You Keep Me Hanging On

During their summer tour in 1980, the band previewed another song called 'E.R.N.I.E.', which was Suggs' tribute to premium bonds. Premium bonds are a popular lottery system that was introduced in 1957. The initials 'E.R.N.I.E.' means ...
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, ...
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 ...
Fish & Chips

Are You Coming (With Me)
I’d Do Anything (If I Could)
Oh my goodness! What on earth is going on here? This track has Foreman's signature all over it, instantly conjuring up images of Craggy Island. Did Zoom Boy wrap up an epic binge-watching session of Father Ted? The monotonous drone of "I’d Do ...
Bed And Breakfast Man
Clive Langer praises the song and describes it as "dead solid, a great song. Barson comes up with something in a melody that no one else does. And he writes a great mundane lyric." It is clear that the song bears the unique style of Mike ...
Don’t Look Back

Madness (2-Tone Version)

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 ...
Never Knew Your Name
Mike: 'Never Knew Your Name' was an old song that'd been kicking around for ages. After the band broke up in the 80s, I was working with Suggs on a project together. We did quite a lot of recording over a few years, and then he got talked into ...
Big Time Sister
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 ...
