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.

Em D
For liberty there is a cost;
Cmaj7 Em
It's broken skulls and leather cosh
Em D
From the boys in uniform.
Cmaj7 Em
Now you know whose side they're on,
Am Em
With backing and blessing
Am Em
From earthly gods, not Heaven.
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7
A Stone's Throw Away to it all.
Em Cmaj7 Em
Em D
Whatever pleasure those who get
Cmaj7 Em
From stripping skin with rhino whip
Em D
Are the kind that must be stopped
Cmaj7 Em
Before their kind take all we've got.
Am Em
With loving, with caring,
Am Em
They take great pride in working.
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 Fmaj7
The Stone's Throw Away to it all.

Wherever honesty persists
Cmaj7 Em
You'll hear the snap of broken ribs
Em D
Of any one who'll take no more
Cmaj7 Em
Of the lying bastards roar.
Am Em
In Chile, in Poland,
Am Em
Johannesburg, South Yorkshire.
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 C6
A Stone's Throw Away; Now we're there.
