For me, one of the Jam’s finest with its infectious bass lines and Hammond-style keys. Together with the lyrics it seems to me that the whole song works to offer that rarest of gem to anybody left with the imagination to hear it, namely things don’t have to be shit if you want them to change. Funny how as a teenager I didn’t have a problem getting the meaning of this song yet years later as adult I sometimes find myself struggling under the weight of cynicism and inertia when it comes to such idealism. Maybe that was The Jam’s genius and their appeal; they just cut straight through the bullshit every time whilst making you want to dance your tits off!
well warranting it's place on the ST for FIFA 2004, one of their best, only in my eyes behind London Underground (which strangely, isn't on her, I must rectify that)
