Lyrics:
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum, she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house (Something tells you)
(That you've got to move away from it) In the middle of our
Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
I remember way back then
When everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time, such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play
Simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us
Two dreamers
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Second to that. Only now I'm appreciating those details. Its genius 👏 🙌

[@Bikewithlove]

Mozart would have been impressed. There’s not a wasted note or beat or word in it, and the real icing on the cake is that it’s about home - nostalgia for a less than perfect upbringing that you miss in hindsight as life gets more complicated. It’s about being lucky to have had a working class childhood - appreciating it for better or worse.

From the BBC in 2003: "The world record for putting a golf ball is held by Suggs. In the time it took his putt to go from one end of the plane [Concorde] to the other, the plane had travelled five miles." All sorts of records held by this band lol.

This song was popular when I was in high school (1984-1987) in the USA and I loved the mix of zaniness and genuine sentiment. Every generation seems somewhat crazy to the one that came before it, but somehow with age, one realizes just how great our parents' generation was, too.

[@kickinghorse2405]

Same here. I remember thinking these guys were just so cool and quirky fun. Still do really. Good times.

My dad was in high school around the same time and loved Madness. I remember learning this song pretty early on as a kid and loving it. A few years back, we went on a Europe trip and struck up a conversation with a jewelry seller about his age in Camden about music. He pointed us towards the pub Madness got their start in and we shared a pint there. Great memory with my dad

Not English or someone English who wants to be ...other... and is apologising?

My friend's brother spent 4 months in ICU with Covid and is home and recovering. His treatment didn't cost him anything because, in England, the land of Sunday roasts; scones and Madness, we look after each other. As for the rest...why bother commenting...just rude and ridiculous.
