| Oh my god. The Jam were one of the greatest bands ever and no one has commented on this song at all and its only been viewed 22 times. This is such an excellent song from one of the best movies in the world: Billy Elliot | |

| Good on ya Harley-01. What you've gotta ask your mates is will the hip-hop they like still be around in 25/30 years time? I doubt it! Also it has no relevance to life in the U.K., Wellers music does! | |

| I'm uncomfortable ranking the Jam's songs since so many were classic, but of all the great Jam and Weller songs --- and I'm on of those North Americans who tried to get every one, became frustrated they never really made it here, and rank the Jam as one of the best bands of all time --- this one has to be considered the best because it not only shows off the whole range of Weller's genius as well as that of Foxton and Buckler but because it's just so *essentially* them and sums them up beautifully in just 2:55. Weller may have gone on to great things and dissolving the band may have been right, but they're timeless and beyond comparison. Anyway, this song may be about as British as you can get, but it's also universal. Get the idea I liked 'em? | |

| And stop apologising for the things you've never done 'cos time is short and life is cruel, but it's up to us to change ---> just listen to that line. It says it all. | |

| This song is about the jams hometown, woking. They wrote the song about woking, this town is the town of malice. | |

| this song is amazing! the bass-line makes me want to dance(even though i cant)! Nothing better than hearing, "And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts". | |
