Tomorrow’s (Just Another Day)
One Better Day
Misery
Chris: 'Misery' was Cathal again. I said, "Oh, we should get a barbershop quartet on this". And so we got this barbershop quartet to sing on the choruses, and they were really good. They recently got in touch with me, because one of them died, ...
Never Ask Twice
The Prince
Based loosely on Prince Busters 'Earthquake'* this track was taken from a session recorded at the tiny Pathway Studios in Highbury, London. The other 2 tracks recorded were the b side, Madness, and a version of My Girl (with Barso on vocals) ...

You Are My Everything
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 ...
Hello Sun
Well, let’s have a good old knees up, eh! Sometimes, it’s unmistakably clear that Madness harbours a playful ambition to transform into your friendly neighbourhood Chas and Dave cover band or perhaps even a quirky cabaret act, ’The Last Rag and ...
Drip Fed Fred (feat. Ian Dury)
Samantha
Embarrassment
'Embarrassment' dealt with an altogether more serious issue. Lee Thompson's 17-year-old sister Tracy had become pregnant with a mixed-race child, which caused consternation among some of the family's friends, relatives and neighbours, who ...
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.

Forever Young
The band presented several songs from their latest album, "The Liberty of Norton Folgate," in three concerts held at London's Hackney Empire in June 2008. One of the songs that they played was 'Forever Young,' featuring a melodious tune. Suggs ...
(You) Cant Keep A Good Thing Down
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 ...
Herbert
Suggs composed Herbert with Mike Barson. Two weeks before "Can't Touch Us Now", the album's release, the song "Herbert" was released as a teaser on 14 October 2016. It was accompanied by an animated lyric video in the style of the album's artwork.
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.
