Biografía:
Duo pionero del acid jazz, formado en 1983 por Paul Weller (ex lider de The Jam) y Mick Talbot (procedente de Merton Parkas). En 1984 entró en la banda el bateria Steve White y posteriormente se incorporo a la banda la cantante Dee C. Lee, colaboradora de Wham! y por entonces esposa de Weller.
Su mayor exito es el album Our Favourite Shop de 1985, donde bajo una superficie de ritmos jazzy, pop al estilo Burt Bacharach y bossa nova se esconden dirísimas críticas a Margaret Thacher, a la sazón primera ministra británica.

There's better ways of making cash
Than waiting in parks and selling your arse.
But I'm on the move and about to stay,
Always old in a very young way.
I'm a fool to myself when I think now,
I believed in the why but didn't know how.
And now I don't fit with no place to go,
Only down in a comical show.
B/F# C#m
All of the promises and all the dreams,
F# E
Couldn't put humpty back on his feet.
B/F# C#m
All the queens horses and all the queens guards,
D#m F#
Couldn't put money back in the yards.

I'm on the move about to stay, always old in a very young way. (x4)

C#m (instrumental verse)
All of the promises and all the dreams,
Couldn't put Humpty back on his feet,
All the Queen's horses and all the Queen's guards,
Couldn't put money back in the yards.
There's better ways of losing your pride,
Than waiting in queues for a cheque at a time.
But I've been taught that it's me whose the ponce,
And I can only act as I've been taught to respond.
But there's better ways to make ends meet,
Than shuffling through life dead on your feet.
But here we are and there they stay,
With their very small handouts in a very big way.
