Mad Not Mad

No Reason
Let’s dive into the brilliance of ‘No Reason’. This track is a shining gem among Madness's repertoire, radiating with the powerful, evocative lyrics that have become a hallmark of Suggs’s songwriting genius. It doesn't just hold its own; it ...

Believe Me
"Believe Me" was one of the earliest original songs by Madness. It was written by John Hasler and Mike Barson. Hasler used to write many things, including poems, songs and even the first two pages of a novel. He would give his lyrics to Mike so ...

Deolali
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...

Le Grand Pantalon

Misery
Chris: 'Misery' was Cathal again. I said, "Oh, we should get a barbershop quartet on this". And so we got this barbershop quartet to sing on the choruses, and they were really good. They recently got in touch with me, because one of them died, ...

(Don’t Let Them) Catch You Crying

Shadow of Fear
"Shadow Of Fear" is a song that reflects the fear and paranoia of living in London, whether it is real or just imagined. "Not Home Today" is another track with a reggae influence and talks about how people make excuses to cover up the fact that ...

Rise And Fall

Shut Up

Crying Shame
The song "Crying Shame" was originally released as the B-side of the 7-inch single "Embarrassment". Despite being overlooked initially, the song is considered one of Barson's best works. "Crying Shame" has a Coasters-inspired sound and stands ...

Never Ask Twice

Wings Of A Dove

Take It or Leave It
'Take It Or Leave It' was inspired by the name of a Roxy Music track and set to quirky music presumably inspired by Sixties spy films. Mike Barson mentioned that writing it was mainly a poetic expression of my continuing mental state, though I ...

I Believe

Driving In My Car
"Driving in My Car" was written by Mike Barson and recorded by Madness. It was released as a stand-alone single on 24 July 1982 and spent eight weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number four. It reached number 20 on the Australian ...

Good Times

Sweetest Girl

Baby Burglar
During the performance, Suggs had a momentary lapse in the lyrics, but it didn't detract from the overall quality of the track. Bedder's bass line stood out beautifully in the mix, adding a solid foundation that enhanced the song's groove. I ...

Madness (2-Tone Version)
According to the back sleeve of One Step Beyond..., there are seven songs on each side, and at the end of side two, "Mummy's Boy" is swiftly followed by "Chipmunks Are Go!" Imagine the looks of glee on every young rude boy and rude girl's face ...
