I did like the drum beat again simple snare drum. The vocals are spoken in the format of an answering machine. The voice is similar to a robot speaking in fits and starts which is rather irritating. The voice machine talks about racism, amnesia, nostalgia and history. The end is a repeated lyric "scream whenver you hear this tone" with an unanswered ring of a telephone which eventually fades away. It was a big thing; it was a chart record and it basically set up our career. When we were making it, we didn’t think we’d get the chance to make another record as we’d been turned down by everyone but Rough Trade very kindly said they would do it and I really thought it was just going to be something that the four of us could keep and play to our grandchildren to show what we did when we were young.

I wouldn’t necessarily be able to go and find a park on my own and walk about for hours so the song was basically written as a coping mechanism for me but if it can help other people then I’m only too happy about that.Filename H:\My Rips\Stiff Little Fingers\Stiff Little Fingers - Original Album Series (2014) [FLAC] {5CD Parlophone 2564636166}\CD4\09 - Silver Lining.wav In all of the squalor of war and hate a little bit of love at the centre of conflict will relieve the stress for young love. Love in despair is the remedy in this rare love song. Probably their most poppier song as the sandpaper vocals are rested in most of barbed wire love. Vocal barber shop harmonies are prominent in the chorus of the song. A nice use of the drums especally the snare with the added resonance which compliments the structure of the recording. There is a nice clapping ingredient in this love song that adds to the catchyness of this harshless melody. I have to put myself in the shoes of a fan and the only way I can do that is to think of Newcastle United, not that we’re in as big a mess as they are by any stretch! I sit there watching them, thinking “they won’t buy anyone in this transfer window and Rafa Benitez is going to leave”. Why? It doesn’t really make any difference to me, I’ve still got to get up in the morning and pay my mortgage at the end of the month, it shouldn’t really matter. But it does and that’s the way you have to look at things to do with the band, it really matters to people.

Joe certainly was an inspiration but the other huge inspiration in my life around that time was Gordon Ogilvie. He encouraged us to write more and more about our own lives and having that sort of validation from someone who wanted to write with me made a huge difference. Gordon gave me the finished lyric of Suspect Device on the second day I met him and said “do you think you can do something with this?” I’ve said before it was like a ‘60’s Sci Fi shows where the rest of the room disappears and all I could see was that piece of paper and I knew exactly what I could do with it. It needed trimming as it was something like 16 verses long. I don’t think Gordon had grasped the idea of the 3-minute punk song at that stage. So we put Suspect Device together and I’d written Wasted Life around the same time so it was lift off for us. In 1987, Burns reformed the band with McMordie, Cluney and Taylor. When McMordie left in 1990, he was replaced on bass by Bruce Foxton, previously of The Jam, though McMordie rejoined in 2006. The current incarnation of SLF, which still tours, includes Burns, bassist Ali McMordie, guitarist Ian McCallum and drummer Steve Grantley. The best album credited to Stiff Little Fingers is Inflammable Material which is ranked number 1,944 in the overall greatest album chart with a total rank score of 860.This version of the band recorded their first LP "Inflammable Material" which included their signature songs about life in Belfast "Alternative Ulster", "Suspect Device" and "Wasted Life" as well as a musically bold reworking of Bob Marley's "Johnny Was".

[1] The band had signed a contract with Island Records, but it fell through, leaving the group to release the album on Rough Trade, their existing label. [2] Despite the album's independent release, it reached number 14 in the UK Albums Chart and reached Silver status, selling over 100,000 copies. [2] Inflammable Material was the first album distributed by Rough Trade Records, and the first independent album to chart in the UK. a b c d e f g h i j k Colin Larkin, ed. (1997).

The result of all that was I spent the next 75 minutes watching the monitors and dreading them breaking down again. People actually said to me that when we first came on we all looked really focused and determined. I had to tell them that it wasn’t determination, it was worry as we were all terrified of it going wrong again. It took away all the stage nerves as we were just worried about the equipment and it probably gave our playing an edge I imagine. We rattled through the whole set in 60 minutes which left perfect time for encores. I think probably the Now Then period. The band were pulling in four different directions, Punk had run its course as far as the public were concerned and so our audience was dwindling so that made any strife within the band become major. The whole New Romantic thing had happened and even 2 Tone was passé at that stage. We were on the same label as Spandau and they were doing really well as it was all about big production and lavish videos as opposed to the nitty gritty that Punk and 2 Tone brought to the table.
