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.

DmDm(maj7) Good morning day and how do you do C#augDm7 I wonder what will you do for me? DmDm(maj7) I should be on my way, I should be earning pay, C#augDm7 I should be all the things that I'm not - Bbmaj7AmGmDm And I've tried on my own, now there's nothing to keep me at home, Bbmaj7AmGmDm Like my Brother has too, got to move to get out of this view, Dm You see they tell you to move around - G/ADm/AA If you can't find work in your own town.
DmDm(maj7) As I rise from my bed I can hear the old man C#augDm7 Blaming Heaven and Mother for this DmDm(maj7) Thirty years with one firm, thirteen months redundant, C#augDm7 Yes I'd say that's unlucky for some -
Bbmaj7AmGmDm Now our tears fall like rain, as my Mother walks me to my train, Bbmaj7AmGmDm With a kiss and a wave - 'Come Home Weekends' that's if I can save. Dm I swear I'll take it out on the man - G/ADm/AA Who ever devised this economy plan.

DmDm(maj7) Good morning day and how do you do C#augDm7 I wonder what will you do for me? DmDm(maj7) I should be on my way, I should be earning pay, C#augDm7 I should be all the things that I'm not -
