In the Rain

In the Rain

'In The Rain' was initially relegated to the 12-inch single of 'My Girl' as an 'otherwise unavailble track' but was an overlooked gem, 'In The Rain', which shared much of the same air of pathos as the A-side with its tale of being jilted on a ...

Shadow of Fear

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 ...
One Step Beyond…

One Step Beyond…

How different it might have been, though. In the early days, the band played "One Step Beyond" simply as a short instrumental introduction to the main set. Some nights, they played the theme from "Hawaii 5'0". Some nights, they played the ...

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 ...

(Don’t Let Them) Catch You Crying

You Said

You Said
