February 24, 2018 - The Jam - Start! (1980)



I need more Taxman! Mr. Tax is nowhere to be found at the moment, so here are some lads from Woking, England, to help us out of the jam. Kick out the jams, Mr. Weller!

We've got the Taxman guitar riff again (and the bass line), but this time the subject matter is unrelated. Start! is about a guy who wants to pick up a girl without having to muck about with all the introductory games and rituals. All about keeping it simple. No need to tax their energy needlessly, eh? He thinks two minutes is enough to sense the possibilities. He isn't willing to give very much, and as a result he's not expecting much, but at least he's being honest. 

Guess what? I'm no longer in a jam, Mr. Tax, I did my taxes this morning! Finish!
