Beautiful South, The - A Little Time Lyrics

Yep says it all

This song is better when you're on coke. At the end of the night.

To be fair, a ginger haired irish girl... It was always going to end this way.

You can picture the scene.....knock knock ..hello I would like to film a music video in your house !!...we will pay you a 100quid...its for beautiful south....oh there my favourite band come on in and film..I'm just nipping to shops will be back in a bit....2hrs later w t f!

Anybody been in a bust up like this? Yep exactly like that.

What a unique lovely voice. Brings tears to the eye. What a talent. The BS girls were all good. For me though Brianna was different class. And when she left the band unlike anyone else remotely attached she never returned to any of the reincarnations of the Beautiful South. A top girl. A great singer. Just magic.

Got here from listening to pipes of peace - Paul McCartney, beat that !

Me and my bf sing this all the time. One of our faves

You'd need more than A Little Time to put that house straight.😁

I have the best play list ever!

Just imagine being a fly on he wall watching a domestic dispute go down with the aftermath as shown in this video

Great fucking song!!

Most relationships tbh 😂

I know one of the band members daughters she goes to my school

no way. Nice.

Her voice sounded so sexy when I was ten. Still does. Her voice was such a lure.
Amazing song. Underrated these days as someone else said.

she looks hot but i wouldn't want to be in the same room as her

Total was a massive fan of the housemartins and this was good too

Where is Briana now ? I totally loved ginger burds , had a few in my time. She was a looker. Great country voice too. Hope shes well.

Nice song

This will still be a great song ten years from now...

Funny how quick the milk turns sour, isn’t it? Isn’t it? Your face has been looking like that for hours hasn’t it, hasn’t it!

She is quite yummy...

LOVE this track. {and wish Grammerly would fuck off.}

so underated..but such a great song!

Love the lyrics ❤️

She has the voice of an angel 😇

A decent number one! Hurrah!

I wonder how many people I can piss off in 24 hours ? Reckon about 20....

Just been having a 'friendly' debate about the housemartins and prompted me to listen to these guys - great !

blast from the past bs had some of the greatest songs

Their house is filthy

Mick Hucknall looked like Briana Corrigan back then.

Ah, the days when they cared more about the music rather than how they looked 🤗

Still one of my favourite songs💚👌

Me too I'm 32 love all theirs ♥️👑

My sister and I had a sing star karaoke game and one if the albums we had for it had lots of "old" songs, this was one of them. I adored singing it as a child (always been an old soul) and love it even more as an adult.

1:47, a woman look, they think it hurts, but they don't know how much we like them.

the utter disgust and contempt that lady has for him, maybe he baked a non vegan cake.

Jonathan M ha ha!

Great song

Nice Song 😎🍸

a great song from back then.

I thought Paul Heaton sang this!

Love this song

Love love this song

No worries

Get this.. Married 10 months... Gone to shit all ready 😢

I got married last week .should I be worried

Are you OK Sara?

@Caz Molloy Yep, he's banging someone else - PMSL.

Sorry to hear that. Have a ((Big Hug)) from me.

like the song but I can't fucking stand idiots who "fall out of love"

This reminds me of my mum and dad pissed and arguing when I was younger😂

Too relatable !

We have all been there 👍

Hahahaha slot on buddy

Hahaha ,was jst tellin ma g/f the exact same next to me listening 2 this an scrolled down and saw ure comment..........safe m8...

Hahahaha .the same. .childhoods in the 90s

So which one of them has to clean up all the mess made in the house

Dumb question, the woman of course, it's her job, women love cleaning, ironing and cooking. That's why they have smaller feet than men, so they can stand closer to the sink

@Roger Smithson lol dude, I bet you piss off a lot of women

I was a teenager at te time, on a break up....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

under rated, as good as the beatles for song writing.

Great memories ❣️

Absolutely love this song me and my ma used to sing it the whole time wen I was younger and I still love it cause it brings back a lot of good memories

😂😂😂😂😂

There should be an album titled songs to ditch your partner by, this would be topofthe playlist

Sometimes life can be shit👩‍🌾👨‍🌾♥️

Can I just say that I feel sorry for the bear more than the people?

Besides that though, I only heard this song recently and highly enjoyed it, especially the female vocalist and wanted to see the video and I’ve got to say, I loved it

Apart from the mans infidelity obviously this is me at the moment.... so so sad despite the pathos.

If only my ex had given me a little space for my big head

The Beautiful South were decent with their later stuff featuring other female vocals, but Briana was truly a cut above... They never equalled their early material with Briana after she left...

Great song and video - the dark, humorous lyrics, and the delivery of both sets of vocals are absolutely genius! I've always been intrigued by the lyrics TBH, due to their (deliberate??) ambiguity and opacity - everyone always automatically sides with the female narrator, but her lyrics / vocals are very angry and aggressive while the male lyrics / vocals are more passive, and remorseful... As the years have passed, I've always wondered if it was written that way on purpose, so that the listener (myself included) was so busy empathising with the female on first listen that they didn't spot that perhaps she might actually be the one who was in the wrong...? Terrific tune either way!

Wow no hear TBS for years.fucking loved them all the old casuals loved them ta. 😄💯👍🎶🔊🔊. #AVEHADALITTELTIME

one of my favorite songs

When I met my now husband, whenever we went into a shop playing music, this was it. Despite that, we are still married 28 years later. They must have had such fun setting this up.

sad into un-sad. I always kinda like that line, always thought it kinda clever, kinda poetic. Hearing it now it makes me think, well, sad into un-sad isn't the same as sad into happy. Just because sadness leaves, doesn't mean it's replaced with happy... just a neutrality. I think neutrality is worse than sad, at least feeling something, even sadness however deep, is feeling something.

Women, always whining hey men?
If a bloke cant go out for a few days to let off steam them why get married? I think he got out at the right time

This song always made me cry inside 😢💞

Amanda Williams sending a hug to you

@Janny Bunnag ♥️😌

Amazing song.

1990 after 2 months, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996! 1997, 2001, 2002, 2004, the list went on and on! 🙄😔 why can’t men be loyal???? If it wasn’t for his cheating nothing would have happened in 1997!

Men and women cheat 😄

Her voice is captivating! I think I stopped breathing, the melody followed her voice beautifully.

I remember seeing this video on the ITV chart show on Saturday morning. Anybody remember that? With the rollercoaster between songs?

Thing about the lyrics... I didn't need any time... My fiancé did... Beautiful South... Perfect 👌💑🌧️🤴👸👨‍👨‍👧💔

Still amazing all these years later 💖💖

Totally just woke up with this in my head and haven't even listened to it in years lol

STORY OF MY LIFE HA HA ALL GOOD THOU THANK YOU XXX

My mum used to play this all the time she got me into them

Mums no best

This song raised a very important point its not just women that get into abusive relationships.

Reminds me of my ex...so great to get some perspective....Id NEVER go back.

I'm 66.never married.This affirms my decision!

Heartbreaking.

I’m genuinely not sure, who do you guys think is better? Briana or Jacqui?

Jacqui... definitely...

James's Fallon yeah I agree, but I’m new to the Beautiful South so I’m not that knowledgeable on this.

@Cam Lam seen them lots over the years ... Brianna was good but hit full stride with Jacqui.

James's Fallon yeah that agrees with my limited knowledge

What a brilliant video.

Amanda Thomas blond girl i‘m in love with you

Love her , love ginger burds

Just for you 1976 blonde girl

Today or tomorrow ONLY!!! For a chat. Nothing else... no promises.
The outcome will depend on many things.

Simpler times

Her voice is amazing.

05/08/2019 BEAUTIFUL SOUTH STILL AMAZING !!

Does Jaqui Abbot do a vers of this?

Shaun Bauidh No Bas no she joined the band after Brianna left !

Still a brilliant song. So empowering ❤️

this used to be my favourite song when I was like seven :D fifteen now. her voice is really beautiful

This reminds me of my mum. Sunny Sundays in Manchester, getting old far too quick. Where did all go? Where did it all go wrong? 😥

Paul heaton a true man and an advocate for Irish freedom.

I remember listening to this one in my college days

excellent song bloody brill video. Teddy gets it

My Brother and i used to love singing this on Singstar Ps2 2004 <3

Yessss same!

If anyone ever tells you they need a 'little time' in a romantic relationship. That is it. Fuck em off!

Not always. My partner and I deal with loss differently from most, when we lose someone close to us we need time on our own to deal with it. What we can''t stand is people trying to be sympathetic or having to deal with them.

Then there is if you have a massive fight both need time to calm down and sort themselves out. One of the reasons my relationship has lasted longer than most of my peers marriages is that we do not live together so when we do have an all out dinger of a fight we can both go off and take time away from each other. Lordy I know a married couple that saved their marriage by not living together instead they have houses next to each other.

@Dermacrosis If it works for you baby :-]

@Luke Downs brilliant 😂😂😂👌

What a massive tune!!! Absolute belter!!! 🔊🎼🎤🎷🎸🎹📯🎵🎶🎺🎻🥁💿🎥

My life

The lyrics of this song and all the songs of Beautiful South are simply amazing!

I absolutely 💗 the song & video, although I feel for the people who had to clean up that mess...😂
