‘Lovestruck’ video now in 4K HD.

A UK Top Ten hit from 1999 for British band Madness.

Lyrics

Staggering home the headlights throw a shadow up and upon
Friends and loved ones that have done no wrong
But no longer mean anything to me
Mumbling on into a crystal glass that echoes a song
The enticement invites you along
A path of exterior colour

But came the morning shivering and contorting
To border on the brink for just another sink
Oh take me down for one more round Oh involve me in libation
Stick a rock in my foundation soak me in stagnation
Tackle my translation and I'll take you down
For one last round

Love struck I've fallen for a lamppost given her my utmost
Spilling out my deepest feelings
Now all I want to do is snuggle up to you
A night cap in the early morning dew

Look what have I become?
Distancing myself so far and front
But gazing up I wave the night boat on
For now its heaven in deepest Tottenham

What have I done to deserve this fate?
It's all gone wrong
Even my cab fares been and gone
Now I'm lagging in deepest Tottenham

As popular and well known as these guys are, they are still underrated. I think some see them as light and fluffy because that's their shtick, but underneath the madcap exterior they are phenomenally talented song writers and musicians.

Of their so many hits in the past, this is by far my most favourite Madness song. The lyrics, the harmonies, piano and the strings are absolutely superb.

[PastaMaster]

This song is brilliantly written. As is all their songs. On the surface it just seems like a silly video to go with a silly song. But a closer look at the lyrics gives you a story about a man dealing with the worst repercussions of alcoholism. Loss of loved ones who no longer wish to associate with you unless you seek help, having no money to the point of being stranded after spending the last of your money at the pub. And finally love of a lamp post which is just a funny visual for the cliche of the drunk who can't keep his balance and requires the assistance of a lamp post to stand.

It's one of my favorite songs by Madness and dare I say one of my favorites period.

[djhillfinger]

Took my 10 year old to see madness last year, he absolutely loves them now

[WESTBROOK.OSAW]

Only 16, but Madness has been my favourite band fot a long long time, always fun sharing it with my friends and singing along to it with my Dad.

[GG]

I loved this song as a kid without ever understanding the lyrics, then the new year show they did a couple of years ago Suggs explained the lyrics and it completely changed. Absolute masterpiece.

[chantellelandon]

I remember back when I was a teenager and this song came out. I loved it then and I still love it now as a 37 year old woman. It will always be one of my favorite songs of theirs.

[Greatest]

I feel nothing but LOVE LOVE LOVE for these fellas!!!

[iangrubb]

I have happy memories of stumbling round Rugby town centre singing this song and hugging every lamppost I saw. Oh to be 18 again!!! The perfect song that describes the night before/morning after!!! Glad to be reacquainted with it again!!!

[manaboutlife]

A band that I have played over and over again since I was a kid. Many of their songs are so underrated.

[RobbieB]

Reminds me of my jersey noir cert Ireland 1998-99, lost years . But look back on greatness 😄🇮🇪🇮🇪🍾

[coreygrange]
