UK Decay: Middle of the Road Man

Track of the Week - 26 June 2022

I had to do some motorway driving this week. I found the number of people just sitting in the middle lane (in their cars I should add - there wasn't a protest happening) rather frustrating.

It's dangerous, causes more congestion and is contrary to rule 264 of The Highway Code. Sort it out people!

Middle of the Road Man, from Luton post-punk band UK Decay's 1980 EP The Black 45 isn't about people who drive in the middle lane but bland musicians controlled by their record companies. I haven't heard it for ages but it's very good. Shades of early Fall bass and guitar work if I'm not mistaken.
