Hide away boys, you're no longer in favour,

Reef Yer Old Comments
OK, Gerald.
Jerome, Jerome, Jerome, Jerome, Jerome
I swear they should've been as big as Oasis, if not bigger.
It's 1997, I'm travelling through the middle east with military unit, this is coming in my ears.
Reality 😱
This song is now old
Saw them a month ago , few band members have changed, still good
I love his voice! This brings back great memories.
Hohoho, very, very fast rhythm. I like it. Thank You for the music to band Reef! Chris from Hungary. :)
I am now old...
Jerome, Jerome, Jerome....
Who's Gerald
I'm to old to hear this song properly nowadays. 😩 DOH !
Brilliant song. If you don't like it get your ears syringed and your soul cleansed.
I have just played their album 'Glow' and I chuckled to myself as it brought back memories.
Back in the late 1990s the DJ used to play this at the 'Meltdown' venue at the Waterfront in Norwich (owned by the University of East Anglia). My mates used to point at me during the chorus for simply being...the oldest in the group. The next oldest was only 4 weeks younger!
Anyhow...listening to the first few lines 21 years on is now quite apt: 'Hide away boys you're no longer in favour, you're yesterday's news and no longer the flavour. :-/ I'm 41 now.
My friends and I used to drive up to Meltdown from Warwickshire. Sleep in the car (3 of us in a metro) and then head home the next day. First time I ever had red bull and vodka was there. Good times
Thank You for this song! I love it. And i love Reef. Chris from Hungary, Budapest. :)
Jerome Jerome Jerome!
Now they are old
When this came out , I wasn't. Now I am! Sips his cider!
Doing a drunken nostalgia drive.
Used to do this in a covers band in my 20's.
Nearly 50 now. Blimey. Where did those seasons go?
Obviously I was never as good as Gary Cherone.
But then, he never gave Reef as good a performance as he did on "Cupid's Dead" for The Blue Oyster Cunt Band.
(Irony alert. I know full well that Gary Cherone was actually the singer for AC/DC from 1975 to 1802, Ok?)
you know kenwyn is my number one guitar hero. I don't even care the rest even slash.
"Always thought He's singing "Jerome Jerome Jerome
NO TAL ITS GERALD, GERALD, GERALD, GERALD.
It is Gerald of course.
Same, man, same!
Gerald z Rivie
Obligatory to post this on to your friends' FB timelines on their birthdays.
I've been doing that for 20 yrs ha ha
I am actually old now
Growing old disgracefully. 😄 🍺
Brilliant!
This song was always destined to be ironic. Great tune.
f**k yeah - loved this song when it came out
Time flies so fast
It sure does! Life huh. One crazy road.
Yes it does! lol, I used to sing this when I was a young rebel........now it's ABOUT ME! :'-(
brilliant song, only problem is i don't hear 'year old' any more sounds like 'Gerald' instead. still love the song though
yaaasss
