Are You Coming (With Me)

Circus Freaks
Chris: Woody wrote 'Circus Freaks' with Lee. It was quite a 'rock'-type song. It was good, though the guitar wasn't loud enough.
Mike: I was playing the piano so hard on 'Circus Freaks' some of my fingers started bleeding. I'm used to doing ...
Small World
Chris: I loved 'Small World'. Because it talked about the "magic line" , this overground train-line that connected us all. When we did the book Before We Was We, we realised all these connections that had linked us, like Woody went to the same ...
Blackbird
My Girl
Elvis Costello, a former Stiff artist, unwittingly provided the musical backbone for “My Girl.” Mike Barson had gone along to the first Stiff Records package tour, which featured Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Nick Lowe, Larry Wallis, Wreckless ...

Burning The Boats
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 ...
You Said
Suggs says that my memory could be more precise with many songs he wrote with Mike. From what I recall, this tune was written by Mike in the days when we rehearsed in the disused dentist surgery in Finchley. Mike had the title and some of the ...
Waltz Into Mischief
Give Me A Reason
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 ...

Tomorrow’s (Just Another Day)
Not Home Today
Written by Suggs and Bedders the song 'Not Home Today' has a reggae influence and is about how people make excuses to hide the fact that a family member has been sent to borstal or prison. This theme of a life of crime is also present in ...
