Stepping Into Line
"Stepping Into Line" is another tune from Mr Hasler's pen. "John wrote the first half of the words, and I wrote the other half," says Suggs. Chris describes it as "my moment of glory, trying to keep it all together!" Well, it does race away ...

Girl Why Don’t You?
Suggs: 28 years ago? There was a stall in Berwick St. market, in London's Soho, that sold 45s and had a great selection of Blue Beat records - I would buy as many as I could afford and rush home to play them. The ten second crackle of static ...

Culture Vulture
Okay, it’s been over 30 years in the making—well, not really. Though some might try to draw a strange connection to the song once heard in 1996 at Madstock, this is not that tune. The only common thread here is the title, 'Culture Vulture.' ...

You Are My Everything

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 ...

The Last Rag And Bone Man

Saturday Night, Sunday Morning

Rockin’ in A♭
Dan Barson was the singer of Bazooka Joe, a north London rock and roll band that started in 1970. His brother Mike used to see them play in the mid-1970s. After seeing the Sex Pistols, the band changed and is now better known as Stuart ...

Are You Coming (With Me)

Primrose Hill

Rain
Lee: Though Bruce Ruffin's version was plushly produced, the 'nursery rhyme' middle 8 always annoyed us so this was replaced by a James Bond feel with a dodgy sax solo over her. Trumpeter Simon Wilcox played a slurred, almost drunk-sounding ...

How Can I Tell You
Chris: 'How Can I Tell You' was a Cathal song, but Suggs had something to do with the lyrics. I reggae'd it up a bit and did quite a good riff in the chorus.

Keep Moving

New Delhi

So Alive
Mike: My wife loved 'So Alive' very much as a demo. I like that song, it's heartfelt. Even though we were having some difficulties, at the same time, creatively, Cathal was in a good place and was writing some really good stuff.

The Young and the Old
Suggs says the track "The Young and The Old" is about getting drunk in the pub and noticing how old people acted younger as the evening went on. A very astute observation for a man of such tender years!
