News of the World
The Jam Lyrics
Pop, pop (pop, pop, pop, pop)
Power, pop (power, power, pop, pop)
Read about the things that happen throughout the world
Don't be believe in everything you see or hear
The neighbors talk day in day out about the goings on
They tell us what they want, they don't give an inch
Look at the pictures taken by the cameras they cannot lie
The truth is in what you see, not what you read
Remember their views are not the gospel truth
Don't believe it all
Find out for yourself
Check before you spread
News of the world
Never doubt
Never ask
Never moan
Never search
Never find
Never know
News of the world
News of the world
Each morning our key to the world comes through the door
More than often it's just a comic, not much more
Don't take it too serious, not many do
Read between the lines and you'll find the truth
Read all about it, read all about it
News of the world, news of the world
Read all about it, read all about it
News of the world, news of the world

The band drew upon a variety of stylistic influences over the course of their career, including 1960s beat music, soul, rhythm and blues and psychedelic rock, as well as 1970s punk and new wave. The trio was known for its melodic pop songs, its distinctly English flavour and its mod image. The band launched the career of Paul Weller, who went on to form The Style Council and later had a successful solo career. Weller wrote and sang most of The Jam’s original compositions, and he played lead guitar, using a Rickenbacker. Bruce Foxton provided backing vocals and prominent basslines, which were the foundation of many of the band’s songs, including the hits "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight", "The Eton Rifles", "Going Underground" and "Town Called Malice".

I think the jam were one of the few genuine mod bands I say this because pete townshend said the who wasn't mod but they were adopted by the mods, I think you can say the same about the small faces and the kinks

The Jam were a lot of things....mod...punky...r&b...new wave....the lot.
Took it all....gelled it all and produced....the best band! Soulful.
