What a tune!!!! Hadn't heard it for years.
Gotta feel sorry for today's youth. What the flick have they got?

Saw them a couple of times.... They always finished the gig with 'Tubestation'
That's how he spoke, that's how he sings
you see the way men sing now with their soppy voices and fake emotion makes me want to vomit
Weller could sing a love song too, English rose , but that was real emotion

Its hard to believe England produced groups like that, seems so long ago
only England could have produced such a group, nowhere else

My friend toured with Weller a few times not that long go. He is often very rude and rather unpleasant these days. Fame gets to em all.
weller was a miserable git back in the 80,s.. he gave up drinking .. it made him worse 
One of my top 10 songs of all time, an absolutely timeless classic.
He was very jealous of David Watts, wonder what became of him?
He became my manager at the Pru! (Ironically, that was his name)
they smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs and too many right wing meetings !
the smell of brown leather ,it blended in with the weather !

This is a B side, Ed Sheerin would have had a No1 with it.
Liza Radley, see the girl with long hair
See her creeping 'cross summer lawns at midnight
And all the people in the town where we live say she's not quite right
She don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand why she's doesn't stay in hospital
In a darkened room it's for their lives only she cries
Liza Radley, see her jump through loneliness
Liza Radley, take me when you go
And as the people pass by, their heads in the air
On to with their life's, she records a lonely sigh,
But no matter what they say, in her mind she knows,
Their dream of life they won't never find
And all the people in the town where we live say she's not quite right
She don't fit in with a small town
They just can't understand she's doesn't stay in hospital
In a darkened room it's for their lives only she cries.
Liza Radley, I pledge myself to you alone.
But she kissed my face and said Love means nothing at all
She kissed my face and said Life means nothing at all

Charted at No 15 - obviously not appreciated much at the time.

at the time lyrics were very true. You took a chance travelling on the tube late at night. imo.

I'm going for a sit down as I just agreed with lfc on something
It was appreciated at the time Johhny but the charts aren't everything.
Don't know where Anarchy in the UK went to in the charts but it is still electric to me. The early Jam stuff was not hitting the charts big from memory but there was a strong contingent of people listening to it. I still have Eton Rifles on vinyl oh and Peaches / Go buddy go, kwality!
To be fair the Jam were much better musically later on but the rawness was what got us going

It was pretty good but I thought Ghost Town caught the zeitgeist.
I think woundedknee must be 14 years old because the 70's were rough! London seems pretty safe to me. What part of South London's mean streets do you frequent wounded knee?
and its alot more dangerous now.. i live in se london ...i know
Call BS on that.. 70s 80s much more likely to get mugged or a smack in the mouth for no reason... imo.

I agree with Emitdeb ... I personally feel safer on the streets nowadays.
I am in my mid fifties now and maybe kids attack other kids. So maybe that's the reason. Nobody bothers an old clunt like me

Plus not out and about in the wrong places at the wrong times .. more likely to run into agro when you're young.

Indeed, people very regularly got beaten up, for their preferred taste in music.
Even, relatively close musically bands.
Can't imagine that now
Sam Smith or Ed Sheeran? > Wrong answer > [bosh]

I'm from the Midlands.. Late '70s early '80s Punks had a hard time from everyone
♫♫♫ Saturday's boys live life with insults,
Drink lots of beer and wait for half time results,
Afternoon tea in the light-a-bite - chat up the girls - they dig it!
Saturday's girls work in Tesco's and Woolworths,
Wear cheap perfume 'cause its all they can afford,
Go to discos they drink Babycham talk to Jan - in bingo accents.
Saturdays kids play one arm bandits,
they never win but that's not the point is it,
Dip in silver paper when their pints go flat,
How about that - far out! ♫♫♫

Slow Down wounded knee... can and could look after myself pal... what scares you so much these days? Bermondsey's changed for the better i thought..

i went to Barberellas in Birmingham late 70,s .. i was a roadie for some Mod bands .. ended up in a fight with a big mob of Blues supporters and got chased out
Jumping to wrong conclusions again woundedknee... you was 17 in late 70s.. so youre confusing me.
these days you cant trust 20-30 year olds , most have no loyalty . they wont have a punch up.. they are slippery bstards and wait to get you in numbers tooled up.. rob each other .. generally wrong uns
Massive Jam fan back in the day

woundedknee,
Do you seriously say Bermonmdsey is more dangerous these days than in the 70's?
Are you likely to bump into someone who says " I don't like your face "? Ashley to be fair most of the tough guys kept it to themselves.
I'd suggest the most danger anyone would face in Bermondsey these days is being in a boozer and meeting a crowd of Woundedknee and his old mates on the lash reliving old glories...and you know what I'm talking about don't you wounded knee
I think you are right though. In any city center type situation the biggest problem is gangs of kids roaming around with nothing to do. They are not usually in high street or pub situations. The pubs and high streets are generally safe but around their own patch they can be ferral, carry knives and live in a state of mind alien to most of us old codgers.
I feel sorry for them because when we were 14 years old going to the pub and finding out how far to push before someone gave you a slap they are usually in their herd and protected. The fear of leaving the herd manifests in carrying knives, which, generally we did not do. In fact there were strong feelings against those carrying knives.
The other big kickers after not drinking is imho taking drugs because they can't afford alcohol and their music is sheite! That is why many of them listen to our music and we still listen to our music.
Going to pubs was a great way to learn to interact with society. That is why again imho we have so many problems with Musso's and not Sikh's!

That made me laugh! and who is to say you are wrong! I despair of young people at times. Self absorbed uninteresting, unopinionated and boring! oh and did I mention their music is sheite!
