Our House
Run For Your Life
The album's tracks have a strong seventies vibe, and this particular song boasts a disco-funk sound. Written by Foreman, it features a confident rhythm, a dynamic threefold bass line, and a dominant horn section with repetitive riffs. The ...

Madness (2-Tone Version)
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 ...

What On Earth Is It (You Take Me For?)

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, ...
Going To The Top
Set Me Free (Let Me Be)
With his fifth composition on the album, Foreman presents a smooth yet dark track that instantly immerses you into the shadows of lockdown, evoking images of watching the sun and the moon and the seasons pass from the window of an empty room. ...
Take It or Leave It
'Take It Or Leave It' was inspired by the name of a Roxy Music track and set to quirky music presumably inspired by Sixties spy films. Mike Barson mentioned that writing it was mainly a poetic expression of my continuing mental state, though I ...
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.
