How Can I Tell You
Chris: 'How Can I Tell You' was a Cathal song, but Suggs had something to do with the lyrics. I reggae'd it up a bit and did quite a good riff in the chorus.
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 ...
Don’t Quote Me On That
"Don't Quote Me On That" was a commentary on press coverage which had tried to paint the band as racists who supported the National Front (NF). Some of the band's shows had been disrupted by skinhead violence, and, in a 1979 NME interview.
You Keep Me Hanging On
Mark: People always say, I remember where I was and what I was doing, when I first heard that song. For me, *You Keep Me Hanging On', by The Supremes, is just one of those songs. 1967. Sitting in the kitchen, eating porridge, getting ready to ...
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 ...
Swan Lake

Drip Fed Fred (feat. Ian Dury)
Girl Why Don’t You?
Suggs: 28 years ago? There was a stall in Berwick St. market, in London's Soho, that sold 45s and had a great selection of Blue Beat records - I would buy as many as I could afford and rush home to play them. The ten second crackle of static ...
Long Goodbye
It starts off with the ethereal tones of Tingsha-Tibetan Chimes, instantly conjuring memories of John Lennon's iconic ‘(Just Like) Starting Over’. At first blush, it seems like the tale might belong to Johnny the Horse, who faced similar ...
This Is Where
This is where the Danger begins, This is where the Danger ends, This is where there are no strangers,This is where there are only friends, This is here and now forever, This is us here all together, This is the heart, the soul of the sound, ...
Dust Devil
Our House
The Wizard
Dreader Than Dread
Love Really Hurts
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 ...
