The Jam were certainly one of the very best bands to come out of the entire U.K. punk/New Wave explosion--perhaps better than the Clash and the Sex Pistols combined. It's often been argued that they were much too British to make it in America, and, for once, such an argument might actually be correct. Starting out as a full-on punk unit (with '60s British mod affectations), the power trio--fronted by Paul Weller, and also featuring Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler--continued to evolve throughout their all-too brief career. And by the third LP, Weller's romantic pessimism about England (and the world) merged with a newfound melodic sense, creating songs nearly as good as the ones his idols, Ray Davies and Pete Townshend, were serving a decade before. The band neve More... (Submit New The Jam Lyrics) (Submit New The Jam Lyrics) Review about The Jam punk and mod in one ;) | Reviewer: T@m ------ About the song IN THE CITY performed by The Jam I think "young idea" is a new music, it's all type punk music, but this song is special. This song tell about punk (mod revival) music, not punk (anarchopunk)/Sex Pistols/, not punk (rock'n'roll revival) /Ramones/, not punk (punkrock) /The Clash/, not punk like Damned, but this is about punk rock (mod revival) The Jam:)))) "In the city there's a thousand men in uniforms" "Young idea" is punk rock, but in style mod (rock) revival .... like The Jam is punk The Kinks or punk The Who.... Perfect song and perfect lyrics. Thx;) ... could of been! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song BUT I'M DIFFERENT NOW performed by The Jam This song hangs about on many a jam album in various forms of its evolution, I've always felt it was never fully realized into the song it could of been. All the 'la l'la la yea, hey' bits should of been scrubbed and the song polished into the likes of 'Private Hell' and 'underground' - the earlier the version of this track the better. Check out Foxton's Beatle-esque bass during the intro. Still a fine song to learn the guitar to. RAK. Thick as... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song THICK AS THIEVES performed by The Jam One of the remnants of the Jam's back catalog Weller still wheels out to this day in his live set. This song is a 'Live' song and doesn't work as a studio piece - the best version being on the album 'Live Jam' where the guitar solo is actually realized (and Loud). And you gotta love that Woking accent 'We're na longa is fick is feevs' a great Jam song | Reviewer: CS ------ About the song THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT performed by The Jam tells a story with a great quiet rocking presence. Loved this song as a lad when I discovered the Jam in 80-81. Have introduced my 6 and 4 yr old to it and it puts a smile on my face to see another generation enjoying the song stylings of Mr. Weller. Brilliant | Reviewer: Chris Lomas ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam You say "When i first heard it ages ago". Im 18 years old, and hence wasnt around for the Jam. But my musical taste lies 100% in that era. And although i can never have been there to relate to what Weller was writing about at the time. I can appreciate what it means, and how he develops a story in his music. THe Jam have been a small fascination with me for about 2 years. And i would say this is my favourite ballad. bitterest pill | Reviewer: christine ------ About the song THE BITTEREST PILL performed by The Jam I wll never forgrt hearing this song for the first time... My friend Fran and I met Paul Weller after winning the tower records poster contest, Her and I followed them to the huntington hotel in pasadena. we joined them at the bar for cokes and told them our favorite songs... I thanked paul for introducing me to the great poet P B SHELLY. they were really nice to couple of goofy girls amazing! best song eva! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song NEWS OF THE WORLD performed by The Jam parent are extreme paul wellar fans! both were mods. now i'm addicted to songs by the jam! i know almost all of their songs! Ive been to see paul wellar four times! and i'm only 16! my friends hadn't a clue who the jam were til i introduced them! NEWS OF THE WORLD has to be one of the best songs ever to be made! He did it! | Reviewer: Maria ------ About the song TOWN CALLED MALICE performed by The Jam I just saw Mr. Weller on Sunday 14 September 2008 and he did "Towm Called Malice" for the final encore. I never thought I'd hear it - EVER - I lost my bird. Brilliant!!!!!! He made time for autographs and pictures. Could not have been kinder. I think I had a stroke... Test of time | Reviewer: Paul ------ About the song THE BITTEREST PILL performed by The Jam "It stands the test of time" is probably the most overused remark in music, however,it still applies to "The Bitterest Pill" I remember when I heard "pill" and felt like it applied to me, then right after that I heard the Jam would break up. This song still evokes emotion today. This was definitley a sign of Wellers growth and he did go on to make greater personal successes. Thanks Paul I appreciated your music Funk | Reviewer: Paul ------ About the song TOWN CALLED MALICE performed by The Jam You got to love the funk in this song, too many reviewers bring up that the bassline is similiar to "you can't hurry love" SO WHAT, tunes are tunes , the lyrics matter most and in this song the lyric applied in the 80's 90's 00's and will forever! Genius | Reviewer: haircut ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam My favourite Jam record although I like them all. The best band ever, Paul Weller can write lyrics in away that normal working class people from the UK can relate to. Unlike the gangster rap and r and b rubbish about today. Everyone in Britain can relate to 'a whole streets belief in Sundays roast beef' in Town called Malice. Songs Like Tube Station tell a story which you can visualise in your head and know exactly what is going on at anyone time like a 3 minute film. I love Down in the Tube Station at midnight but Ghosts just makes me feel the same everytime I hear it and just stops me in my tracks. As David Brent would say Genuis. fact!! This is a great song!! | Reviewer: Niamh ford ------ About the song THE ETON RIFLES performed by The Jam The eton rifles is so great! i put it on my ipod last week, and i listen to it all the time! paul weller is just so good at making songs up, i like nearly everyone of his songs!!!!!! Im only 9 too, when im older im gonna be a singer like paul weller, ive already made up my own songs all ready!! Oh...the memories of a brilliant era | Reviewer: Steve Martin ------ About the song DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT performed by The Jam This record still sends a shiver down my spine..I'm still a great music lover every now and then I put The Jam on to remind me of their raw energy, brilliant lyrics, how they gave and still do give me a major buzz.....into Indie bands now and The Enemy have a touch of The Jam in them but there will only ever be one "The Jam"...... pft | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam Who the hell cares about being a "true" fan, buying music certainly doesnt make you one. Of course it'd be cool if everyone went and bought the Jam's albums but that doesnt mean that you MUST do it to genuinely like / be moved by this song, or any other for that matter. Top tune, no matter where you heard it first, be it a tv show or whatever. True Fan | Reviewer: Eloise ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam Some of the reviews above are good (the one's by true fans), but others ones are just should be there, by hearing a song on a T.V show and then downloading it, does not make you a true fan and also downloading the song does not either cause all you are doing is taking money away from Paul Weller and the Jam, a true fan would have gone out and got the C.D, and how can you 'love' or think that by downloading it and 'knowing all the words' makes you a fan,i on the other hand have loved this song since the first time i heard it (years ago) and all of the other songs that Paul weller and The Jam have made over the years, and like real fans shall continue to listen to them buy their stuff. a classic | Reviewer: Dave Hughes ------ About the song TOWN CALLED MALICE performed by The Jam This track doesn't get the recognition it truly deserves. I'm not what you could call a Jam fan, but the lyrics on this track are absolutely timeless. Superb! An all time favourite and true classic | Reviewer: Helen ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam Ghost is so evocative, a beautiful, haunting song. (plesae forgive the pun.) It is one of my all time favourite, Jam songs - I cannot believe it isn't on the 'Best of' Album CD - I lost my copy of the album it is one, when my previous marriage broke up, and hearing the song again - on East Enders, has prompted me to buy a replacement. Thank you Paul Weller et al unity | Reviewer: Dean Hncock ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam from art school to this!! they could go from all out assault riffage to melodic thought provoking tenderness. Ghosts is a take me away from reality for 3 minits classic.from that first boom of bruces opening note to the slick horn playing.God, they were good! truly amaizing song | Reviewer: t ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam i herd this song whilst watchin eastenders wit my mum n gf. this is truly one ov the best songs i have ever herd, how can 1 man dream up lyrics like that, So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through But you keep it hidden just like everyone You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable So you wear that ghost around you for disguise pure quality one amaizing true song | Reviewer: t ------ About the song GHOSTS performed by The Jam i first heard this song on tv and the lyrics hit me like a tone ov bricks, i listen to this song everyday to remind me ov a person i once turbef into, i want peeps to remember me wen they hear his song You could review the artist/band The Jam in Biography page You could review The Jam album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review The Jam song by clicking the song which you like  Download "The Jam" Music | |
