[geoffreyjonathanwilson]

Who else still loves the Mondays? I was 16/17 in '90 and loved 'em!!

[progdv]

The bass line is ridiculous.its got to be one of the catchiest of all time.brilliant track

[funforkidsforever]

The world would be a better place if we all just chilled out and danced like Bez. The happiest music ever.

[The_ATARI_King]

I left school in 89 and got and apprenticeship.. with my wages bought a Sony BIG Stereo it had an alarm where it would turn on and play the CD that was inside it.

I woke up to the first 8bars of this song for months... Great times, few £ in pocket, clubs, beers, dancing and girls.

Great sweet memories (as the wife snores beside me now !!!)

[archipelago]

Huge respect and big ups to Paul Ryder. You will be well remembered

[carlosabianfernandez]

R..I.P Paul Ryder. Happy Mondays was one of my favourite bands during my teenage years

[kolloduke]

That unique guitar sound gets me every ...time

[soulmergeTTF]

never fails to surprise me the negative things people have to contribute rather than stay silent when they've nothing sensible or relative to say... This is not only a true classic for MUSICAL and Video achievement, but a symbol if friendship and solidarity amongst ypung mucisians..
England this is something to be truly proud of for home grown talent for all involved in this video and song and a celebration for what people can do when they join. all time classic

[thomaslippiatt]

One of the most criminally underrated bands ever with one of the greatest lyrically genius’s this country ever produced

[Billy-xoyy]

Always heard about the happy Mondays but never listened to their music until yesterday… it’s safe to say I’m now a fan these lads were classs

[riskromer]

One of the most iconic bass lines of the 90's. Bon voyage, Paul

[malcolmshorter]

This is a brilliant tune and hasn't aged at all.
Awsome 90's.

[papanoel]

I've said it b4 but I swear kinky afro has the best opening line in music ever.

[robertwiles]

This is truly one of the most stunningly amazing songs of all time. With an iconic video to match. Well done boys.
