The Jam

The Jam were an English punk rock/New Wave/mod revival band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were formed in Woking, Surrey. While they shared the "angry young men" outlook and fast tempos of their punk rock contemporaries, The Jam wore smartly tailored suits rather than ripped clothes, and they incorporated a number of mainstream 1960s rock and R&B influences rather than rejecting them, placing The Jam at the forefront of the mod revival movement. more »

Closer than close you see yourself -
A mirrored image of what you wanted to be.
As each day goes by a little more 
You can't remember what it was you wanted anyway. 
The fingers feel the lines they prod the space
Your ageing face the face that once was so beautiful,
is still there but unrecognizable 
Private Hell.

The man who you once loved is bald and fat
And seldom in working late as usual.
Your interest has waned you feel the strain
The bed springs snap on the occasions he lies upon you
close your eyes and think of nothing but
Private Hell.

Think of Emma wonder what she's doing 
Her husband Terry and your grandchildren.
Think of Edward who's still at college 
You send him letters which he doesn't acknowledge.
'Cause he don't care,
They don't care.
'Cause they're all going through their own - Private Hell.

The morning slips away in a valium haze,
And catalogues and numerous cups of coffee.
In the afternoon the weekly food,
Is put in bags as you float off down the high street

The shop windows reflect - play a nameless host,
To a closet ghost - a picture of your fantasy 
A victim of your misery - and Private Hell 

Alone at 6 o'clock - you drop a cup 
You see it smash - inside you crack 
You can't go on - but you sweep it up 

Safe at last inside your Private Hell.
Sanity at last inside your Private Hell.
