    With reference to the lyrics Wormwood Scrubs is a prison in London and 'Have and away day, a cheap holiday, do it today!' was the strap line in an ad campaign by British Rail. The late '70s & early '80s was a violent time to grow up in the UK, with quire a few competing youth cultures. As a young mod I was beaten up a couple of times by gangs of Skinherads!

    I really relate to this song, living in London in the late 1970's, it was really dangerous times with the rise of the National Front and other right wing groups. If you looked or dressed a little different from the norm you risked violence and abuse.
    I have spent many times 'down in the tube staion at midnight' hoping I would get home safe.

    It's not too great even nowadays, but, in late 70's early 80's, as a teenager, I definitely didn't want to have to be at a tube station at midnight. Never felt safe there at that time of the evening.

    England in 1979-80 was very violent, as expressed in the music, in a strange sort of way I miss those days. You had to walk tall and show no fear, no weakness. Everyone boxed, everyone fought and knew how to handle themselves and those who didn't stayed in or became victims

    At the time it meant more , if you lived in London in the 70's and 80's, where supporting the wrong team or wearing something that stood out, on the wrong platform, could get a kicking or worse, not so much knives , but razor blades , knives were for threat , being cut /marked was more common . Gang bashing is understated in the song, well penned , since once you go down after the initial flurry , not much you can do except adopt the foetal. cover up and try not to scream abuse to encourage 'em. Getting confronted , being asked what team you support was usually as much of the conversation as needed to here , when alone after dark. Don't wanna go !

    The Jam were never a punk band, and yet this myth continues to exist, especially in America. Yes they emerged during that era, and Weller had his angry young man moments, but The Jam were an articulate bunch of classy musicians, who had more in common with the melodic nous of the sixties. I hope this paints a clearer picture of a much misunderstood band!

    Unless the tube station in question was Mile End and you were dressed in full Millwall FC regalia including a hat with an 'all West Ham fans are gay' sign on it, this story was very unlikely.
    And The Jam were very far from being punks, they were mods. Their heroes were the Small Faces and the Who (mods) and the Kinks (not mods, but very snappy dresser and similar style music). To be fair, the punks mostly loved those mod bands, too. They just hated Genesis , ELP and Pink Floyd, mainly.
