The Victorian English Gentlemen’s Club - Watching the Burglars (Single)

View The Review

4 out of 10

Despite the expected Elvis Costello references, Watching the Burglars is more Adam Ant channelling British Sea Power. The track steams along at a relentless pace without really going anywhere - quite a trick. Polish Man seems to be Squeeze on crack with a Lydon-lite vocal, apparently making some sort of observation on the UK's reliance on Polish labour and its propensity for random acts of extreme violence. Been reading too many newspapers, clearly.
