I Chase The Devil AKA Ironshirt
Suggs: I first heard this track on a Lee Perry compilation - it was the last track on a four CD set and what a tremendous thing it is. The music, as always where Mr. Perry is concerned, sounded like it had come from outer space, as did Max ...
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 ...
Close Escape
The song "Close Escape" picks up where its predecessor "In The Middle Of The Night" left off. The story depicts a perverse individual who derives pleasure from making unsolicited calls to women and asking them about their underwear.
Never Ask Twice
My Girl 2
Mike: My wife is from the former Yugoslavia, where they use the phrase "Da" for "yes" So the opening to 'My Girl 2', with everyone shouting "Oui oui, si si, ja ja, da da!" is some chap being very enthusiastic about his girlfriend, so ...

Dangerman AKA High Wire
Cathal: Take a piece of thread, pass it thru the eye of a needle and wash it in purple sand. Stitch a circle of gold silk to a blue mohair jacket and whisper three times beneath a full moon the incantation... love is the answer... all will be ...
Shame and Scandal
Mike: A complicated tale of matrimonial misadventure penned on the island by none other than Sir Lancelot himself.
I Believe
Waltz Into Mischief
Hour Of Need
The song begins with an unusual harpsichord riff and plucked violin, immediately piquing your curiosity. The verse takes you on a slow, winding journey, reminiscent of a trippy, dreamlike state. The hook, akin to the impact of MJ's "Smooth ...
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 ...
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.
