Stereophonics - Handbags And Gladrags Lyrics
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style
So once you think you're in you're out
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

It is timeLess xx

pure class
Andrew Parr hi would love to know what you think of my grandsons cover of this https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
The CHASE version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs-onWjLRAo
Missed school so oooo many times and learned more..
might be controversial but...it's better than Rod's sorry
Not even close
Office.
He's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?
🤢🤮🤮😂😭😭😭😭
Timeless.💖
I think there's been a rape up there!
One day people will study this song like they do with Rondo by Purcell
One of the best covers I've ever heard.
I have to do this song for a music assesment and I havw to say, I'm going to enjoy this thoroughly.
Incredible version, sorry rod! Plus Kelly Jones is a Leeds supporter!!!
Sublime cover of a truly great song!
We're all Leeds aren't we!
if they ever do Road Stewart bio movie... this is the lead actor right here
Looks nothing like Rod😁
Cool Cymru
Reminds me of someone who I had to break up with because of his nasty family..we always listened to this song..A Love I will long for forevermore ..😥😥
1:06 I swear there are a few too many lyrics in that line. Don't get me wrong its a great song but it certainly would have been easier to sing something with fewer words. "the handbags that your grandad had to sweat to buy you" for instance
Still listening to this in November 2019 and it's still holds it own .....
Sharon Bowles God bless you, I couldn't of said it any better.. Respect 😎👌
Totally spot on
Yeah, I am here.
I grew up with the Rod Stewart version but The Stereophonics took a great song and made it even better.
I suppose I've created an atmosphere where I'm a friend first and a boss second. Probably an entertainer third
OMG! He really sounds like Rod Stewart! 😲😲😍😍
2019. 11 03
I remember very well in 2001 when I was 2 watching this on the telly being fascinated by the colours of the lamps why I can still Remember that I Donno
sounds like a Faces Song from 1972. And after a check I saw it's a Rod Stewart cover...
Used to sing this on karaoke as a kid lol
An absolute rarity - a cover version better than the original !
One of my all time faves
What a beautiful song it takes you back in time when you didn't have a care in the world.
THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN rod Stewart's version🐵
Rod Stewart is not as good😊😌😜🤗😟🙁😕😔😐😜🤗
No it isn’t mate
Buried my granda to this last year and genuinely gets me everytime 😭 he was my everything
It'll be alright, I'm sure he wants you to be happy.
Pure class !!!!
What a great tune never get tired over listening to music that is timeless and of brilliance go phonics
Bishop Muzorewa
Amazing!!! Rod could only ever aspire to that.
it;s a great version of it actually ive heard two or three others and this is equal to Jon Englih's version. i love it
craig hunter hi would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons acoustic cover of this https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
why candles, lamps, and lava lights ???
Great song , rod stewart does a great version to.
Steve S hi would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons cover of this
https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
Great Welsh band love the soulfull voice.... you just carnt beat the welsh for great music 😁👍🏴
Kellys voice just melts me 😍
so similar to Rod Stewart's earlier version
Is that an obeo or clarinet?
2019 now play
I come back to watch this video a few times a month. I just love it!
Gorgeous kelly jones phwoar
Jojo Thomas yes he is good looking but a little small.
way under rated genuis musicians. up against the moronic 3 bar oasis at the time, great days but sadly enlightening to human folly
phonics & OCS then oasis and blur
OMG where did we go wrong
Another great 1960s song.
Kelly Jones sounds more like rod Stewart than rod himself
What a brilliant song gives me the shivers
They did this song justice 😊
Great song and great cover
Originally recorded by Chris Farlowe
This song always gets me emotional it came out in my early teens the happiest time of my life.
Michael O Connor hi would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons live cover of this https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
Urrismics in australiia
Esta es una buena balada
I'm off down to Chasers to get bloody bladdered...sue me!
by far the best version
Yvonne Smith hi would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons live cover of this https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
Look at him he’s a weirdo bloke he looks like the fisher price man 😋
id look like a fish if I could sing like that
Yvonne Smith It’s a quote off the comedy program the office 😋
RIP Stuart Cable
A sad song, indeed. But it's an unusual kind of ballad, don't you think?
Makes you feel morose, but its not for yourself: you feel bad for the person you're singing it to. A defeat made by other, that affects you more than it does to them.
the best
Terrible song
Shut up Gary Owens
en tatlı sabahlaaaarr
👌👌
Buried my granda to this last year and genuinely gets me everytime. What a song 😚
I hear you.
I thought this song came out in the 70s lmao 😂
The man at 0:30 looks like Green Day's Mike Dirnt.
Fantastic song love it
LYNNE Roberts hi my 16 year old grandson covered this at open mic. Would love to know what you think https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
Rodger Stewart (original) sings the wonderfully...Sterophonics sing it Beautifully....
MIKE BLAKE hi would love to know what you think of my 16 year old grandsons cover https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
2019 and still a tune
Sounds like Rod Stewart.
Top tune
The trouble with stereophonics is Kelly....holyjeeps! I get wet just listening to him, so imagine that Sunday morning bean flick! God bless..
The original was great but I think this was even better.
Brilliant, even them being taffies!
good but is it better than rod stewart?
Absolutely is better than Rod Stewart's his voice is phenomenal though I think stereophonics rule this one 👌👌👌
look for when they done i together i think Kelly does it better
Buena musica, nunca morira, estara en nuestros recuerdos.
20 plus years been listening the phonics and still today Kelly's vocals blows my mind.. his voice makes any song.
Love the handbags but I bought them. RIP Grandad you bought the drinksxxx
#STEREOPHONICSROCK !! Love you guys so much so proud of you all! so proud of you kelly your voice is so beautiul love you kelly xxx I adore this song so much!!
I'm just looking
To much education to poform
They were well put together .Too well some might say.
Told my husband I want this played at my funeral
It’s amazing how I’ve never noticed how much he sounds like a young rod stewart, like faces era
Scott Smith hi. My 16 year old grandson did this at open mic last week. Would love to know what you think https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
Love Kelly
Better cover than ROD
This reminds me of my ex
How ungrateful some people are
Insane skills. The office 2019
Just check out Chris farlowe
Actually better than the original Rodd Stuart, pretty much the best version of any song.
mathewmm Leonard hi. My 16 year old grandson performed this at an open mic last night. Would love to know what you think https://youtu.be/UjplHhI_ORo
@Brenda Hawkins impressive

RIP Stuart . You’ll always be The Stereophonics, and no matter what awaits us all on the other side, you’ll always have that legacy behind you, and that’s what it’s all about, how we’ll be remembered when we’re gone 👍🏻
Awesome band!
