The Jam Lyrics
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 More...

Review about The Jam songs
Hard life | Reviewer: Heaven
------ About the song THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT performed by The Jamthese lyrics to me say it all about parts of the north (which I call the outback or the northern territiories, being vast and outlying. If you live here for any length of time you will get sucked in, UNLESS you see all this as entertainment, because this is no way to live but the fact is that it is a way of life! - when I hear another story I just say 'That's Entertainment' and wonder at it all ... bang on anthem Paul - you are a master voyeur/composer
Spot on | Reviewer: Moorad Choudhry
------ About the song WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG performed by The JamA genius lyric about the optimism of youth and how the reality of life drains away at it. Great tune as well, and yes fantastic bass line from Mr Foxton. The quintessential song "about the young idea", as Mr Weller sang on an earlier Jam track, and the cynicism of life today is such that young bands dont even talk like this any more. They're all into the "corporations" ethic by the time of their first demo tape...
Great track from one of England's finest ever bands, God bless 'em
Fabulous | Reviewer: The Jammer
------ About the song THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT performed by The JamWritten by a true Jam fan who wrote a poem and sent it to Paul Weller, Weller then rearranged it. And to the guy above, couldn't agree more, I'm 17 and my Dad did the same thing, I can't get enough of them.
a weller masterpiece,oh yes. | Reviewer: trev emo
------ About the song DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT performed by The JamAs a teenager in the early eighties the jam were just amazing,cool,sharp,and to the point.weller never did shirk any political agenda.punk came and went but the jam just went onwards and upwards,alas they sadly called it aday in 82,now almost 30 years on there music still rings a chord in me.thanks paul,bruce & rick,you helped me through those tough teenage years with unbelieveable tracks like tubestation amongst others,and you still do it for me today! how about a 30 year reunion next year? keeping my fingers crossed.
hi | Reviewer: holbol
------ About the song THE ETON RIFLES performed by The Jami love this song and my brothers are in a band and they play it i noticed that you got the lyrics wrong on one chrous it goes
hello huurah- WHAT A NICE DAY FOR THE ETON RIFLES
hello hurrah-theres a price to py for the eton rifles
but other than that good lyrics
Part of my life | Reviewer: jam_fan
------ About the song DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT performed by The JamWhen ever I hear this song I am getting reminded of the smell of hairspray, taste of cigarettes, dr marten's boots, Fred Perry, Harrington Jackets and especially the times we spent in London and Brighton in the eighties.
Further more music from the Jam helped me to survive during the time when I met my first big LOVE but finally got broken.
That's life :-) Thank you England!! You made my boyhood a good one! I will be there on ISLE OF WIGHT this year and try to catch the spirit of that time again....

What an amazing bass line! | Reviewer: Chris
------ About the song PRIVATE HELL performed by The JamWell, what can I say about this gem on Setting Sons? Musically, Foxton totally drives this track. The bass is unbelievable. One of his best! As for the lyrics, Weller really hits a chord here with the stereotypical British family. Kids have left home, the relationship has gone down the pan, age and the simple task of sustaining one's existance begin to take over. Dreams are forgotten and complacency sets it. You begin to crack up inside and feel like you can't carry on, but instead you pick up the pieces and quietly carry on. British stiff upper lip or what!
lyric check | Reviewer: Sean
------ About the song TOWN CALLED MALICE performed by The JamThink there's a glaring lyric f*** up here,
Second verse first line
Should read:
' rows and rows of disused milk-floats stand dying in the dairy yard'
which when you check the next lines makes a lot more sense.
Ok If you aren't from UK,
The 'Milkman' is sometimes used as a euphemism for a bit of a secret visitor to the household while the husband's at work.
If a baby doesn't look much like the father it could be attributed to the milkman,,, ok?
So the disappearance of the milkman and the following line ...
'Hanging out her old love letters on the line to dry'
shows a gentle decay in the ways of life of small town living, where little fantasies/details etc are gone forever.
Must admit dont normally play mr pedantic, but if you gonna post classic lyrics, ermmm... get em right or don't bother!
Wrong Lyric | Reviewer: Smithers Jones
------ About the song GOING UNDERGROUND performed by The JamIn reply to the comment from Paul 'the line "You'll see kidney machine replaced by rockets and guns" would surely make more sense as "killing machines"?'
It is definately Kidney Machines, the line is giving a choice of what public money is spent on, i.e. hospitals or guns!!
However there is an error in the line 'As their lies put you down and their promises bust' it should be 'As their lies wash you down and their promises rust'. Or at least that's how I have always sung a long to it for the last 30 years or so!!!
are these words copied? they seem wrong! | Reviewer: paul
------ About the song GOING UNDERGROUND performed by The JamI think all the lyrics sites copy their words off each other, when one gets it wrong, they all do. Im not saying these lyrics are wrong, but the line "You'll see kidney machine replaced by rockets and guns" would surely make more sense as "killing machines"? When you listen to it I think it sounds more like killing, but maybe its because im from near Paul Weller, perhaps people from America wrote these lyrics?
