The Jam foi uma banda de rock britânica formada em 1976 por Bruce Foxton (baixo), Steve Brookes (guitarra), Rick Buckler (bateria) e Paul Weller (vocais).
Logo no início Brookes saiu da banda, que começou a se apresentar nos arredores de Londres. Em 1977 o Jam assinou um contrato com a Polydor Records e lançou seu primeiro compacto, "In The City", seguido por um álbum homônimo, que misturava influências mod e punk com as composições de Weller e versões de clássicos do R&B.

BbF Letting loose the lunatics - BbF Wasn't the greatest of ideas. CF Giving them plans and money to squander - EbDmF Should have been the worst of our fears.
BbF And the dream life, luxury living BbF Was a pleasant number ten whim, CF But somewhere down the lines of prduction, EbDmBb They left out human needs.
A They were gonna build communities - DmCA It was going to be pie in the sky - CmF But the piss stench hallways and broken down lifts say, EbDmBb The planners dream went wrong.

A If people were meant to live in boxes - DmCA God would have given them string - CmF To tie around themselves at bed time - EbDmBb And stop their dreams falling through the ceiling.
BbF And the public schoolboy computers - BbF Keep spewing out our future - BbF The house in the country designs the 14th floor. BbF Old Mrs. Smith don't get out much more. BbF Coitus interruptus 'cos of next doors rows. BbF And your washing gets nicked when the lights go out. CF Baby's scream in their nightmare throng - EbDmEbDmBb But the planners just get embarrased when their plans go wrong. EbDmEbDmBb Ah, the planners get embarrased when their plans go wrong. EbDmEbDmBb Ah, the planners get embarrased when their plans go wrong.
