Yeah, he's brilliant. He does some incredibly inventive basslines. IMO all of Madness deserve a lot more recognition for their musical chops than they usually get.
A cage of my own, this cage is my home, And oh so alone am I. From above all around helpless to the sound Of my brother's cry. Just leave us alone, we don't want to moan, Only if you make us. Smashed on the lock until I've had to, drop. Tried to get my message through. Off goes another with another's brother, My arms try to bend across to a friend. You can't burn me with your laser beam, It's pointed at you and tomorrow's dream. You'll burn my body quietly set free, And I'll cry for you as I sway from my tree. I'd give you my brain nothing you would gain, Its misery seeps from you. When leaving my cage I am in a rage Because I know what you're up to. When you walk away remember next day, Not a second I've slept, awake I'll have kept. When I reappear, don't look on in fear My hands could kill But they never will. You can't burn me with your laser beam, It's pointed at you and tomorrow's dream. You'll burn my body quietly set free, And I'll cry for you as I sway from my tree.
Perhaps one of the greatest lost madness tracks. Totally ahead of its time.
A cage of my own, this cage is my own - and so alone am I. Love this song.
Even their lesser known songs are great! Viva Madness!!!
genuinely ahead of its time. so underrated
Am I the only one who thinks Mark Bedford is a seriously underrated bass player? And I'm a keyboard player!
I'm a bassist and I really think he's amazing
Yeah, he's brilliant. He does some incredibly inventive basslines. IMO all of Madness deserve a lot more recognition for their musical chops than they usually get.
Their only hit was our House
One of the best tracks in their history and certainly merited being a single. Reminds me of mid term Roxy Music taken somewhere completely else.
Even madnesses less known songs are great! 👍
And the Instrumental version "Animal Farm" (M. Barson and L.Thompson)
excelente disco
One of the best
Fantastico one of there best
Absolute class brings back good memories heading into town on a Saturday morning playing Pool Space invader machines
Absolutely wonderful
Bril! Still have my first release of this album. Played once and 'taped'.
A cage of my own, this cage is my home,
And oh so alone am I.
From above all around helpless to the sound
Of my brother's cry.
Just leave us alone, we don't want to moan,
Only if you make us.
Smashed on the lock until I've had to, drop.
Tried to get my message through.
Off goes another with another's brother,
My arms try to bend across to a friend.
You can't burn me with your laser beam,
It's pointed at you and tomorrow's dream.
You'll burn my body quietly set free,
And I'll cry for you as I sway from my tree.
I'd give you my brain nothing you would gain,
Its misery seeps from you.
When leaving my cage I am in a rage
Because I know what you're up to.
When you walk away remember next day,
Not a second I've slept, awake I'll have kept.
When I reappear, don't look on in fear
My hands could kill
But they never will.
You can't burn me with your laser beam,
It's pointed at you and tomorrow's dream.
You'll burn my body quietly set free,
And I'll cry for you as I sway from my tree.

Ohhh this is what Peter Griffin in Family Guy was doing back in 1981, that’s vary cool. 2:27
I’m confused
Can you explain
My favorite:)
It sounds simple but the drum pattern on this track is very difficult.
@Zelda it took me a while to work it out, mind you I was 14!
I believe it's in 7/8???
Yep, 7/4 time and swung... does that make it 21/8?!
Quality
This cage is my own... ✌
🏁🎤🕶🎤🕶🎸🎸🎹🎷🥁🎶🎵This is SKA🏁😎. 🇮🇪😎
What part of this song is Ska exactly?
Mike snd Kix were smoking something when they wrote this. 😆
7 nutters
Definitely should have been a single Instead of Shut Up in my opinion.
