The rise and fall a dark melodious compilation with a more mature wackiness about it old fashioned good english poetry and story telling in music form an importwnt turning point in their music genious showing their ability to flourish in the music scene but still hold on to their luvvable musical eccentricity distuingishing them apart from everyone else first class musicians and lyricists a unique style that will never be bested and never be beaten flamin blinkin brilliant as are all their album

Best song about a man commiting suicide! :D Madness's real skill to adapt to the changing music enviroment can be seen here.

@MadnotMad79: That's right. A passer-by isn't a commonly used English word though. The song is actually my favourite Madness track, but the audio quality is abysmal. Fortunately, the remaster of Rise and Fall is coming soon :D
