Baggy Trousers
He contrasted "Baggy Trousers" with Pink Floyd's hit "Another Brick in the Wall": "I was writing about my time at school. Pink Floyd had that big hit with 'teacher, leave those kids alone'. It didn't really relate to me, because I hadn't been ...
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 ...
How Can I Tell You

If I Didn’t Care
Lovestruck
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.
A Town With No Name
Written by Chris Foreman, who was then the king of B-sides, A Town With No Name was the B-side to the single 'Shut Up' and drew inspiration from the lawless settings of classic Spaghetti Western films. The latter's dramatic and haunting ...
Solid Gone
Smyth’s Fifties rock’n’roll pastiche, ‘Solid Gone’, possibly motivated by a rock’n’roll rockabilly revival which saw the likes of Matchbox following acts such as Rocky Sharpe & The Replays into the UK charts. Within a month of the release of ...
