A Town With No Name
Written by Chris Foreman, who was then the king of B-sides, A Town With No Name was the B-side to the single 'Shut Up' and drew inspiration from the lawless settings of classic Spaghetti Western films. The latter's dramatic and haunting ...
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 ...

Mr. Speaker (Gets The Word)
(You) Cant Keep A Good Thing Down
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 ...
