Lola
Lee: 20 years after its release, Chris & myself wrote our inspired version, 'Mistress, Mistress' - it sounded fab but, as agent 1 would say, 'this song is available absolutely nowhere!' Lola obviously had an unearthly effect on myself as ...

Land Of Hope & Glory
Not only did Lee write "Land of Hope & Glory," but he sang it with Suggs, getting just one or two lines in. There was never going to be any argument about that, though. As Clive says, "Lee's songs sounded great.

Elysium

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 ...

Barson, the band's strongest songwriter, has once again delivered a classic Madness track with a beautiful melody reminiscent of "The Sun and the Rain" or "Sugar and Spice." The lyrics explore themes of criminal activity, having fun, and ...

In My Street
This track, unearthed from the archives of the past five years, was penned by Suggs and reflects on living in the same house for 40 years. It first emerged during the 2018 Arena Tour and the 2019 XL Tour. Unfortunately, the track lacks any ...

Solid Gone
Smyth’s Fifties rock’n’roll pastiche, ‘Solid Gone’, possibly motivated by a rock’n’roll rockabilly revival which saw the likes of Matchbox following acts such as Rocky Sharpe & The Replays into the UK charts. Within a month of the release of ...

This Is Where
This is where the Danger begins, This is where the Danger ends, This is where there are no strangers,This is where there are only friends, This is here and now forever, This is us here all together, This is the heart, the soul of the sound, ...

Waltz Into Mischief

Is There Anybody Out There?
Mike kicks off this track with a Beach Boys-style organ intro that evokes a late '60s vibe, complemented by Chris's gritty guitar riff and subtle saxophone backing. As I listen, I can't help but reminisce about the con artists who used to sell ...
