The Jam - Town Called Malice download song

Pure genius at every level. Feel privileged to have been a young person when bands like the Jam, the Stranglers, Blondie, the Clash, the Pistols [the list is endless] were the mainstream musical staple diet. Oh how things have changed.

Makes me proud to be English. Aiye lad.

I'm glad Far From Home reminded me about this song. Such a classic!

British Bands destroying everyone else since 1950's

"Stop Dreamin' Of The Quiet Life 'Cause It's The One We'll Never Know". That's as great as Shakespeare. This one and Costello's Get Happy is the pinnacle of Motown /R&R.

The Jam paying homage to Motown.

I don't really care if you're here because of The walking dead or Billy Elliot or whatever else.... I'm here because of The Jam, nothing more nothing less.

"Town Called Malice" Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 'Cos it's the one we'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus 'Cos those rosey days are few And...stop apologising for the things you've never done 'Cos time is short and life is cruel But it's up to us to change This town called Malice Rows and rows of disused milk floats Stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing When tears come fast and furious In a town called Malice Struggle after struggle, year after year The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice I'm almost stone cold dead In a town called Malice A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef Gets dashed against the co-op To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear It's a big decision in a town called Malice The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere Just going 'round and 'round Playground kids and creaking swings Lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will But I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called Malice

I am sure this was in Billy Elliott. When he is dancing around.......up the street?.

I was born a few seconds ago and I still listen to this beauty

from a time when music was powerful bands created movements angry at the governments , war, drugs etc and showed it through music nobodies angry anymore or allowed to be angry more like.

Love the jam especially Paul Weller love there songs and them thumbs up if you like the song

Simply the greatest band of them all total legends

My dad introducing me to this type of music was probably the best thing he’s ever done... I may only be 18 but thank god for the Mods!
