1. US punk band:… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band or artist named Madcap.
1. US punk band: Home is where the heart is, and for Madcap, that isn't a house, an apartment or even their tour van - it is in the meaning they derive from writing and recording music, as well in listening to the artists they love. Honesty, passion, faith and persistence are the cornerstones of Madcap's philosophy, and they show an amazing ability to instill those beliefs in songs about love, rebellion, and personal struggle. Madcap began playing punk rock in the style of their idols in bands like The Jam, Buzzcocks and the Clash, but as they have grown, they began incorporating ideas drawn from studying the music of rock artists like Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and U2.
2. Madcap (UK) – Drum&Bass, Jungle DJ / Producer / Remixer
Madcap (Elliot Payne) started DJing in the early 90's. Son of a Rock N' Roll Musician Father & Piano teaching Mother, he was exposed to music from a very young age. Being so young was a stumbling block at first, but this changed in the summer of '95 when securing a job at local record shop Buzz Records, High Wycombe. This was associated with DJ Pulse and the influential Creative Wax label. Meeting with punters and promoters alike, Madcap soon found himself being booked up & down the UK for sets, including the infamous Sanctuary in Milton Keynes.

Madcap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He screams of a day of poets where the streets are ours not theirs
He screams piss on everything
My leather jacket is zipped up and ready
The boots on my feet, they keep me steady
I want to join the gang and sing
(WE WANT THE STREETS)
Old men say, they say son it's going to be hard to get older
Give it time and you will see
Well now that time has come and gone
I may be young but I know nothing, nothing really matters
Except what's in your heart
No good, no bad, no wrong, no right
BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY
(WE WANT THE STREETS)
Meet us on the street underneath bright lights in the city
There we'll find our hearts, our souls, our dreams
Meet us on the street underneath bright lights big city
Nothing holds us back when we believe our hearts the size of buildings
BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY
(WE WANT THE STREETS)
The lyrics to Madcap's song "Bright Lights Big City" are a call to rebellion against societal norms and expectations. The first stanza speaks of an old man's desire to reclaim the streets and to embrace the freedom that comes with it. The line "He screams piss on everything" is a powerful statement of defiance against the rules and regulations that govern society. The singer of the song then describes his own readiness to join the rebellion with his "leather jacket zipped up" and his "boots on [his] feet". He wants to "join the gang" and "sing".
The second stanza speaks of the passing of time and how it affects one's perspective on life. The old men in the singer's life warn him about the difficulties of getting older, but he disregards their advice. The singer believes that only the things in one's heart truly matter and that there is no objective morality or right and wrong. The singer then repeats the chorus, calling for others to join him "underneath the bright lights" in order to find their hearts, souls, and dreams.

BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY
This is a reference to the large illuminated city, representing hope and opportunity
(WE WANT THE STREETS)
We desire to have ownership and control over the streets
Old men say, they say son it's going to be hard to get older
Elderly individuals have warned me that aging will be difficult
Give it time and you will see
Time will show me the reality of the situation
Well now that time has come and gone
Now that time has passed, it has become apparent
I may be young but I know nothing, nothing really matters
Although I am young, I am aware that nothing truly holds significance
Except what's in your heart
The only thing of importance is what you personally feel inside
No good, no bad, no wrong, no right
There are no real moral absolutes, everything is subjective
Meet us on the street underneath bright lights in the city
Come join us on the streets lit up by the bright city lights
There we'll find our hearts, our souls, our dreams
We will discover our true passions, emotions, and aspirations
Nothing holds us back when we believe our hearts the size of buildings
When we have unwavering faith in ourselves, nothing can limit us
