    Just re-watched Billy Elliot and the dance montage with Town Called Malice. Forgot how great this song is and what a great piece of film making that sequence is. The anger and frustration of Billy expressed through dance while listening to the biting lyrics with subtly upbeat music and rhythm of the Jam. That's a lot to get right in one 3 minute section of film and they nailed it.

    Absolutely brilliant song. Ironically, it is joyous in sound but lyrically quite dark. Definitely one of the best songs of all time IMHO. Paul Weller is amazingly talented: not only is the Jam stupendous, his solo work and that on the Style Council are amazing, too.

      Complete rubbish, he never wrote a better song than when he was with the Jam. Most of their songs melody was in the rhythm of Foxtons bass and Bucklers drums...listen to all the Jam music, Paul is mostly the songwriter, however the mood of the song is from the rhythm. So sad he chose to be a dick, the Jam could have been there with the greats....instead Style Council was just a watered down heap of sh1t...allegedly because Wellers old man, who managed the Jam, decided Paul was too talented for the others....what a prick!

    Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, 'cause it's the one we'll never know
    And quit running for the runaway bus 'cause those rosy days are few
    And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
    'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change
    This town called malice
    Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard
    And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
    Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
    It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
    In a town called malice, yeah

    The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead
    In a town called malice, ooh yeah
    A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
    Gets dashed against the Co-op
    To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear
    It's a big decision in a town called malice, ooh yeah
    The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track
    It's at the moment bound for nowhere
    Just going round and round, oh
    Playground kids and creaking swings
    Lost laughter in the breeze
    I could go on for hours and I probably will
    But I'd sooner put some joy back

    It’s amazing that songs from the past are much more relevant than songs of today. I was turned on to the mod style in high school in the late seventies in Pasadena, California. We got vespas, trench coats, and started ska dancing at Marilyn’s Backstreet in Pasadena, the Seven Seas in Hollywood, and the 321 club in Santa Monica. Those were fun times that I wish I could revisit.

      I couldn't imagine Mods in the sunny California wearing m51 fishtail parkas and mounted on Vespas and Lambrettas, but I'm pretty sure you had good times. I still keep the Vespa and also the Parka. Greetings from Spain

      Don't forget the Crash Bar on Saturday Nights in Hollywood and going to Poseurs to get gear.

    Lyrically speaking….this song is strong because of its substantial depth. Well done mates.
