Time For Tea
My Obsession
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 ...
What On Earth Is It (You Take Me For?)
An old track resurrected, previously known as "Pussy Galore," was written by Lee Thompson and first aired during "The Sound of Madness Tour" in December 2018. Unfortunately, the track heavily echoes the style of "Crunch! (Aka the Nutty Boys)" ...
The Wizard
Israelites
Mike: I was with my brother Dan, we were on our pushbikes, it was the school summer holidays of 1968. We were slowly making our way out of the grime of North London on the long journey to our holiday destination, a railway cottage in Santon ...
Dreader Than Dread

Given the Opportunity
So Much Trouble In The World
Cathal: Since the world began and the first stone was thrown, when violence was born and fashioned daggers from bone, nothing much has changed... protect the weak, don't hang with the freak, keep a smile on your cheek, find the peace that you ...
Skylarking
Land Of Hope & Glory
Not only did Lee write "Land of Hope & Glory," but he sang it with Suggs, getting just one or two lines in. There was never going to be any argument about that, though. As Clive says, "Lee's songs sounded great.
Blue Skinned Beast
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" ...
Love Really Hurts
Promises Promises
Lola
Lee: 20 years after its release, Chris & myself wrote our inspired version, 'Mistress, Mistress' - it sounded fab but, as agent 1 would say, 'this song is available absolutely nowhere!' Lola obviously had an unearthly effect on myself as ...
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, ...
