The Jam - Town Called Malice + Lyrics

[AzzarClarKyy95]

this song echos the way towns and cities were during the coal miners strike of 84 and 85-thanks a bunch maggie thatcher for turning our society into a riot filled scrap heap, people were freezing in the winter time thanks to you, coz they couldnt get any coal for the fire! IRON LADY! HA! MORE LIKE THE FUCKIN RINKLY OLD BAG WHO TRIED TO CLOSE THE PITS SO EVERYONE HAD TO FREEZE THEIR TITS OFF!!

[THEKINGOFOLDTRAFFORD]

thumbs up if you love the JAM

[vodkamojito40]

can't help but dance everytime i hear this!!!

[Iareorgasm]

I look like an absolute twat when I sing this in my car, but I feel so good I don't care! :D

[banlatbulldog]

Very well worded, comprehensive, but punctuation, crap!..........ShoutOut must 'av a crackin' dad.

[ShoutOut159]

My dad sent me here.

[comprehensiveboy]

Such incredible pathos and tough romanticism. There was despair then but the faintest whiff of hope ...... somewhere ... The result was music like this.

[Gresaaa]

currently dancing like carlton to this in the corner of my kitchen

[Nestaloo]

Blessed is the Jam ..

[ThierryDanHenry]

FIFA 2004 :(

[Ryehead77]

Omg Im sick of these 'Im only 14 n I lyk older music, that makes me cooler than my friends' comments. No one gives a fuck!

[THEKINGOFOLDTRAFFORD]

@Ryehead77 the jam was ace 

[Ryehead77]

@THEKINGOFOLDTRAFFORD No argument here, I think The Jam are awesome, it's just every Ramones, Clash, Tears for Fears, Beautiful South and many other vids have an identical comment, gets kinda annoying

[tinyevilmidget]

@Ryehead77 that's not what they mean at all .What they mean is that even the new generations still like music from the 80's and it isn't dead to them even though they are from about 30 years since the songs were made.

[alexpeeh1]

its not depressing its feel good get up and go

[TheEddiejones15]

The Modfather!

[TheExampL]

"It's enough to make you stop believing, when tears come fast and furious" - Paul Weller my friend, you are genius. One of a kindddd

[THEKINGOFOLDTRAFFORD]

thumbs up if this song should be on fifa12

[THEKINGOFOLDTRAFFORD]

thumbs up if this was the best song that has been on fifa

[littleignisfatuus]

Thumbs up if Billy Elliot brought you here!

[thegeezerdan]

I think this is ian halloways song what he has playing on his phone when someones ringing him.

[DirtySlapadack]

@thegeezerdan My dad had this as his ringtone on his buisness number. Drove me fuckin' nuts hearin' the Keyboard go off every 10 minutes. Still a great tune, though.

[thegeezerdan]

@DirtySlapadack I agree it is definitely a great tune.

[PowerRanger310]

BILLY ELLIOTT!

[LiveForever912]

Always whack this on before I go for a day out at the football with the lads, can't beat it!

[DearBossMusic]

I just danced around my room in happiness until I could no longer breathe :)

[redheartbox]

I love the Jam. But I don't feel a song is an age survey to show how old we are/what music we like to prove how "alternative" we are.

[988GUMMYBEAR2010]

I am 12 i listen to The Clash, Gene Autrey (old country singer), Blondie, The Jam, madness, the specials, Johanny Cash, Taylor Swift

all the ska + punk and country artists,

[stefan5165]

@988GUMMYBEAR2010 sound mate picked good tunes. make sure you got your harrington and fred perry. classic

[988GUMMYBEAR2010]

@stefan5165 Ohh I missed them out, I listen to them too

[4ACBDZ511]

@988GUMMYBEAR2010 I agree old music is so much better than all this new stuff I 'm not a huge taylor swift fan but have some of her songs on my iPod. You forgot the police on that list. you should listen to them.

[BWFSabian]

Then he went gay and started 3 Poofs ans a Piano or maybe Style Council wankers.. 

[TTGDama]

After watching nearly every single football violence film i love the 80's tunes all about the jam, the clash and my favrioute song is tainted love by soft cell whatta a tune!!

[molineux143]

FIFAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

[GrassMonster811]

i love it because it is of the firm

from braydon

[jackobcooper]

Do you think that A Town Called Malice was really a meaning for, Country called UK?

Lyrics mean anything, to anyone here in UK

[bobfari]

@jackobcooper They refer to Woking, Surrey... Paul Weller was born there and the song is his experiences there

[jackobcooper]

@bobfari Thanks for the true meaning, but that wasn't the point of my comment, I basically just said you could apply this song for all of the UK especially at the time the song was made.

[CelticKisses]

Billy Elliot sent me here!

[neogeo2513]

[solidheir]

@JoelyGas74 Thats a most depressing comment.

[TheFetish123]

@JoelyGas74 Dont say that people listens to shit. Taste are differents for everyone, and we can't debate about that.

Btw, The Jam, what an awesome band.

[TotallyTodders]

@JoelyGas74 do you know what mate im 13 ive liked the jam since i was 9 and this song still remains my favourate (fail spell) and i to feel your pain because no one know these people

and well they are fucking epic

[tinyevilmidget]

[Bapewatch01]

@JoelyGas74 too rite mate, im 20 now, the jam arent my fav mod band, but i respect them for their other people's fav mod band. i grew up with scooters around me everyday, wen teachers used to ask us what we did on the weekend i used to say i went on the back of my dads scooter, my teachers were interested cuz they used to ask more lol, but everyone else didnt noe. not their fault just they were never shown the light. :P

[nirvan5a]

@JoelyGas74 stfu lol. who gives a crap.

[TheTruthstalker]

[M19niceone]

i think the casual connections are coming from the firm film.

[StokeyCasual]

@M19niceone LOL, doubt it pal, the casual scene's been going since the early 80's the firm was made in '09, well the one with casuals in was. the original one's wank

[vhjvk24]

isn't this song from Billy Elliot the movie????

[hlybum]

@vhjvk24 yep

[greatestone00]

@vhjvk24 Yes



[yaliag]

feel good music + depressing lyrics, gotta love that Weller chap

[LittlPussi]

@yaliag True, the picture he paints is depressing, but he does it with poetry. And there's fight in it, so it's not hopeless.

[streetdogbastard]

@yaliag no depresing lirycs real life lirycs

[ClockCutter]

@yaliag Oh, that's insightful. But, I like to think of the feel good music and depressing lyrics as Weller's, and Jam's, desperate optimism. (The feel good music only came later, no??) At least, that's the way I felt back then, and the reason I identified so much with the Jam. Despite all, they were going to break through out of the dark pessimism and cynicism of punk. Beat Surrender was either the final break through or the final surrender. I've never known which.

[MSCLBERE]

Ointment, 80's Hull away - always fun :)

[SwindonTownFc31]

listen before a football day with swindon :D Nuthin better at 8 in the mornin just before you get on the train to millwall
