With all due respect to the enobled gentleman but he is talking utter cack

 

I am normally resigned to one song per artist going through in each back but both of these are more than worthy. Each talking a different approach to the English urban poetry. 

 

Up The Junction is one of the finest narrative songs which is comparable to Ode to Billy Joe in its approach to the subject matter.

Last chance to show Come Back My Love some er...... love before it disappears beneath the waves.

Pop Muzik is good but I prefer the ones around it.

I sang in a (mostly) new wave covers band in the late 80s, lots of Skids, Undertones, Jam etc.

We did both the squeeze ones here, both usually went down pretty well despite being less energetic than most of the other stuff we did.

Squeeze's East Side Story is a great album. I commend it to the House.
