STB The Songs

The Songs
"Sorry... We Don't Do Requests!"

Well not on the night anyway. But please E-mail us with any requests for songs you think we should play at future gigs.

Over the past 11 years, the band have built up quite a portfolio of covers they have performed with a couple of original numbers too!!
Since learning any song is a major achievement for the band, you should be extremely grateful for the band's dedication and effort!

This list also contains links to some of the band's/artist's homepages.

Original Artist/ Version Covered (+Hyperlinks!)	*Song Title*	In The Set-List Today?	*Beryllium's Comments*
B-52s	Rock Lobster	No
Billy Idol	Rebel Yell	Yes	Rebel Yell is definitely one of the band's and crowd's best song! This song really motors along and really gets the crowd going. We started with White Wedding many years ago (another great song) and later learnt Rebel Yell.
Billy Idol	White Wedding	Yes
Blink 182	All The Small Things	Yes	Or as the band call it: 'Watch my weight gain'
Blink 182	What's My Age Again	Yes	Or as the band call it: 'Watch my weight gain'
Blondie	Maria	Yes	I bet you can't spot the lyric changes! There's more one lyric changed by the way! Don't point them out to your mother though.
Blues Brothers	Everybody	Yes	The Blues Brothers songs have been in the set-list since the early days, back when the singers used to dress-up in the jackets, hats & Ray-Bans... The 'good ol' days'! Everybody has always been a favourite of the crowds. And we always get then to sit on the floor! How we do it, nobody knows! See our theories here. Rawhide: DUCK! Incoming bottles! We don't have the luxury of chicken wire, but luckily, the glasses are plastic! More subtle lyric changes here.
	Gimme Some Lovin'	No
	Rawhide	Yes
Champs	Tequila	No	One of the easier songs for the singer to learn the words to! There's only three... and they're all the same word! This was always played in the interlude before Jon (The Leader!) came on stage for the Glitter Nos.
Clash	Should I Stay Or Should I Go	No	One from the early days of STB. On the original set list I think.
David Bowie	Suffragette City
Department S	Is Vic There?	Yes
Dodgy	Staying Out For The Summer	No
Dr. Feelgood	Milk And Alcohol	No
Eddie Cochran, The Sex Pistols (Sid Vicious) style	Something Else	No
Elvis Costello	Mystery Dance	No	Del's most favourite artist of all time!
Equals	Baby Come Back	No	Brilliant song! Punked up a bit from the original version. Used to open up our set really well.
Garry Glitter	I'm The Leader Of The Gang	Rare	This is where Jon is in his element!!! After all, he IS the LEADER!!! All the songs were on the original set list! Don't forget... We love him for the brilliant songs!!! The best entrance was at Sandhurst (outside gig), where Jon (aka The Leader!) came racing across the fields on the back of a motor-cross bike carrying flares, hurtled through the crowd narrowly missing lots of people! He is The Leader!!!
	I love You Love Me Love	Rare
	Another Rock & Roll Christmas	No
	Rock & Roll	Yes
Generation X	King Rocker	No	This was a tricky one to sing for Jon! good song though.
Gin Blossom	Hey Jealousy
Graham Parker And The Rumour	Hold Back The Night	No	"Hold back the curtains..."
Green Day	Basket Case	Yes	Our favourite second set opener! Phil sings this one. Always guaranteed to get the crowd bouncing off the ceiling!!! It also includes the infamous Bass Guitar De-Tune!!!
Gun	Word Up	No
Housemartins	Happy Hour	Yes	Phil sings Happy Hour. Jon sings We're Not Deep.
Housemartins	We're Not Deep	Yes	Phil sings Happy Hour. Jon sings We're Not Deep.
Jags	(I've Got Your Number) Back Of My Hand	Yes	An old favourite. Phil sings this one.
Jam	Down By The Tube Station At Midnight	No	Kinda difficult to play without keyboards these Jam numbers. So when Squit left us, we had to drop them.
	Strange Town	No
	Town Called Malice	No
Jo Jackson	I'm A Man	No
Jo Jackson	Got The Time	No
Jock & The Bag-pipers	Scotland The Brave	No	This was just a crazy idea that used to wreck the place! We used to play it at the end of the gig and we played it as fast as we could! The crowd used to go off like a spastic on fire! They loved it!!!
Jonathan Richman	Egyptian Reggae	No	Another Interlude instrumental we used to play before Glitter.
Julian Cope	World Shut Your Mouth	No
Katrina And The Waves	Walking On Sunshine	Yes	This has become our trademark encore song and the crowd go spastic for it. We start the song quite tamely with the volume turned down until the end of the first chorus and then Neill comes down a few chords and it gets a good punking up! At this point the crowd go wild. Due to the high-pitched whaaahhoooos required in the chorus, we usually leave these to the crowd or sometimes drag some tottie up on stage to help!!! (Note: I hassled the band for years to play this one!!!) A great song, well done Katrina!
Kingmaker	Ten Years Asleep	No	A one hit wonder. Not a bad song. Phil used to sing this one.
Kim Wilde	Chequered Love	Yes
Simon & Garfunkle (Lemonheads version)	Mrs Robinson	No	This punked-up version of the original is a pukka song.
Madness	Madness	Yes	The Madness medley is a favourite with the crowd. Usually the dance floor seems to fill instantly when 'MADNESS!' is shouted and the crazy dancing starts.
Madness	Night Boat To Cairo	Yes
Malcolm Baldock	Too Early	Yes	Malc's song written many years ago. As Del will remind us every time, it's about school girls finding out about sex too early.
Martha And The Muffins	Echo Beach	Yes
Original Mirrors	Boys Cry	Yes
Primitives	Crash	Yes	Jon always, very thoughtfully, dedicates this one to all the women at the gig. This is the song from Dumb and Dumber... Na na na na na na na na naaaa...
Proclaimers	500 Miles	No	We just weren't ginger enough to keep playing it!
Queen	Crazy Little Thing Called Love	Yes	The Queen medley has been in the set lists for a very long time. With lots of Wembley-style reverb, We Will Rock You is a classic. We always try and get everyone going with a bit of crowd participation in the form of clapping and hopefully, singing! Sometimes Del's plea of 'your turn...' is met with an uncomfortable silence! But it was the saviour at the Heathfield school gig with almost all the kids on stage with us! We Will Rock You always ends by blending wonderfully, straight into Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Crazy then bounces along with almost everyone singing along to the great song.
Queen	We Will Rock You	Yes
Rich Kids	Rich Kids	No
Righteous Brothers	You've Lost That Loving Feeling	No	A tough one to do without singing it flat. As proved just a couple of times!!! This was one of the early songs and it was dropped years ago!!!
Romantics	What I Like About You
Ronettes	Be My Baby	No
Ruts	Babylon's Burning	Yes
Ruts	Jah War	No
Secret Affair	Time For Action	No
Shot To Bits	No Not With You	No	Yes, these are songs that we've written!!!
	Thank You	No
	The Jazz Club Number	No
	What Do You Want	Yes
Slade	Coz I Love You	No	Excellent song. But needed someone on a violin... which Squit used to do on his keyboard. So we had to drop it.
Soft Cell	Tainted Love	Yes	Pint of 'gizz' please landlord. Our version gets punked up half way through.
Squeeze	Is That Love	No
Sum 41	Fat Lip	Yes	See Del's Lips!
Sum 41	In To Deep	Yes	Dedicated to all the girls by Jon.
Supergrass	Richard the 3rd	No
Terence Trent-D'Arby	She Kissed Me	No
Thin Lizzy	Dancing In The Moon Light	No
Tom Jones	Delilah	Yes	It's the crowd's turn on this one. Normally some poor suckers are dragged up on stage to sing along! You should hear it in the headphones at the mixing desk!!! Some of the singers are quite good... But most are bloody awful!!! And I'm afraid that the worst that I have ever witnessed in the headphones has to be a certain Mr. Wates, father of a drummer by the same name!!! (Sorry Chris!)
Vapours	Turning Japanese	Yes	Probably one of our trademark song. The song about w**king (not a lot of people know that!). The crowd love it every time.
Semisonic	Closing Time	No	Lovely song. Would have been great as a final encore song to calm down the masses, but it never made it there.
