I sat and watched the crowds in London
I know each road by name
Today the streets are cold and empty
Cos no one likes the rain
I soon lost count of all the cars
That burned so bright outside the bars
Deserted streets, and burning shells
Familiar shops I know so well
Today the birds no longer twitter
The words don't make it true
When there's no line I'm up the junction
I can't be there with you
I've always got a magic line
That I tap into any time
I watch the world by day and night
It's very close, but out of sight
Small world
Spent together
Spent in wonder
Linked forever
The words were out, and spread like fires
From good to bad, habitual liars
The drama queens rejoice again
Until the next time, who knows when?
We could be miles apart forever
But we are somehow here together
The world is always talking somewhere
And we can choose or not to be there
Madness is a British pop and ska band formed in London in 1976. They were part of the late 70s ska revival in the UK, although their accent concentrated more on fun than their political stable-mates The Specials and The Beat. Their sound, characterized by catchy melodies, ironic lyrics and contagious energy, made them one of the most popular groups of the period. Among Madness's most famous songs are 'Our House', 'Baggy Trousers', 'It Must Be Love' and 'House of Fun'. The album 'One Step Beyond...' (1979) is considered a classic of the ska revival genre.
