Mike + The Mechanics - Word Of Mouth Lyrics






Now the world is getting older
There's a few things to be said
Do you believe the things they told you
Do you believe the things you've read

There's a rumour on the corner
But it's always been denied
Cause they don't want you any wiser
You're just toeing the party line

From the west side to the east side
From the north side to the south
You'll never get back information
If you believe in the word of mouth

Look out for those who still want to hang on
Look out for those who live in the past
Get out and listen to the whisper
Because the times are changing fast

From the west side to the east side
From the north side to the south
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth

You don't believe the information
You don't believe it when it's denied
So when you're reading explanations
You have to read between the lines

From the west side to the east side
Through the windows I'm looking out
You'll never get back information
If you believe in the word of mouth

  16. J.... F....

    His is a dreadful loss to music fans across the world, an immense talent.

  17. J.... F....

    Anthems always grab me by the throat.

  18. L.... Z....

    I usually dislike the mixing of music and politics, but this is a RARE exception. It’s a song that, at least here in America, is much more relevant than it was upon its release 28 years ago. “They don’t want you any wiser; you’re just toeing the party line.”

  19. R.... J....

    I am a massive Paul young fan , I was lucky enough to shake his hand at the end of a Mike and the mechanics concert at the. symphony Hall Birmingham then before I knew it he was gone . What a talent .. sadly missed 😪

  20. D.... K....

    RIP Paul Young We missed U !!!!!

  21. J.... R....

    AÑO 91'SALIO ESTE CLASICO LA VOZ DE PAUL JAMAS SE EXTINGUIRA X LOS SIGLOS DE LOS SIGLOS

  22. C.... ....

    Still listening in 2019, and still one of my favourites to this day. Don't understand how people can give this a thumbs down. Finally, RIP to the legend Paul Young x

    C.... ....

    I didn't knew that he died.

    C.... ....

    @K7ll LP He died 2000

  23. G.... W....

    Saw them play this at Albert Hall and the place rocked fantastic song

  24. E.... S....

    I seriously can't believe Paul is no longer with us. This song must be one of the most underplayed songs ever.

    E.... S....

    The fck are you talking about ? Poul Young is alive,and well , played in Mexico City saturday....i know i was there

    E.... S....

    @Sjúrður Arnbjarnarson Different guy. This Paul Young passed away in 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Young_(singer,_born_1947)

  25. J.... L....

    Pretty bad video for one of the best hits. Come on, random images would probably have been better. This awesome music inspired someone to THIS?

  26. K.... W....

    if you believe in the word of mouth (your in trouble)

    K.... W....

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who understands the relevancy of the lyrics to the present day.

  27. K.... ....

    "You'll never get bad information, if you believe in the mouth". Little did I know buying this album (back when it was released in the early 90s) that I would today find it to have such a different interpretation. Nor did they, most likely. They just accidentally recorded the "fake news" song. (note to haters: I'm a big Genesis fan, I just find it funny that in retrospect the lyrics of this song didn't age very well due to factors beyond them)

    K.... ....

    *word of mouth

    K.... ....

    I’m glad I’m not the only one who understands the relevancy of the lyrics to the present day.

  28. A.... D....

    I just wanna meet the idiots who voted this down.....

    A.... D....

    Me too. Unbelievable to see those morons' votes - the creeps are into MamaDonna fans, I guess. I remebered this video from MTV era. RIP, Paul. We LOVE you, man!

    A.... D....

    Why bother meeting them... seriously. Imagine how boring they'd be!

    A.... D....

    Leftists

    A.... D....

    @Sam W2 COMMUNISTS

  29. M.... U....

    no Sound ...

  31. H.... T....

    Don’t believe the msm

  32. J.... M....

    This song made me buy the album, when it was released. I always thought Paul Young did just as good a job as vocalist as Paul Carrack. Their debut album was excellent, filled with a lot of great B-Side songs.

    J.... M....

    I love Paul C but Paul Young's voice was a powerhouse. And I thought he had a little more "attitude" than Carrack. What a great lineup that was.

  33. L.... C....

    Miss that guy so much. RIP Paul Young.

    L.... C....

    He isnt dead

    L.... C....

    @Sjúrður Arnbjarnarson He's dead since 2000

  34. S.... I....

    Wow! Underrated song. Channel O through Ishmael and KB did a beautiful cover version of the song

  35. J.... ....

    When Murdoch runs over 80% of the newspapers as well as pay TV here in Australia, word of mouth/social media along with public broadcasting (ABC and SBS) are more credible sources of news.

  36. r.... b....

    Paul had 2 heart attacks didn't tell anyone about first one died in 2000

    r.... b....

    I think I read that somewhere right after he passed away. So sad.

  37. �.... �....

    Просто торчок!

  38. G.... K....

    Paul Young with the ponytail, looks like Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees, in the "You win again" video.

    G.... K....

    Yes he does mate. Totally.ha

    G.... K....

    He looks also like Sean Bean

    G.... K....

    Agreed!

  39. J.... E....

    First time to see and hear this song. With Trump as POTUS the lyrics still very much apply to today’s politics.

    J.... E....

    The lyrics very strongly apply to the two party dichotomy that’s tearing American apart these days. It started getting very nasty under Bush Jr. and Obama and now it’s even worse under Trump, and I think it’s going to get even worse during next year’s election campaign no matter who wins. When I argue politics these days, I intentionally do so in a non-partisan manner; otherwise most people will start off with an awful bias that’s very hard to overcome.

    J.... E....

    @Lec Zorn ..read between the lines..

  40. T.... K....

    I love this song and MV

  41. S.... A....

    First time I've ever seen this video ... way cool!!!

    S.... A....

    Shawn Arndt me too.
