LYRICS

On some scaffolding fives floors up
hangs a man with a plastic bag
His paisley pajamas is blowing in the wind
Like a psychedelic flag
And he says it comes the money see
Floats through the air invisibly
And now I’m going to get some for free
One way or another

And a mother cries
Looking in her baby’s eyes
For no reason at all
In pale sunshine
Bright blue sky
Feeling blue but don’t know why
For no reason at all

Someone shouts out call out the fire brigade
And a huge crowd gathers round
He just stares at the blue sky above
And says I’m not coming down
And he says here comes the money see
Floats through the air invisibly
And I am going to get some for free
One way or another

And a mother cries
Looking in her baby’s eyes
For no reason at all
Pale sunshine bright blue sky
Feeling blue but don’t know why
For no reason at all

EDITORS REVIEW

Let’s dive into the brilliance of ‘No Reason’. This track is a shining gem among Madness's repertoire, radiating with the powerful, evocative lyrics that have become a hallmark of Suggs’s songwriting genius. It doesn't just hold its own; it eclipses all the other bonus tracks on the Expanded edition, effortlessly earning a spot among the classics of ‘Keep Moving’ or ‘Rise and Fall’.

The beauty of ‘No Reason’ lies in its elegant simplicity. The uncomplicated chord structure is the perfect canvas for the captivating melody, and those quintessential saxophone moments add that magical touch. It's a track that resonates deeply, a hit in every sense of the word. Listening to it, one can't help but yearn for the golden days when the release of a single was a monumental event, a time when every note and lyric felt like a shared cultural experience. This track isn't just music; it's a heartfelt reminder of the timeless essence of Madness.

TRACK RATING: 9/10
