this album got me thru some very hard times, not only that, has anyone seen long way round? they used so many stereophonics songs but this one matches the end the best, when their wives and charleys daughters run out and suprise them, never fails to bring a tear to my eye.. beautiful song
this song literally perfectly reflects the searing sometimes tormenting pain and regret and the spectre of haunting memory's you feel when someone you still love leaves your life, like many ppl world wide this has been me, these emotions and expressions via lyrics are exact. time doesnt always heal us alas
You are spot on Paul, the 2 below are right and wrong, lol, Kelly admitted he wrote this when his girlfriend at the time cheated on him with his friend and band photographer, Kelly went nuts and damaged the dudes house..... Jones commented that "What I did was completely out of character - but what he did was wrong", later writing the song "Rainbows and Pots of Gold" in response to the event. So he lost both a love and a friend. We've all been there Paul, but when the rich and famous write songs about it, it at least makes you realise you are not alone in the world, that gives me comfort
A song without a chorus. Kelly Jones really needs to be seen as the amazing story teller he is. I prefer his voice now.. not over raspy. I'd like to hear him sing it now. Brilliant.
The song is about missing his best friend, not his girlfriend. His best friend went off with his girlfriend. The best friend was also his photographer.
I've been criticised and lost many of my friends over a bad breakup that sent me spinning for a good 7 years... and 9 years on, I'm still feeling the effect of that mindf*ck that that love affair had on my life. I've lost it all and trying to find myself back... If there's one thing I could share with the world, it's that you should NEVER get into a love affair if your guts tell you there's something amiss from the start - and we ALL CAN FEEL IT. Sometimes, ego and deep issues we haven't dealt with make the decisions for us. Listen to your soul and always, always love yourself FIRST. My 2 cents.
as a break up song goes... loss, rebuilding, admitting your faults, missing and wanting to rebuild just as friends... perfect. just for the loss of your one time best friend.
I lost my way but found my track I'm sorry if I never listened back I've been round I've been up and down And you missed the one we dressed like clowns And how's your car and how's your life? How's my friend when's she gonna be your wife? I'm sitting up writing down These things I sometimes dream about...one more time, Kelly :)
@12Musiclol34 Thank you for the explanation! it's weird because i always identified myself to this song, always reminded me of my girlfriend, except of that frase. lol
I heard you're doing well Selling art and everything I like your stuff good for you I'll buy a piece or maybe two Do you ever think of me? Do you remember all our stupid dreams? Rainbows and pots of gold So much to prove before we got old I took you places round the world I miss your face sometimes you know You took my picture a thousand times I'll buy them back I don't mind I lost my way but found my track I'm sorry if I never listened back I've been round I've been up and down And you missed the one we dressed like clowns And how's your car and how's your life? How's my friend when's she gonna be your wife? I'm sitting up writing down These things I sometimes dream about I knew your number off by heart It's the only one I like to talk It wasn't me using you I trusted you one of the few And we had some laughs had some rows But in the end the walls came down You like the place I'm living now It's a shame you can't come around And I've grown a lot since we last spoke Got myself together fixed what was broke I wonder if we'll talk again Or drink together just like then I suppose it's different now it's new Whoever points the finger at who I really hope you're happy both of you And maybe sometimes you miss me too
I always thought this song wait aimed at his ex-girlfriend. Turns out it's aimed at the guy who is/was dating his ex. He wrote it after smashing up his car and house (How's your car and how's your life)
I believe this song is about his ex, and more precisely about his friend who started dating his ex, barely a month after they broke up of their 5 years relation, right?
JoaoJMatias This song is about Kelly's best friend, who was also the band's photographer, who was in love with and eventually ended up with Kelly's gf of many yrs.
It was written about his girlfriend at a time.They dated for long while and broke some time before this album.She later started dating his very good friend which led to Kelly going nuts n breaking his car or whatsoever,dont recall all the details.Anyhow,it's not about Stuart.
Buddy.There's no indication about it being of Stuart.He was already in a band while it was being recorded.He hasn't left the band.He left the bend just after the album was out.

IT MIGHT FIT AS WELL, BUT THERE IS A LINE THAT MAKES ME THINK HE IS SINGING ABOUT A FRIEND, NOT A LOVE
it's a song about lost friend

Fuck! 4 years ago!? Hoping you're in a better place now mate :-)
This is what music should be about, putting your heart and soul into what you write.
Fantastic song!
This song brings back some old memories, sad memories and some of the best in my life! Perfect song with perfect lyrics!
Jones puts so much feeling in this song it's amazing how it touches you.
In 2018 still listening anyone else ? What a song !
2019.
William Barton 2019 May lol
One of there best albums if not the best
2019
October 2019
old stereophonics can't be beaten in terms of lyrical storytelling
This song never gets old. The raw emotion echos
Masterpiece song. Awesome lyrics sung by a great voice full of anger.
Such a masterpiece idea, though we left it behind a whole time ago. Different ages, different rock n rolls. :)
A song without a chorus. Kelly Jones really needs to be seen as the amazing story teller he is.

Best song ever

Over and over again!
Thank you for it and for the lyrics!

I just found this song & damn it touched me deep inside..
This song always gives me the feels.
This song is so relevant to my current situation and just a fantastic song. Thanks for posting!
........ and maybe one day you`ll miss me too............ love this song and the story behind it.
this song always makes me cry
Same everytime gives me chills.
the way i would belt this song out over and over when i was like 16 years old lol. i wouldn't actually have a relationship for 20 years
Who still listen to this album me 2022 July
What a track tells the true feeling of how friends mess up some times, when they can’t see what’s happening in front of them.
Cant listen to the lyrics of this without feeling sad. Epic song though.
Kelly one of your best! Makes me cry
perfect! this song makes me cry :(
This song hooked me into this band, cant believe its been 10 years
the art of typing the few lyrics of a song you know into google search= finding good music
simply the most amazing song ever!
as a break up song goes... loss, rebuilding, admitting your faults, missing and wanting to rebuild just as friends... perfect. just for the loss of your one time best friend.
what a beautiful song...
Fantastic.................

2 people dont have a clue whats going on here! what a story. what a tune !!
I lost my way but found my track
I'm sorry if I never listened back
I've been round I've been up and down
And you missed the one we dressed like clowns
And how's your car and how's your life?
How's my friend when's she gonna be your wife?
I'm sitting up writing down
These things I sometimes dream about...one more time, Kelly :)
Amazing.
Class
Where my 2021 peeps at?
When you see a rainbow and the person you love is not there to share it with 23 August 2024 😢
I wonder if we'll talk again...
Everybody thinks he’s singing this to his ex mrs but he’s actually singing it to one of his best mates who tucked him up and went off with his mrs
And maybe, sometimes, you miss me too.
I like to think that one or two sentences are to a specific friend; old, new or the long-gone ones.
2023
Almost 2024
Relatable
Got myself together; fixed what was broke
this song was written when kelly jones found that his best friend was courting the girl who was kelly's girlfriend for 14 years.
This song is old friends or people we grew apart from
Hello from 2020
Hello from 2021
kitten black with teeny bit of white fluff ball
Awesome
i have to be at least 30% of the 67,610.....great Fin song!!
Is there an instrumental version of this song in mp3 format? Love the song....
yep and thats exactly what i do,awsome song.
@12Musiclol34 Thank you for the explanation! it's weird because i always identified myself to this song, always reminded me of my girlfriend, except of that frase. lol
I heard you're doing well
Selling art and everything
I like your stuff good for you
I'll buy a piece or maybe two
Do you ever think of me?
Do you remember all our stupid dreams?
Rainbows and pots of gold
So much to prove before we got old
I took you places round the world
I miss your face sometimes you know
You took my picture a thousand times
I'll buy them back I don't mind
I lost my way but found my track
I'm sorry if I never listened back
I've been round I've been up and down
And you missed the one we dressed like clowns
And how's your car and how's your life?
How's my friend when's she gonna be your wife?
I'm sitting up writing down
These things I sometimes dream about
I knew your number off by heart
It's the only one I like to talk
It wasn't me using you
I trusted you one of the few
And we had some laughs had some rows
But in the end the walls came down
You like the place I'm living now
It's a shame you can't come around
And I've grown a lot since we last spoke
Got myself together fixed what was broke
I wonder if we'll talk again
Or drink together just like then
I suppose it's different now it's new
Whoever points the finger at who
I really hope you're happy both of you
And maybe sometimes you miss me too
Graffiti On The Train sounds similar to this
I loved someone and I knew her number off by heart still mates but we have our lives
it tells about every friend I had since I was 12...
I wonder how is the story of the cover of YGGTTCB
2020 in this bitch
Such a moody fuking tune! But ILOVE IT!!
I always thought this song wait aimed at his ex-girlfriend. Turns out it's aimed at the guy who is/was dating his ex. He wrote it after smashing up his car and house (How's your car and how's your life)
hows my friend when shes gonna be your wife ? about an ex GF ? so who is he asking then ? :)
@@marcusanton literally answered your own question
Do you remeber all our stupid dreams?...
❤
The whole song is about his friend not his gf...
I believe this song is about his ex, and more precisely about his friend who started dating his ex, barely a month after they broke up of their 5 years relation, right?
Alexandre Haïs That's right. And his friend was a photographer close to band (Kelly specifically) as stated in the lyrics.
Makes sense, when he says "hows my friend, whens she guna be your wife?"
@12Musiclol34 that's interesting, thanks !!!
Haha 2020
THATS KELLYS DA D AND OLSER BROTHER KEVIN ON THE FRONT OF THE ALBUM IN THE BUSH INN IN CWMAMAN.
I'm from Taiwan, is "rainbows and pots of gold" some metaphor or story in the west? Or it's just between Kelly and his friend.
Indeed it is - luckyireland.com/the-origin-of-a-pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-the-rainbow/
everythings going to be broken -.-
@mrmultiwhore hell yea lol The lost boys on tour?
@JoaoJMatias in that line hes talking to his "friend" who got with his ex
💕
@coolbeans3579 It's about the friend not the girl though.
this song is based on story of his best friend takink over her GF
@TERRIMOO07
And now they're full?
i don't get it, why does he say "How's my friend, when she's gonna be YOUR WIFE?"
was his ex lesbian? i really don't get it
JoaoJMatias This song is about Kelly's best friend, who was also the band's photographer, who was in love with and eventually ended up with Kelly's gf of many yrs.
the meaning behind this song is - his girlfriend of 12 years ran off with the bands photographer....
I'm afraid my ex could get married. goddamnit.
i thought it said selling out in everything. havnt heard this for years. how they fly... songs a bit whiney though
hahaha
much better with pot
Ya arkadaş neden sağ tarafta azer bülbül çıkıyor amk ?
....think this is for stuart
It was written about his girlfriend at a time.They dated for long while and broke some time before this album.She later started dating his very good friend which led to Kelly going nuts n breaking his car or whatsoever,dont recall all the details.Anyhow,it's not about Stuart.
It is about Stuart not her. "Hows my friend whens she gonna be your wife?"
Buddy.There's no indication about it being of Stuart.He was already in a band while it was being recorded.He hasn't left the band.He left the bend just after the album was out.
come on guys .... its all about the photgrapher of the band, who dated Kelly ex girlfriend. at least i read it that way.
I can't help but think Adele stole her ideas from this song..
fuck Adele!
