I LOVE THE JAM !!!
-
This song was made twenty years before I was born :P
-
Now your talking.Bring back the mods punks and skins!
-
Great number, great band. This is not analysis of the song but Thatcher should have been 'botty bopped' to the other side of the universe. One destructive devious bitch!!!!
-
I know exactly what the song was about. But it was a reflection of Thatcher's Britain, as Weller sings in the song "Too many right winged meetings!"
Just like watching This is England 86, it's not directly about thatcher, it is about people living in Thatcher's Britain. And Weller was anti Thatcher, and the whole song is about the thuggery and fear that was allowed to exist at that time. Not much different than today.

@sugarplumfairiie Sorry but I think you need to listen to the lyrics properly, it was about a bloke getting beaten up in the underground on his way home. The thugs took his housekey and he was scared for his wife because 'She'll think it's me' but he can't do anything because he is in a mess after being beaten up.
The Jam did have a lot of songs out against Thatcherism, but this was about travelling alone in the underground and getting beat up.
-
Weller wrote Down In the Tube station at midnight against Thatcherism, and ringed winged Britain.

To all . . . piss off with your f-ing analysis. Wankers.
