Massively underrated band I always thought. I believe Paddy McAloon has recently (ish) released new and fabulous music.

There's tons of great one line lyrics, but this one probably means the most to me (personally). Changed my life in the mid 80s, made my mind up about something I'd been chewing over for a good while.

Who's gonna tell you when... it's too late?



Paulina (the girl in the vid), is the late Ric Ocasek of The Cars wife, she will be 58 next month and is in the news in the US currently about her 'looks').
She was just 19 in this vid back in 85.

The Jam have written some excellent lyrics, my favourite is probably
'As I was standing by the edge, I could see the faces of those who led, pissing themselves laughing'
