Tomorrow’s (Just Another Day)
C’est La Vie
Madness has done it again! While it may not be a US number one, it has earned a spot on the B List on Radio 2. From the Act 1 introduction to the newly minted saxophone intro, "C'est La Vie" will have you hooked from the start. Lee's classic ...

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, ...
The Business

Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
One Step Beyond…
How different it might have been, though. In the early days, the band played "One Step Beyond" simply as a short instrumental introduction to the main set. Some nights, they played the theme from "Hawaii 5'0". Some nights, they played the ...
Swan Lake
"One Step Beyond..." album by Madness includes four cover versions, and "Swan Lake" is one of them. Interestingly, it's a cover of The Cats' version, released between 1968 and 1970, which itself was a reggae version of "Swan Lake." Mark ...
Sweetest Girl
Tomorrow’s Dream
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.' ...
Round We Go
The song, written by Woodgate, is a catchy tune that deserves to be released as a single. The backing singers provide a solid hook, and the studio mix boasts a stronger, more heavenly intro than the raw live version. It's likely that Madness is ...
Madness
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 ...
Disappear
"Disappear" is a track composed by Suggs and Bedders for the Madness album "Absolutely". It is considered to be their most melodic creation and has a Motown-inspired sound. The song begins with a beautiful piano melody from Barson and ...
The Prince (2-Tone Version)
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) ...
Leon
Woody: I'd written a song that was a bit Kings Of Leon-ish, rough, straight, lots of guitar. It sounded fucking great. I played it to Nick, because I needed a melody and some lyrics. He said, "All I've got is a chorus: 'I feel like running out ...
Oh My Love
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 ...
Tears You Can’t Hide
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 ...
