Saw the Levellers in 1994 at Pinkpop ( Netherlands ). Great vibe but during the days I 'forgot' this band. Till yesterday. My niece ( 18 ) said: ' Did you really went to Pinkpop? What bands were playing? And then I remembered the Levellers again. Great to hear their songs again after so many years.
Oh the nostalgia..takes me back to summer days in the 90s
That long hot Summer of 95. You also had the likes of Supergrass, Pulp, Cast, Oasis and Blur in the top 40
The Levellers...you should all listen...NOW...and ACT...these boys changed my whole thinking back in the days and now more than ever ...
Me too.and they still do.thank u levellers.time the land was leveled again.but not sure the millennials have got the minerals
Cannot believe iv only just discovered the levellers. Cracking.
Saw these live for the 100th time in Hereford Cathedral playing their new album, 'We The Collective' it was brilliant :). I heard that Mark has been ill recently. Get Well Soon 🙂💪
Pure poetry...with a killer riff! Long live the Levellers.
Saw them at Rock City in Nottingham last month - they still know how to kick arse!
Currently playing this to my unborn son 💙💙💙
Words of this song so relevant today.
Saw them last night at Brixton.....first time. Best gig ive ever been to. The energy just amazing! Im still a bit deaf.
One of my favourite bands forever 🇬🇧
This is so 90s in the very best of ways ❤❤❤❤
Makes me want to go back to the UK.

❤ This song
King ❣️ of Scotland
Cornwall 99 magic!
love the sign on the door is the zeitgeist cover never caught on too that brilliant album love it
Those first chords and I’m in a pub having finished my degree instantly about 20-whatnot years ago.
I remember being at my grand parents house in France when this was released I made my mum post it too me
love this song
2021 still love this.xx
Roll on 20th November..... Melkweg, Amsterdam😎
Seen them along the South Coast Venue's Winter gardens and a belter of a night Lead Cliff Hall Folkestone. So wish they could return, classic songs. Why does class like this have so few hits? Maybe it's just us old hits that appreciate quality.
There's a Hope Street in the town where I live.
At the end of road, it use to be the back entrance to Ladbrokes. :)
How can this only have 30k views. Awesome song
Absolutely quality tune!!
Brilliant song and video
Lovely.
I love levellers
That's life
cannot wait for tunes in the dunes Perranporth this summer to see them live after so long
So good 😵😍😜❤️
class tune,its true
Never be that, too good of a band for that 😃👍
This is like if The Cure met The Wildhearts.
Great use of synths!
Hope hope hope
Rain on me comd pouring down.
Class😁
yeah cool x
The best pubs I used to drink and meet people in.
Fark 4 years ago the last comment... What's happened to the old skool listeners?
@@attabull Nice! 2 weeks ago I picked up about 10 amazing old 90s albums at a second hand store (the likes of Blues Traveler, No Doubt and Smashmouth).
❤❤❤❤
Thrashers new video brought me here
Hope street Glasgow
new Les Paul and I love levellers
Get in
Fantastic band and still going strong. It all started here for me when a friend of a friend gave me a cassette of Zeitgeist. Would highly recommend the album Truth and Lies that came later. Somewhat of an underrated album. Anyone know which pub this was in the video?
Love it ... . Shit hot song. 6.11.2018
Hope St.
Levellers
There's a young boy in the queue
Not much else here for him to do
He's had a drink, he's had a few
Down the pub on Hope Street
Dear old lady, you're looking thin
Got a shopping bag with your life in
Your old man's going through the bins
So it goes on Hope Street
Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
And show his face on Hope Street
There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
Blew his money for the week
On a horse called Hope Street
No old faces out today
Someone took them all away
Cleaning up or so they say
The dirty face of Hope Street
Rain on me come pouring down...
Everyday I look at you
Dressed up in your ties of blue
Saying there's not much you can do
To help the kids on Hope Street
They don't seem to even care
That it was you that put them there
You seem to think they like it there
Hanging out on Hope Street
Rain on me come pouring down
I think the Levs were in Sheerness, Kent. Prison island. There is s road named 'hope street' I lived there. Hope Street is opposite an Aldi. Hope street, Sheerness
Zeitgeist
5 years a counting
Hope st. Got a thought down here. I think the great wall of China and hs2 rail links should have been built on the same pricable. Its very similar one town built to the next town give people jobs in thier local area.

It was you that put them there;... You seem to think they like it there, down the pub on Hope St.
11 people have no hope.
It's like the old days... it's always like the old days, something like the seventies. They don't understand how life is now and how it's always been. It's always come to be like this somehow because of them. You want to try it a laundrette to live in sin. Disgusting late night takeaways. I'm so sorry for all your bereavement, I truly am.
As a chef i always think if your gonna use herbs in your dish then cook with them don't sprinkle them round at the end. I feel the same about bands playing in a video that has other stuff in it: Don't fanny around with slow shots of the band playing the song have them fucking playing it properly so we can hear otherwise don't bother and keep with the rest of the video
Anyone know where the pub in the vid is,??
That was me when I lived in Lincoln. Signing on , alcoholic hoping to fuck a horse will come in . It never did
I lived in Lincoln 11 years , on the dole mostly . Living down scorer street near the footy ground , happy times lol

Do you
Love this tune think acoustic is as good tho. I got some live acoustic tunes on here put in Ross Heathorn merry go round or Ross Heathorn flattery. Ross Heathorn my heart is sure conspiracy song. Would appreciate some feedback people peace x
Any 1 got the acoustic version who can post it. I used to have it on the Hope Street single but I cant find it on here, all the other songs seem to be. Its driving me mad as its so much better than this version.
Good tune but it has to be Just The One for me.
does anyone know where the pub in the video actually is? o_O
Brighton, I think. Its in the documentary about them which was out last year.
X
I actually prefer the acoustic version. Classic tune either way tho
Yeah the unheard album before the first one always the best..everything these boys did was truly meaningful.
@@garymcmanus9946 defo. Love em I do. They did an album of acoustic versions of their songs, its super good 👍
the cure could have wrote this its very like them
An acoustic version of this would be really bad. Only 30,000 views that many!!!!
For once just stop bickering between yourselfers. If that's how you treat eachother, then God knows how you treat our towns.
Times before the world went completely insane!!! Great times guys
They were great times
i think the lyrics to fifteen years is what most peoples lives are today ...........
