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.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
ABmABm May I walk you home tonight AC#mF#m On this fine and lovely night tonight? E7Bm We'll walk past the luscious houses; C#mB7 The rolling lawns and lovely flowers. ABmABm Our nice new town where the curtains are drawn, AB7 Where hope is started and dreams can be borne.
ABmABm Let us share our insanity AC#mF#m Go mad together in community. E7Bm Boys on the corner looking for their supper; C#mB7 Boys on the green looking for some slaughter. ABmABm We used to chase dreams, now we chase the dragon. AB7 Mine is the semi with the Union Jack on.
Dmaj7C#m7F#m7 In this paradise lost, we'll be finding our sanity. Am7E7 In our paradise found, we'll be losing our way, C#m For a brave new day.

ABmABm May I slash my wrists tonight AC#mF#m On this fine conservative night, tonight? E7Bm I was looking for a job, so I came to town. C#mB7 I easily adapt when the chips are down. ABmABm I read the ad about the private schemes. AB7 I liked the idea; but now I'm not so Keyne.
