Glemmer nemt hvor store The Jam var i England i slut-70’erne\/start-80’erne’s England. Sammen med The Clash var de det band som alle andre h\u00e5befulde fra den nye b\u00f8lge skulle m\u00e5le sig med – ialfald hvad succes angik – og hver eneste pladeudgivelse blev d\u00e6kket af musikpressen som var det en national begivenhed. For mig at se toppede The Jam kunstnerisk p\u00e5 Setting Sons<\/em> (1979) men ogs\u00e5 efterf\u00f8lgeren Sound Affects<\/em> (1980) er en meget vellykket og helst\u00f8bt plade, der ogs\u00e5 p\u00e5 n\u00e6rmest The Kinks-agtig facon dykker ned og tegner billeder af Thatcher-England’s armod, forfald og disillusion. ‘That’s Entertainment’ var albummets 2. single (efter ‘Start’), en enkel sang med de tr\u00f8stesl\u00f8se, socialrealistiske ord, Paul Weller nedf\u00e6ldede en sen nat, da kommet hjem fra en bytur.<\/p>\n

THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A police car and a screaming siren<\/strong><\/em>
\n Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete<\/strong><\/em>
\n A baby wailing, a stray dog howling<\/strong><\/em>
\n The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s entertainment, that\u2019s entertainment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots<\/strong><\/em>
\n An electric train and a ripped up phone booth<\/strong><\/em>
\n Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tom cat<\/strong><\/em>
\n Lights going out and a kick in the balls<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I say that\u2019s entertainment, that\u2019s entertainment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Days of speed and slow time Mondays<\/strong><\/em>
\n Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday<\/strong><\/em>
\n Watching the news and not eating your tea<\/strong><\/em>
\n A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I say that\u2019s entertainment, that\u2019s entertainment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning<\/strong><\/em>
\n Opening the windows and breathing in petrol<\/strong><\/em>
\n An amateur band rehearse in a nearby yard<\/strong><\/em>
\n Watching the telly and thinking ’bout your holidays<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s entertainment, that\u2019s entertainment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes<\/strong><\/em>
\n Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume<\/strong><\/em>
\n A hot summers day and sticky black tarmac<\/strong><\/em>
\n Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s entertainment, that\u2019s entertainment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight<\/strong><\/em>
\n Two lovers missing the tranquillity of solitude<\/strong><\/em>
\n Getting a cab and travelling on buses<\/strong><\/em>
\n Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I say that\u2019s entertainment, that\u2019s entertainment<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
