We owe Madness a debt of gratitude for all there class and entertainment. You are out of the top draw. Thank you for all your timeless creative records past and present.
Grown up listening to and loving Madness music. This really does feel like the return to the Madness glory days of old.... Love this track, upbeat and catchy lyrics too.
Suggs has a strange power over me. He is a mesmerising frontman. Been fascinated by him since I was a little girl in the 80's and he still holds me amazed now I am 40!
Same! Can't take my eyes off him. Seeing him live for the first time a few weeks ago has put me on another planet. His charisma was off the charts in person!! 😂❤
Grown up listening to madness with my dad. Now my baby sister has started to listen to them.. their new album. She's four and knows all the words to this and other songs. Nothing better than madness!
One of the most underrated songs ever. Saw Madness perform this on the Jonathan Ross show many, many years ago. One of those rare songs that you hear for the first time and absolutely love it. Thanks for posting.
That's an amazing song! Absolutely accurate and subtly realising the spirit of Madness that I love. All grown up and wiser, those cheerful boys who drove me crazy in my 18! That's what the perfect Englishman looks like in my mind.
Their music has matured along with them. The song is more solid than some of their earlier stuff and is almost big-band style. Not to say their earlier music wasn't amazing. This just has a less raw and more polished feel to it, and it suits them just as their earlier music suited them being younger and more energetic.
Perfect observation. However I think that in addition, their audience has also matured. A perfect fit. Re visiting some of their less known numbers, I am in absolute awe, in a way which youth did not allow me to appreciate. Under appreciated or not ... Frigging treasures imo
Exactly this. A marvelous progression. I know some like only the earlier stuff, but the latest and recent songs are fantastic! They grow, we grow. I'm thrilled to have so many types of Madness! ❤
Beautiful, bittersweet and wistful. Classic Madness. Well done chaps. I'm so glad you got back together and started writing again. You've made a middle-aged bloke very happy!!
I am finding this song growing on me more and more. It is a true master piece in every way, lyrics, music, story line...... Very Skakespearian..... My English Brothers, may I extend a hand of friendship to you. Greetings from a Boer in South Africa.
One if the best lyrics and melodies I have ever heard. Very deep if you were ever desperately in love...and faced the same situation! And my favourite track from Madness (apart from their "Classics")! 1.000.000 points out of 5... :))
When I was a teenager back in the 80s i used to listen to madness all the time and I fell in love with them and then, I stumbled across this video, I thought what a lovely song, now I find myself listening again 40 years later. What a terrific band, I wish I could thank them personally for the joy they Gave me.
One of the best songs from Madness and very good album Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da after all these years, I grew up with their music in Ex -Yugoslavia... So cheers and big hello from fucking Croatia ;)
The great thing about Madness is that we can grow older with them without having to grow up. Magic
Personally i think this is the best ever song madness have recorded,
brilliant Suggs and madness.
The saxophone is absolutely brill.
Does anyone know where i can get the backing track for this song.
John Haddow yes or Herbert these are great!
Agree mate, just magic.
John Haddow
Sorry, no. But it's amazing with the lyrics
This song is just typical of madness. Fun , but cleverly done with touches of darkness and melancholy. Absolutely superb 👌 👏
The best song from them in years, it rolls back the years.
These guys are so bloody good...

Heart-achingly beautiful. That pang of regret when by circumstance, or foolishness, you know you've missed the chance of something special.
Absolutely
Suggs has a strange power over me. He is a mesmerising frontman. Been fascinated by him since I was a little girl in the 80's and he still holds me amazed now I am 40!

That tune breaks my little MAD heart (like they always did). Classic Madness.
Astounding. Lyrics such a reflection of how we live.
Found myself humming this song the other day , after hearing it a month ago. Catchy little tune .

Speaking as a now aged Madness fan, I have to say, that is a classic Madness tune. Nice one, Barso!

Such a sweet tune, so very Madness-like. Reminds me of their long ago tune "Embarrassment."
Nic Nik embarrassment still stands the test of time
I'm 56.....that sliding door moment has been and gone in 1989.....will I ever see her again.....
They did the new years in ireland and they were fantastic.
love that they shot it in black and white nice touch
It sounds like a true story.......
Yeah, imagine that woman NOT knowing?! Yikes ! I'ld give Suggs my number ! ;)
It is a true story but not about Suggs
Mirjana Pucarevic : it happens thousands of times. A several times to me.
