Madness - Madness

Madness at the Aklam Hall 1978 then doing the Nutty Train on the London Underground



Live in Paris (Chorus) 1980



Madness, madness
They call it madness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
It is plain to see
That is what they mean to me
Madness, madness
I call it gladness

Madness, madness
They call it madness
Madness, madness
They call it madness
I'm about to explain
That someone is losing his brain
Madness, madness
I call it gladness

Propaganda ministers
Propaganda ministers
I've got a heavy due
I'm gonna walk all over you
'Cause

Madness, madness
I call it gladness
Well if this is madness
Man I know I'm filled with gladness
It's gonna be rougher
It's gonna be tougher
And I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
Oh no, I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
You are gonna be the one who's gonna suffer

You are gonna be the one who's gonna suffer

Chrissie:
you've been crying your face is a mess
come in baby, you can wipe the tears on my dress
she's hurt you again, i can tell
i know that look so well

Ali:
Don't be shy, we've been here before
pull your shoes off,
and i will lock the door
and no-one has to know, i've come here again
knowing it'll be like it's always been before

(chorus)
Chrissie & ali:
Breakfast in bed, kisses for me

Ali:
Since you've had me here, i've returned again

You've been crying, your face is a mess

She's hurt you again. I can tell.
Oh I know that look so well.

Don't be shy, you've been here before
pull your shoes off, lie down, and I will lock the door.
And no one has to know you've come here again
loving you will be like it's always been before.

The Selecter - My Collie (Not A Dog)

The Selecter - My Collie (Not A Dog)

This is a government health warning
Smoking can seriously damage your brain

I love my collie, it makes me feel so high
It gives me deep meditation
Oh my sweet collie

I love it I love it I love it so
But I don't want it to go
I need it I need it I need it so
I'll never let it go

Laurel Aitken & The Skatalites - Mood for Ska

I'm in the mood for ska
simply because you're near me
funny but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for ska

heaven is in your eyes
bright as the stars we're under
oh is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for ska

why stop to think that whether
each little dream I pray
we'll put our hearts together
now we are one, I'm not afraid

if there's a cloud above
if it should rain we'll let it
over tonight forget it
I're in the mood for ska
