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 ...
The Business
'The Business' is an instrumental reworking of 'Take It Or Leave It' from the album 'Absolutely'. '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 ...
Hunchback of Toriano
One Better Day
Cardiac Arrest
Uncle Sam
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 ...
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 ...
Forever Young
The band presented several songs from their latest album, "The Liberty of Norton Folgate," in three concerts held at London's Hackney Empire in June 2008. One of the songs that they played was 'Forever Young,' featuring a melodious tune. Suggs ...
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 ...
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 ...
Lovestruck
Dreader Than Dread
I’ll Complete
Night Boat To Cairo
The opening fog-horn sound of Lee's baritone sax certainly conjures up visions of a pea-souper over the English Channel. Still, I'm not sure about the River Nile … and then "it's just gone monsoon," the monsoon being a seasonal wind that ...
Mummy’s Boy
Mark explains that "Mummy's Boy" was written while he was still at school. "It was a chance remark by one of my teachers who told me he still lived at home with his parents. That set me thinking—in fact, I found it quite shocking.
White Heat
Taller Than You Are
Mark: Ever since Goliath got one in the eye and Jack chopped down the beanstalk, being tall hasn't had too many advantages. OK professional basketball players might disagree. But tell me: Why do ten huge men have to play on such a ...
In The Hall Of The Mountain King
Instrumental
If I Go Mad
The track is a magnificent piece of music that should have been the first single. Originally debuted during the lockdown in the one-off show "The Get Up!" in late 2022, it quickly stood out. Suggs' vocal delivery is flawless, likely because he ...
