Bed And Breakfast Man Lyrics
At least I used to years ago
I didn't really mind
He used to come 'round all the time
I had to give him a bed
He used to kip on my sofa
They used to call him a loafer
But some of his ways he just can't mend
That he'd offered to pay
He didn't like his dad
He earned all he ever had
He was a master at his game
He never showed his hand
He was the bed and breakfast man
So. In 6 years 4 persons came here to check the song. 3 reasonable posts and the rest by a mad c*nt.
This song is amazing! It is amazing that it wasn't released as a single. It's really catchy as well. Madness are one of the best bands ever.
aww man this song is the shizz... the video is cool too... indeed Madness are one of the best bands EVER!

Five stars from me too. In fact, to me this is the quintessential Madness track, in spite of not being a single.
Effective simplicity, Madness's trademark
Really hard to get the last verse out of one's head.
In the Bed and Breakfast Man Clip Bedders wears clothes I can easily see on a young Brian Setzer. The Fifties and its John Wayne Stuff were back.....
In the My Girl clip intro my dear Bedford has a giant cowboy hat on his head. That hat was also part of the clip for Shut Up, in the middle bit where you can hear Western-movies guitar and gunshots.
In those years Bedford had "Walk Don't Run" by the Ventures amongst his ten favourite songs.
The Shadows had a better John Wayne-ish tune called "Apache".
What link between Madness and The Shadows? ....well...... They all liked to wear ties and suits.
Back to the bed and breakfast: You don't see that often in a girl but I want to say: I'm a loafer. A shameless one and all.
I had too much to drink last night.
There are no cowboy hats in Shut Up. I'm trying to figure out where that idea came from.
No I haven't tried at all. I was watching in loop those 9 seconds in the clip where Bedders' playing and chewing happily. I would transform into a Fender if that was the only way for him to put his hands on me...
Exit the maddening groupie.
