King of Hearts

Lip Syncing...

Madness were renowned for meaningful lyrics and fantastic musical scores. Everything that they did hit a chord, not just the late - 70s/80's material, but the later songs such as Lovestruck and Johnny the Horse........these reflected real situations. More than creative, absolutely inspirational writing, yet, at the time when we were but mere teenagers, of for that matter younger, we bought the vinyl for the songs.....strange we never really understood at that time the greater meaning in the music that was Madness. Must admit, to this day, I will happily enjoy their works!!

Possibly their best song, a Suggs penned concerto, the final release off Stiff and marking the beginning of the end.It wasn't received well by the single buying audience who preferred the nutty Keystone Cops image of the earlier days.But this is without doubt Madness at their very best musically.

Surrounded by his past on a short white lineHe sits while cars pass either side takes his timeTrying to remember one better dayA while ago when people stopped to hear him say#mrdoguz

no I disagree, Suggs didn't sing this alone, he had backing vocals, the guy in the white clothing seems to be treating the song with complete respect and he seems to be holding back from any attempt at upstaging the lead singer Suggs. Nicely done

you can see them playing it straight for this track, out of respect for the homeless people of Camden town, most of the audience don't get what this song was about. Madness, fantastic English Icon

Yes exactly and with a social conscience like that it makes me wonder what the fuck they where doing on top of that queens roof. Sad to see what they have turned into.

Agree it's their roots, as I said, their sound is much more than ska, this song cannot be described as ska. Nor most of their albums. Nobody was skanking around the room to the Rise & Fall, Keep Moving, Mad Not Mad albums, we were listening to them and marveling at the song writing.

spalf73

Agree, don't help themselves by riding on the Ska banner again these days, they were so, so, much more

Great band, fantastic song. I think they're really underrated as songwriters. Most people see them as wacky clowns but a lot of their songs contained social commentary on issues such as (in this case) the homeless, depression (grey day), animal experiments (tomorrow's dream) sexual abuse (razor blade alley), the americanization of the western world (uncle sam), the falklands war/thatcherism (blue skinned beast), etc. etc.
