Nice to give that one a spin, playing quite a bit of two-tone in this first hour. This next one by Madness is probably one of my favorite songs that they've recorded. That's more modern, let's put it that way, although it's from 2009, I believe.
SPEAKER_04I seen the madness that come through to poly. Witness the blessing rise up in a very strange disguise. And though you have become a burden, one thing remains, that's certain. I will love you all my life, but without you in my life. I've seen you coming from the very humble beginning in W5 And though we face the final curtain, one thing remains that's for certain.
SPEAKER_07I will love you all my life, but without you in my life, I would give you everything, for just a smile you bring, for just a soldier, I would give you everything, for just a smile you bring, for just a stunning Who wants to grow up only to despise Witness the blessing rise up in a very strange disguise?
SPEAKER_04And nothing seems last forever. People change just like the weather. Some folk never to work out for the best time.
