Elysium
Round We Go
The song, written by Woodgate, is a catchy tune that deserves to be released as a single. The backing singers provide a solid hook, and the studio mix boasts a stronger, more heavenly intro than the raw live version. It's likely that Madness is ...
Black and Blue
Mike: I wrote 'Black and Blue' about breaking up with my missus, Sandra. We'd been married for a very long time. That song was about the breakup, and the relief, in some ways, when you've been stuck in the negative spiral that some ...
Culture Vulture
Okay, it’s been over 30 years in the making—well, not really. Though some might try to draw a strange connection to the song once heard in 1996 at Madstock, this is not that tune. The only common thread here is the title, 'Culture Vulture.' ...
Cardiac Arrest
Never Knew Your Name
Mike: 'Never Knew Your Name' was an old song that'd been kicking around for ages. After the band broke up in the 80s, I was working with Suggs on a project together. We did quite a lot of recording over a few years, and then he got talked into ...
So Much Trouble In The World

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 ...
Skylarking
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
If I Go Mad
The track is a magnificent piece of music that should have been the first single. Originally debuted during the lockdown in the one-off show "The Get Up!" in late 2022, it quickly stood out. Suggs' vocal delivery is flawless, likely because he ...
You Are My Everything
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 ...
Deceives the Eye
"Deceives the Eye" tells the true story of Chris Foreman being out and about with Thommo and Mike in Luton and finding himself on the wrong side of the law. "A few of us enjoyed the pleasures of shoplifting," Chris explains.
Taller Than You Are
Mark: Ever since Goliath got one in the eye and Jack chopped down the beanstalk, being tall hasn't had too many advantages. OK professional basketball players might disagree. But tell me: Why do ten huge men have to play on such a ...
