Madness

Madness

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 ...
A Town With No Name

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 ...

Set Me Free (Let Me Be)

Set Me Free (Let Me Be)

With his fifth composition on the album, Foreman presents a smooth yet dark track that instantly immerses you into the shadows of lockdown, evoking images of watching the sun and the moon and the seasons pass from the window of an empty room. ...
Night Boat To Cairo

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 ...

Woody: I'd written a song that was a bit Kings Of Leon-ish, rough, straight, lots of guitar. It sounded fucking great. I played it to Nick, because I needed a melody and some lyrics. He said, "All I've got is a chorus: 'I feel like running out ...

Long Goodbye

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 ...
Oh My Love

Oh My Love

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 ...
Girl Why Don’t You?

Girl Why Don’t You?

Suggs: 28 years ago? There was a stall in Berwick St. market, in London's Soho, that sold 45s and had a great selection of Blue Beat records - I would buy as many as I could afford and rush home to play them. The ten second crackle of static ...
