Badly Drawn Boy - Pissing In The Wind Lyrics

Talk about being underrated

November 2019??? ❤❤❤

December even.

@Grinder-one Great! 👍🏽😊

I heard Joan was quite “difficult” filming this video but by god, there is no substitute for class. She has still got it in spades.

Always magical xxx
Sooo me xxx

😆😁😄😇😊☺️🥰

R.i.p Stuart :(

They censured the word “pissing”??? Seriously!

Why has she still got makeup on in and out of the bath ?...

The fact Joan is in the is an inspiration. Also showing us she has never left her roots.... Fucking classic

Great song, what a wonderful surprise, never heard of it. And Joan Collins looks phantastic in her late 60s here. She is still gorgeous now.

Stuart brought me here R.I.P!

English Elliot Smith

i didnt know liz taylor could sing so well

He's a cutie :)

Wonderful Song... And Wonderful Videoclip😊

I love the song so much but this is the spitting in the wind, not pissing, just a comment

+Dave Wavy I agree totally .must be the fucking American censors again

Your wrong it's called pissing in the wind . This is just the clean version with the words changed .

+Matthew Trotman ok the best thing for me in this song is there is a moment in this video when Joan Collins smiles and you can see is genuine, and she looks so beautiful, so young again, is amazing what a smile can do

Pissing

The name of this song is funny!!

I unreservedly love and admire the great Joan Collins.   A self-made star, she lit out for Hollywood to escape dreary 50s Britain, worked so hard, and never stopped.  She's a go-getter, and I love this video for showing her vulnerable, sad side. We all have those times.  She's a legend and I adore her.  Very lovely song too!  :)

How could this have any dislikes?, tis a great analogy

+Tina McDoof because sadly there are morons out there who unfortunately have access to the internet, they ruin it for the rest of us

superbe...

Marvellous song

My BFF-girl got cheered-up by this song and video after she broke up with her long term husband - yes, I am her true and honest friend. Men come and go, but a gay man's friendship never ends (not saying BDB is like me) The symbolic value of this video means a lot for many women, i think. Well done video & and a nice song, indeed.

@Angus McBastard
I have no say if somebody wants to comment on my comment but I should hope those who do it anyway would act and write as an adult and with mature manners. So, you anxious teenagers Angus McBastard (which barely is your real name),  you seem to be tired and sad in your life. Get a new one. Best wishes, Timo Hyvönen (my real name so you don't have a reason to weep about it). And to Aubrey: thank's for sharing your opinions, have a nice day :)

@Timbardur62 no shit, my real name isn't Angus McBastard?  fuck me Sherlock Holmes has nothing on you does he?    Tired? Sick?  You are damn right I am, of  indulgent societies who want to award every fucking  gimp for doing fuck all.   So the guys gay? So fucking what?  You don't see straight people going on about how they demand this and demand that. Or that they have a better relationship with whatever because of their sexuality.  Fuck off, you want equality, then stop hiding behind sexuality and just be YOU    FFS  you guys are worse than fucking feminists

@Angus McBastard these arguments will lead nowhere. our current races and socio economic situations will be meaningless and other groups of people will hate new groups of people for completely different reasons in a thousand years or so. we base all our arguments on religions that at most date around 2600 years ago. in reality the human species has been around for somewhere between 60,000 to 125,000 years as we know it. if you think the earth is only 6000 years old then I have no argument for you because science has irrefutably proven otherwise. in other words all these statements one day in the not so distant future will seen archaic and will in no way apply to society.
if you want to progress as a society now, then it is time now more than ever to stop arguing and learn to work together.  We have climate change, lack of resources, disease, mass weapons, differing politics, rising oceans, energy consumption and a slew of other problems more urgent to deal with. wouldn't it be beautiful if we could solve these issues by working together. If not then you better prepare for the fabric of society to rust until the human species destroys itself.

@aubrey mitchell  I hear you.  unfortunately I believe the time when genuine equality is there for ALL sexes and ALL sexual preferences is astoundingly far off.  Mainly in part to attitudes such as that above.  A truly ridiculous thing to say.  We would not tolerate it if it was said by a heterosexual man, nor if this was a statement made by a white man about a black woman or vice versa.  ( which was my initial point. I don't understand if he is such a good friend to this girl why he feels that he has to say " and its all thanks to my being gay "       laughable )

BE a friend, enjoy the music. but leave your sexuality at the home where it belongs....in your 'private life'   Remember those?   Remember when your sex life took place in the comfort of your own home and not on your tee shirt?

is it ok to like the song as a straight man too lol :P, nevertheless props for real friendship bro

The part when she starts to cry and he holds her makes me wanna cry :')

He looks a bit like dainton from Dirty Sanchez

Great song.

qué video! qué canción! <3

What a great song.

fabulous

i looooooveeeee

my fave :):

spitzing in the wind?

Yeah, what's up with that?

Hi, you're quite not nice and I very don't know why :-( I was just liking this song for about few years and now I discovered it is not Joan Collins. It;s a surprise for me. I haven't heard any other BDB songs.

?! So you state that the role of Joan Collins is only a lip synch?! I'm shocked, really... because I thought it's her deep sexy voice...

Okay I can't link the wikipedia so you have to do it on your own. Search "The Hour of Bewilderbeast".

Okay thanks for the normal tone, but the thing is, Joan does not sing a single note in this music. It was Damon Gough. (the BDB) Just because you see Joan's lips are moving, don't believe she really sings. It was just some kind of joke. It is Damon Gough's voice and if it isn't enough obvious to you, then check out the guest performers on this album of BDB. I'll help you with it!

OK, but the thing is that the lead vocal in this great song is sung by Joan, not BDW - as you can see, he only plays the guitar. I know that he wrote it, but I think that what is the most catchy, attractive and wonderful thing in this song - is her deep vocal, and the interesing video of course.

Wtf you on?

Pissing

Spitting in the wind? That ain't the title.

badly drawn boy = underrated

okay, nothing bad with Joan Collins, but stop talkin' about her!!! This is a badly drawn boy video, and I'm pissed of because the top comments are not about it!!! This song is legendary, and deserves more than that!

and on a lighter note...its definitely a white tie and tea cosy event......

i think joan actually knows what the true meaning of the song is.....unrequited love,shallowness,friendship,happiness,sadness,love,hope,hoplessness,honesty,and eventually everything seems better............love it.

@rix16 I was just about to say the same thing!

A very underated song this....love it !

I love this song, and the fact that he changes into a tux but keeps his hat on.

does anyone else think she looks more beautiful when she is not done up, than when she is all done up at the end of the video. ??

What happened to this guy??? He had amazing songs and this one was out of this world.

Fab :) Cheered me up no end! Ha ha x

I love this song... Best album EVER! ON my list of most beautiful albums.

Isaw him at this years Godiva Festival in Coventry

It's been years that this song stays among my very favourites from british indie. And Joan Collins in the video... well... pure delight ;)

Damn youtube not having ratings anymore. God I want to 5 star this rather than just "like"

Love this song :)

But this is not the original album version, wich was censored and never got aired on tv...infact the correct title is "Spitting in the wind"...the lyrics are slightly different...but still a great artist...

Yes, that's sooo sweet. Love the whole video, what a great idea!! Sooo nice.. :-)

I love this. He's like her guardian angel, it's so sweet

❤❤❤

she looks fabulous...
great song

Great song and great video!!!

very Jimmy Nail-ish ( crocodile shoes-series)

joan collins certainly looks great

my ex-wife!! DIRTY BITCH!!! ;0)

The videos fantastic...like an episode from Dynasty where Alexis shagged Benny from Crossroads...

I know, but people are saying that the spitting actually should be pissing, which is why I'm asking the above question...

no when he "chances his foolish grin" is when he drools on himself

If the lyric should be "pissing in the wind", who dribbles their piss on their chin..?

Even a big ol' 'mo like me can appreciate Miss Collins' leg in that dress (though I prefer the rough trade looks of our Badly Drawn Boy :) ).

10 points! :D

check out jgDzCDSLxOg on the album it's pissing, this is the 'parent friendly' version.

the song name might be "pissing in the wind", however, he definitely sounds like he says "spitting" in the first line of the song.

look, i've got the album right in front of me, and it says "pissing". If I had a camera I could take a photo for you :S

ive had her

Joan you are the most beautiful woman on the planet

yup, it's definatly pissing.

She may have had the builders in on occasions but can she enter a room in style- phwoar!!!

forget joan collins anyway. the hat is the star of this video.

this song is so wonderful. great vid as well. does anyone know the b-sides on this single. me and the ex used to lie and gaze into each others eyes as i struggled to put complex feelings of longing into snappy sound bites of love. got a new bird now and want to do all over again!!!!!!

He He,I know what you mean,although i prefere Vodka

Hey huwco,try as i might i still have no idea what you mean by that,i mean you could say that "the examined life is not worth living",but if the life is not examined,how do you know that it is not worth living...

quality

Perhaps the most touching video of all time.

LOVE IT

Damn I wish I was rich.

Never heard of BDB.. will check him out.

different mix than the album version ("spitting" vs. "pissing", added percussion & instrumentation, different harmonica solo, etc.), is there a place i can get this?

what can we say?

At 74, Joan Collins continues to dazzle... My grandmother couldn't have done it!

basically. but this was first.

Didn't Robert Downey do the same thing on an Elton john Video

What a neat video! Thats so cool that Joan Collins agreed to do this! Pretty awesome.

If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours
If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hour

This vid gave me new respect for Joan Collins, obviously really comfortable with herself.

Good video and good on Joan Collins...the hippest woman on earth, she beat every celeb to appear in a music video.
