Never Ask Twice
Given the Opportunity
Burning The Boats
Elysium
Round We Go
The song, written by Woodgate, is a catchy tune that deserves to be released as a single. The backing singers provide a solid hook, and the studio mix boasts a stronger, more heavenly intro than the raw live version. It's likely that Madness is ...
It Must Be Love
Is There Anybody Out There?
Mike kicks off this track with a Beach Boys-style organ intro that evokes a late '60s vibe, complemented by Chris's gritty guitar riff and subtle saxophone backing. As I listen, I can't help but reminisce about the con artists who used to sell ...
Sweetest Girl
Walking with Mr. Wheeze
Grandslam
Shadow of Fear
"Shadow Of Fear" is a song that reflects the fear and paranoia of living in London, whether it is real or just imagined. "Not Home Today" is another track with a reggae influence and talks about how people make excuses to cover up the fact that ...
Mr. Speaker (Gets The Word)
Driving In My Car
"Driving in My Car" was written by Mike Barson and recorded by Madness. It was released as a stand-alone single on 24 July 1982 and spent eight weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number four. It reached number 20 on the Australian ...
My Girl 2
Mike: My wife is from the former Yugoslavia, where they use the phrase "Da" for "yes" So the opening to 'My Girl 2', with everyone shouting "Oui oui, si si, ja ja, da da!" is some chap being very enthusiastic about his girlfriend, so ...
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 ...
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 ...
La Luna
Chris: 'La Luna' was the only song I wrote on the album. We'd been playing it live before we recorded it, and [bassist) Graham Bush and Woody had this bit that was quite heavy, and I didn't like it. And we recorded the version on the album, and ...
Oh My Love
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 ...
Culture Vulture
Okay, it’s been over 30 years in the making—well, not really. Though some might try to draw a strange connection to the song once heard in 1996 at Madstock, this is not that tune. The only common thread here is the title, 'Culture Vulture.' ...
