    Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, 'cause it's the one we'll never know
    And quit running for the runaway bus 'cause those rosy days are few
    And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
    'Cause 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, yeah
    Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, oh
    Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

    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, ooh yeah
    A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
    Gets dashed against the Co-op
    To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear
    It's a big decision in a town called malice, ooh yeah
    The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track
    It's at the moment bound for nowhere
    Just going round and round, oh
    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, yeah
    In this town called malice, yeah
    In this town called malice, ooh yeah

    Just re-watched Billy Elliot and the dance montage with Town Called Malice. Forgot how great this song is and what a great piece of film making that sequence is. The anger and frustration of Billy expressed through dance while listening to the biting lyrics with subtly upbeat music and rhythm of the Jam. That's a lot to get right in one 3 minute section of film and they nailed it.

    Cannot believe at 49 years old Im just discovering this band. Swear to you, here in the states, not a single soul introduced me to this band. WTH man !!! The clash? yes of course the Smiths? Absolutely the cure? decades ago etc etc etc the list goes on and on of amazing British bands I've indulged in but NO ONE introduced me to this wonderful band? Are you serious?I repeat ... WTH man!!! The only song that sounds somewhat familiar is 'that's entertainment' and yet cannot place where I've heard it. I'm sickened (for missing them) yet elated (for finally discovering them) by this experience. Better late than never I guess. Smh in disbelief.

So sad he chose to be a dick, the Jam could have been there with the greats....instead Style Council was just a watered down heap of sh1t...allegedly because Wellers old man, who managed the Jam, decided Paul was too talented for the others....what a prick!

    Just played on 6 Music, and still after 40 plus years it stops you in your tracks and demands your full attention for it's 2 mins 58 seconds duration. I don't know how many times I've listened to it - hundreds of times probably, but it never fails to impress. A perfect song in every way - it cannot be faulted. It's a folk song now that has passed into the very fabric of this country (and for other countrys too I'll wager) and will undoubtedly be sung for decades to come, long after we've all shuffled off. If you grew up in the 60s/70s/80s and beyond you can relate to it's sentiment, a universal theme of struggle. Weller has written so many great songs; this may not even be his 'best' song... remarkable.
