The Wizard
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.
Mummy’s Boy
Mark explains that "Mummy's Boy" was written while he was still at school. "It was a chance remark by one of my teachers who told me he still lived at home with his parents. That set me thinking—in fact, I found it quite shocking.

Blue Skinned Beast
Love Really Hurts
You Keep Me Hanging On
Mark: People always say, I remember where I was and what I was doing, when I first heard that song. For me, *You Keep Me Hanging On', by The Supremes, is just one of those songs. 1967. Sitting in the kitchen, eating porridge, getting ready to ...
