(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 ...
Rise And Fall
Missing You
Baby Burglar
During the performance, Suggs had a momentary lapse in the lyrics, but it didn't detract from the overall quality of the track. Bedder's bass line stood out beautifully in the mix, adding a solid foundation that enhanced the song's groove. I ...
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 ...
Crying

Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
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 ...

Herbert
Suggs composed Herbert with Mike Barson. Two weeks before "Can't Touch Us Now", the album's release, the song "Herbert" was released as a teaser on 14 October 2016. It was accompanied by an animated lyric video in the style of the album's artwork.
Given the Opportunity
Tarzan’s Nuts
Practically an instrumental with a few lines of banter to kick it all off, it's hardly surprising that these days, the band has a very shaky recollection of how the song came about.
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 ...
Theatre Of The Absurd
Madness kicked off their performance with "The Theater of the Absurd," a captivating piece that set the tone for the evening. The Prologue, written and composed by Barson, was performed live on stage against a backdrop of "Waiting for Godot" ...
I Chase The Devil AKA Ironshirt
Suggs: I first heard this track on a Lee Perry compilation - it was the last track on a four CD set and what a tremendous thing it is. The music, as always where Mr. Perry is concerned, sounded like it had come from outer space, as did Max ...
