Re Big Country - Stuart Adamson died a few years ago (think it was suicide). Shame, he was a good musician (anyone remember The Skids - great band?).

p.s. does everyone know what the questions are about in the first verse, and the legend behind those questions? If not I'll post what I know.-TC

Too Much Too young was the Specials.
Surprised nobody has said The green green grass of home or whatever it's called, by Tom Jones!
Heard London's Calling by the Clash the other day & that reminded me of the Uk

Just asked hubby about too much too young. He thinks it was the Specials first then when Terry Hall and the others split and formed FB3 they did a version too. Not sure - but deffo not Madness.
