Ocean Colour Scene - You've Got It Bad Lyrics






And if I could hold you
Where would you belong
Sitting here to reason
How the world's gone wrong
And if I could listen
To half the words you say
Would your pathway glisten
And help you on your way

Oh you've got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you've got it so bad
Worse than any other

If I was in your shoes
Would it be the same
Would you sit in silence
While I dish out the blame
And if the world was laughing
Would you close your ears
There is no creed of chanting
To make the world more clear

Oh you've got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you've got it so bad
Worse than any other

If I brought you flowers
Would you watch them grow
Spring time is for certain
To follow on the snow
And if I could hold you
Where would you belong
Sitting here to reason
On how the worlds gone wrong

Oh you've got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Boy you've got it so bad
Worse than any other

Oh you've got it bad
But you never should expect cover
Oh you've got it so so bad
Worse than any other

Ocean Colour Scene You've Got It Bad Comments
  1. E.... L....

    Still pretty bad like... Even Boris Johnson stole my DNA!

  2. s.... b....

    sometimes a swear word is required, this is that time, Fucking Awesome!

  3. R.... D....

    Ocs should have got more recognition, top band 👍

  4. C.... N....

    Awesomeness

  5. d.... ....

    Mods Rule 😄🛵🎯🎸🥁🎹

  6. s.... j....

    The Beatles,The jam and Ocean colour scene are the best bands ever!

  7. V.... B....

    I'm in my late 40s now (sadly) but still enjoying OCS! Awesome band!

  8. m.... ....

  10. E.... L....

    It's like plan's with solid rock alright but which room it could be a few one burnt down probably my room of spinning gold though that's the rock and was it there once?!

  11. E.... L....

    If only you knew how bad!.

  12. m.... ....

    Joined Army in 92 these guys were tops now back in 19 with Lambretta-good times!!!

  13. P.... F....

    The only thing that surprises about OCS is why it took so long for them to hit the big time. By 1996, Steve and Damon were 27 while Oscar and Simon were 31 - pretty late to make it as rockers (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison were all dead at 27, for instance). I guess, however, the OCS members all looked younger than their actual age. Looking at them playing in 1996, who would've guessed Simon was 31?

    A lot of the other bands that made it big that decade did so when members wer a fair bit younger. For instance, when Oasis broke through in 1994, Liam Gallagher was only 22 (although I guess Noel was 27).

    On the other hand, that long apprenticeship of hard slog and live gigging, probably did give OCS a real advantage over that whole layer of 90s bands when they did finally burst into the bigtime in '96.

  14. S.... B....

    Small Faces for those who hadn't been born first time round

    S.... B....

    Spot on.

  15. h.... m....

    Pure brilliance sadly Paul Weller the mod god tore this great band in half for his musical genius 🤐🤐

  16. A.... H....

    Nineties nostalgia.. "I got it bad"

  17. K.... S....

    Great band massively underated .every albums top notch UTB

  18. E.... T....

    So heres my thing, 96... Mum n Dad were still alive, England put on a show at the Euros, I left college to start a Computing degree, discovered Weed, Friday nights were all about TFI then a night of the fizz, saw Ocean Colour Scene at the electric ballrooom Camden and started dating this young college girl Joanne who was totally beautiful inside and out and wanted to learn about sex ... shit i had it good.

    E.... T....

    I'm 27 and my dad brought me up on OCS, one of the first bands I was ever exposed to. I think the world has gone to shit and I envy you for being a young man back then. Definitely sounds like you had it good! You didn't have it bad at all :)

    E.... T....

    Eazy T Shame you didn’t learn basic grammar.

    E.... T....

    @MusicalElitist1 HE WAS BUSY HAVING SEX YOU ABSOLUTE NERDBURGER!!

  19. A.... G....

  21. D.... A....

    They were so bad their guitarist would rather be a session player with Paul Weller

  22. D.... A....

    Shit band

    D.... A....

    you are a shit person

    D.... A....

    It’s ok, your wife is shit in bed too

  23. V.... A....

    Decent pop music back then, that got plenty of AirPlay, nowadays all kids hear on mainstream radio is BGT X factor driven R&B.

  24. G.... m....

    definitely one of my favourite bands at the time can't believe it's 20yrs ago damn

  25. M.... 1....

    saw these live in Glastonbury 2000, was well WKD

  26. b.... ....

    1996.... greatest year of my life!.

    b.... ....

    Ya Simon showed me his „high quality arse“ right in the face at the Zeche Karl in Essen and I had to smoke shit with them and drink lots of beer.

  27. F.... S....

    F O D A !

  28. O.... L....

    I fucking love OCS!

  29. D.... ....

    I don't think we realise how good we had it back in 1996. Absolute quality tune that will stand the test of time!

    D.... ....

    Totally agree with u this music brings back memories when I was in my 20s

  30. S.... ....

    I used to see OCS at Wolverhampton Polytechnic back in the day, it was obvious they were a cut above the rest. Then the singer started getting a bit gobby in the music press, who turned on the band and killed them off temporarily. Then they re-emerged with the Britpop stuff.....quality songs

  31. m.... p....

    What  i love about ocean colour scene is its not for money  or the fame thay done all that  it s just love of music now thay Don't need to prove  a point

  32. A.... F....

    if the world was laughing would you close your ears. Definitely my favourite OCS Song x

  36. j.... ....

    is this their best song? I really can't decide. so great anyway.

  37. b.... ....

    Bought Painting, some top notch tracks on it.

  38. s.... b....

  42. B.... O....

    is there an echo in here? why the fcul is nobody listening to this!? to those who are - see you at the barrowlands on 6th and 7th december...

  43. B.... O....

    @stevecelticfan1888 - yep fcuking frightening how little this stuf is listened to, especially when you consider the likes of Tinie Tempah has about 4 zillion views!

  44. T.... ....

    @celticghirlxxx Saturday wasn't released too long ago, and On The Leyline before that. Plenty of OCS albums knocking about (North Atlantic Drift is sooo ridiculously good.) Have some patience on the OCS front :) they always come.

    We got Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds coming, which should be class.

    You know who I want back? The La's!

    On other news the Bluetones are splitting up :( final tour atm.

  45. R.... ....

    this vid needs more special effects

  46. F.... ....

    @mishkii just awesome no need 2 say anymore

  47. m.... ....

    OCS are doing a Moseley Shoals tour Nov/Dec 2011 - playing the album in full - pass it on!!! Check out their website

  48. d.... ....

    @sirgaryhoi this is their official promo video for this single...

  49. s.... ....

    I bought You Got It Bad single back in mid 90s, But never seen the promo vid of it. Along with single version Travelers Tune and Hundred Mile High City are the best OCS has done. Is this the orignal promo video or recreated for youtube?

  50. C.... M....

    @stevecelticfan1888 god knows mate. That's crazy eh? I wish OCS would release an album, oasis and the stone roses would get back together (I'd accept the seahorses reforming as I doubt the roses will ever get back together) and Jim Morrison would come back from the dead.

    Apart from that I don't want much lol

    Hail Hail

    C.... M....

    Claire McConologue Stone Roses got back together and were shite.

    Oasis should’ve died years ago.

    OCS need to stop. They were great and now they’re just a tribute band.

  51. D.... S....

    Quality track, awesome band!!!
