Was their biggest fan in the early years, youth club discos every Friday,ska is the best, then went on metal bender for 40 years, reminiscing over the old songs then found this gem fell in love all over again, can't stop playing it, thanks madness XxxX
At 1:24, there is an electronic woo-woo-woo-wa sound that i dont recall hearing in any other Madness song and only lasts about a second in this one. For me, it works well! First of all, what creative mind figured out this song needed that sound right there and only there? Was it inserted specially, or was it a spontaneous improvisation on the part of someone in the band while recording and it just got left in there and no where else? And, how was it made? Guitar, keyboard?... Anyway, just one of many reasons why I find Madness' music so intriguing and rich.
@@davidfelix2594 i used to think this album was trash, then i gave it a more thorough listen, sure, this track can be a bit messy at times, but all of the album is great, wouldn't say its trash anymore
"On The Town" Oh, it's early in the morning It's raining and the streetlights Streaming through my windows Casting shadows on the ceiling The room is oh so empty Stand against the wall The clock is ticking loudly It's deafening in this quiet room Oh, how long have I been waiting? What am I to say? Inside I don't want to stay Oh, 'cause I've been on the town Sick and tired of your frown I can hear you in the hallway It's not unusual you're there everyday Only now the hour's so late Every minute I've had to wait Has been an eternity But now you're back again with me The clock says five fifteen Oh, won't you tell me where you've been? Won't you tell me where you've been? What am I to say? Inside I don't want to stay Oh, 'cause I've been on the town Sick and tired of your frown And if I met another guy Who could not say I would not lie? I saw you in the morning It was just like every other day You kissed me on the cheek I said, "Here comes another week" You glanced out of the window And I asked you where your thoughts go "I'm just tired I guess", you said And turned away your head You just turned away your head What am I to say? Inside I don't want to stay Oh, 'cause I've been on the town Sick and tired of your frown What am I to say? I could not stand another day Oh, I wish that you could see That it's all over for me And if I met another guy Who could not say I would not lie 'Cause I've been on the town I've been on the town 'Cause I've been on the town I've been on the town I've been on the town I've been on the town I've been on the town I've been on the town I've been on the town On the town I've been on the town

One of the greatest songs of the 2000s. Should be much more widely known!
Rhoda is Awesome in On The Town!

Brilliant album..❤
What an excellent song !!!!
This album is a gem, just re discovered it again. I think it is one of their best too.
Excellent album.
Best album ever! I go back to the silver edition DVD if I'm blue, always cheers me up . Especially bingo and the clarkenwell polka.
Wonderful music.

Madness forever!!!
the boys are better than ever.
get your ears tested fella, worst album they've ever done
@@davidfelix2594
This and Keep Moving are the 2 worst for me, but they're good albums just the weakest
@@davidfelix2594 each to their own, I do think they are sounding smoother and more assured now.
@@davidfelix2594 simply a matter of opinion

❤
Full blooded ledge👌

"On The Town"
Oh, it's early in the morning
It's raining and the streetlights
Streaming through my windows
Casting shadows on the ceiling
The room is oh so empty
Stand against the wall
The clock is ticking loudly
It's deafening in this quiet room
Oh, how long have I been waiting?
What am I to say?
Inside I don't want to stay
Oh, 'cause I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown
I can hear you in the hallway
It's not unusual you're there everyday
Only now the hour's so late
Every minute I've had to wait
Has been an eternity
But now you're back again with me
The clock says five fifteen
Oh, won't you tell me where you've been?
Won't you tell me where you've been?
What am I to say?
Inside I don't want to stay
Oh, 'cause I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown
And if I met another guy
Who could not say I would not lie?
I saw you in the morning
It was just like every other day
You kissed me on the cheek
I said, "Here comes another week"
You glanced out of the window
And I asked you where your thoughts go
"I'm just tired I guess", you said
And turned away your head
You just turned away your head
What am I to say?
Inside I don't want to stay
Oh, 'cause I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown
What am I to say?
I could not stand another day
Oh, I wish that you could see
That it's all over for me
And if I met another guy
Who could not say I would not lie
'Cause I've been on the town
I've been on the town
'Cause I've been on the town
I've been on the town
I've been on the town
I've been on the town
I've been on the town
I've been on the town
I've been on the town
On the town
I've been on the town
greatest album!!
That intro is very similar to Runaway by Del Shannon: th-cam.com/video/0S13mP_pfEc/w-d-xo.html
There's another version with a different female singer
Spiffing album.
