Given the Opportunity
Whistle in the Dark
Drip Fed Fred (feat. Ian Dury)
You Said
Suggs says that my memory could be more precise with many songs he wrote with Mike. From what I recall, this tune was written by Mike in the days when we rehearsed in the disused dentist surgery in Finchley. Mike had the title and some of the ...
Uncle Sam
It Must Be Love
Night Boat To Cairo
The opening fog-horn sound of Lee's baritone sax certainly conjures up visions of a pea-souper over the English Channel. Still, I'm not sure about the River Nile … and then "it's just gone monsoon," the monsoon being a seasonal wind that ...
Razor Blade Alley
Bands on the Two Tone Label had a following of skinheads. If you judged solely by the song title, "Razor Blade Alley," you might assume it was about mindless violence or football hooliganism.

March Of The Gherkins
If I Didn’t Care
Don’t Leave the Past Behind You
Powder Blue
Mike: 'Powder Blue' was one of my favourite songs on the album. It was an old song, from back when I'd been working with Suggs, before he decided to do his solo career. He'd given me the lyric and l'd written the tune to it ages ago - it was a ...
Skylarking
The Wizard
Long Goodbye
It starts off with the ethereal tones of Tingsha-Tibetan Chimes, instantly conjuring memories of John Lennon's iconic ‘(Just Like) Starting Over’. At first blush, it seems like the tale might belong to Johnny the Horse, who faced similar ...
Mr. Apples
In The Middle Of The Night
The band has a collective memory of Suggs getting the idea for the song from a genuine newspaper article about a knicker thief seeing his own description and photo-fit in the papers and making a dash for it.
