Beautiful South, The - Let Love Speak Up Itself Lyrics

Haworth Arms - too many good times in that pub to remember.

I was brought up with em`paul was a drunk at the time but Norman Cook was a great bloke!

it will not say goodbye just like it didnt say hello , there will not be a send off a funeral or mass ,just a pathetic little vodka from a dirty little glass.. superb lyrics

Carry on up the charts was soundtrack of childhood trips to Spurn Point.

Memory overload. The best singer/songwriters since Lennon and McCartney. If you disagree then you are wrong

Let love speak for its self dtel u know now think laura might give me a chance but still need u to tell me donna trish evans lewis

Dam he could sing

Is that Briana Corrigan as the bride? Always wondered as she was in the band at that time but doesn’t look like her?

shame Daves such a twat ~ thats ok, at least Heatons a wonderful person

Always loved Paul Heaton,,, saw him many times back in the early 90's,,,, but it's hard not to infer "To the world's greatest Mum, from the oldest swinger in town' isn't a jab at the stupidity of the working class who buy mugs, shirts etc with that kinda crap on it. Maybe I'm wrong,,, but it always seemed like that to me.

One of their best songs in my humble opinion

Absolutely amazing. Soooooooooo underrated. One of the best British bands ever.

Vjhv Cjhcv they are

These and pink Floyd are the only live bands ive seen

The line "To the worlds greatest mom" breaks my heart, lost my mum in 1994 miss her every day.
But what a fantastic song....

Immensely fantastic, so fucking awesome xxx

One of the best and most unmistakable voices in music.

Thank you very much for all your kind comments

Songs are sent for those who choose to ignore how there actions hurt.
I hope some words resonate at some point.

Love this song

An amazing album, this and the prettiest eyes are my favourite..

cant decide which version is better paul or jacqui, there both perfect!

What a voice and lyricly a genius

I don't know what it is about Beautiful South songs, but they always make my eyes fill with tears. Maybe it's the subject matter, a lot of the things they sing about I can relate to in my own life. Plus Paul's voice is so heartfelt.

What a fucking great song

Absolute class. What a magnificent tune. Probably one of his best.........

I had the pleasure of meeting the band back in 2005 they did a concert where i live in wolverhampton was a great night was able to get autographs and photos off the band they sang all the old songs including a few new ones they did at the time before they split up

Stunning song and stunning vocal by Paul heaton👍🏻

Love the video of it, you know the 2 of them are in love, but he had to get married,

The best version of this track

It will not say goodbye just like it didn't say hello

So criminally underrated. One of the best British bands of all time. Every single song is a banger and this one if my favorite!

Dale Tomlinson agree completely

One of my favourite love songs of all time, period

for me one of their best tracks by far. Blimey the bloke could sing I heard him sing it on Radio at the time it was released no music just him singing he killed it!

Brilliant band! Brilliant Song!

You won’t beat this song writing ❤️

What a lovely band! What beautiful songs..i could listen to them all day

I do sometimes.......not literally of course....maybe all evening :-)

Too right, awesome. Even before beautiful south the house Martin's were amazing, caravan of love, what a relevent song for today's warped society.

Love all your music

Beautiful song, Beautiful South. Hope to meet you and thank you for this one day, Paul Heaton. Thankyou.

+Niall Fraser He got a pub on chapel street Manchester.after tour will be in ,used to be the kings on the corner ,one of the lads

Fabulous lyricist Paul Heaton

It's the first time I've heard this song in nearly 20 years and I still no all the words what a cracking song

Used to go drinking at this pub. Upstairs at the Haworth. Love it !

Paul is so kind and awesome, had the pleasure of meeting this truly brilliant man

And it will not say goodbye like it didn't say hello the will not be a send off a funeral or mass just a pathetic little vodka from a dirty Lil glass to the world's greatest mom from the oldest swinger in town let love speak up itself

asif it was film in the mighty hayworth 

Jim Davidson far left in opening wedding scene! lol
One of the greatest songs ever.
Thank you Beautiful South.

Bit of a Bacharach and David vibe at the end.....love it!

Wow - file under bitter sweet.

File also brilliant. IMHO the best thing the Beautifuls ever did. Which is saying a lot.

Peace brothers and sisters. Px 

making this video must have been great fun

A severely under-rated song. When Paul opens up towards the end it sends shivers up my spine every time ...

Abel Guerrero heard him sing live on radio one years ago accapela he was awesone

THIS IS MY YOUTH LOVE IT

Ah, the Haworth Arms. Wonderful pub!

Stick this tune in the Top draw., Classic!!!!!

THIS IS MY LOCAL PUB!

was this actually D.H.'s wedding?

Carol Stott I believe so, so a cheap video to make lol!

4 people went north

4 people hsve gone north

My god. The B. South really capture those feelings of lost, unrequited, or reality and humanity getting in the way of, love. If songs about love are trying to dissect, describe and represent those melancholy, heart-wrenching pangs, feelings and hollowness that love, its loss, or its frustrated expression make you feel, I believe that none does so more accurately than the beautiful south. Perhaps its universal, but its definitely an accurate rendering of the British experience of love at least.

Hear hear. I can not believe how relatively few people know this band

best gig i ever went to was the south, paul is the real deal not a upatea fuck has time for the fan who is not a fuck wit......

A remarkable vocal performance by Heaton here, He is also one of the few writers to write REAL love songs, not those cliched, sugar coated ballads that get churned out by the record company production lines.

My favorite song from Beautiful South...True gem of a song. Under estimated band

Beautiful song, beautiful video

My favourite song of theirs. There's just something so moving about it.

Brilliant, I'll never get tired of listening to these guys

...and his 3 solo albums, "Fat Chance" - "The Cross Eyed Rambler" - "Acid Country." (plus the upcoming "The 8th") Laurels/Past glories...? Nah

It's brilliant that you can do that :)

@thenadzman1 seen him live many times.... brilliant...

IMPRESIONANTEMENTE BONITA.

one of their best songs! Amazing!

the best of the best! XXXXXXXXXXX

such a great song and video! He sang this acapela on radio one once and I was blown away!

beautiful south are awesome so underrated its untrue have u heard paul heatons voice!!?? ...........................wow!

3:43 -3:50 is the reason i love the beautiful south so much..the voice..the passion of Paul Heaton..what a song.

what a voice what a man what a shame

Have people heard the other version of this, where the female vocalist at the time (Briana Corrigan?) sung instead. Same music, different singer. Also incredible. It's super-hard to find online, I had to buy a couple of old albums from ebay to get hold of it. If anybody wants a listen, contact me :-)

@crookylufc I KNEW I RECOGNISED THAT! AMAZING! YOU LEGEND! Also, have you heard the female version of this, released on just a few early copies of the album? It's also amazing.

I love how they leave St Johns as if to go towards Stonferry, when actually the Haworth is behind them! They could've walked it!

Oi cheeky! Actually my brother Mark is a scaffolder so you're not far off. Paul x

alcohol wrote this song, well alcohol plus paul heaton.

Nice song and video as well.

love this so much..

@Sinead12ful totally, some groups make comebacks and the material is so poor compared to thier heyday, its sad for the fans, at least paul will be best remembered at the top of his game with classics like this.

@xXmikeywafc10xX i spoke to Dave Rotherway the other day and he said no chance of a B.S. reunion.shame really.But sometimes it's best to have good memories.

@purplelady179 you have good taste!

@Sinead12ful i agree, at least hes had a taste of the success, and hes not been influenced by drink or drugs, hes just a common bloke from manchester with a story to tell now, and its great that he still peforms, albeit in intimate venues rather than arenas.

@01jnorth gotta agree with u there!

@xXmikeywafc10xX it gets to all of us in the end.money is the root of all evil.But Paul is the nicest down to earth bloke in the world.

i saw paul heaton about 3 months ago in the anvil pub in wigan, he was doing a solo tour of the north west..playing one night gigs..in shit pubs..for pennies..on a bicycle!..i asked him about a possible b.s reunion, and he replied, 'been there, done that, never again', so there ya go folks, the man has fallen on hard times, shame really.

my favourite type of music is death metal, but these are by far my favourite band!!

@cpome7 In good old Hull! I'm a student there :)

man im only 16 but evan i know that paul heaton is a legend :D

Never mind the songwriting, the voice is heaven!!!!

dwi'n crio eto..

This song/video makes me miss home (Hull) for all the right reasons..!

Paul Heaton has to be recognised surely by now, as one of the ELITE. A lyrical genius that that man is...from his first songs to the ones he still sings today. A contribution to music on a very grand scale. I am lucky enough to of been able to follow his career, as a young girl growing up, into the woman i am today, And musically speaking Mr Heaton has been a constant for me........

Paul Heaton = Lyrical Genius...

great song , dont get lyrics like this anymore .

Beautiful beautiful song, always sends shivers down my spine

Lovely song, but what the %#!#& is up with the audio ads at the end of the freaking videos lately? Irritating in the extreme.

@dencam1234
which one Jaqui or Briana ?
Briana is living in Dublin.

after listening to that i feel 17 again
