Thats always makes me think of The Only Fools episode "The Jolly Boys Outing"

From under the covers

I love most of them.

Song for Whoever
Bell Bottomed Tear
Old Red Eyes
Carry on Regardless

My favourite is probably Prettiest Eyes though. My little sister used to love it when my mum played it

Thanks OP, listening to them on Spotify now, it's been too long!

I love the Beautiful South, my favourites are

Don't marry her
A little time
The mediterranean
Rotterdam
Song for whoever

but I love them all.

Only song of theirs I know is This Will Be Our Year and that's because we have the CD single lying around (but I can't find the CD!) I think I might listen to it again.

it's a shame that that's the only song by them that you know as it's not actually one of theirs but a cover version.
Talking of which, I loved their cover of S-Club 7's Don't Stop Moving.

Kymberly · 11/05/11 - 22:15

I might have to seek out their greatest hits albums

[Deleted User] · 11/05/11 - 22:21

Perfect 10!

crazymonk · 11/05/11 - 22:28

I don't know loads of their tracks but Rotterdam (or Anywhere), Don't Marry Her & Perfect 10 are all wonderful!

Joanne MA · 11/05/11 - 22:56

How long's a tear take to dry?
A little time
Let love speak up itself
The Rocking Chair
Look what I found in my beer
The table
Perfect 10

Joey Deacon · 11/05/11 - 23:02

A Little Time is fab.

[Deleted User] · 11/05/11 - 23:05

Dont marry her or whatever it was called.

I really liked the BS not sure what it was about them but their music just seems cool and fresh when you listen to it.

I love Paul Heatons voice as well.

Nebworth90 · 11/05/11 - 23:20

Perfect 10 is a CLASSIC!

I never knew This Will Be Our Year was a cover!

I had never heard much about them but I only found about them because of the CD we had hanging around. I really must check out their other songs.
