Hundred Mile High City

The theme tune to 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'. 'Hundred Mile High City' was born at a concert at the Garden Hall, Tokyo in December 1996. During Steve Cradock's normal sound check, the 'Hundred Mile High City' riff emerged and instantly caught the attention of Simon Fowler and band manager Chris Cradock, who were standing at the front of the stage.

Better Day

Originally written in 1993, 'Better Day' tells us of the band's fight through the Fontana period and the lean years before 'Moseley Shoals'. In the song, 'Sonny' is Simon Fowler, 'Stevie' is Steve Cradock, 'Minnie' is Damon Minchella and 'Harry' is Oscar Harrison. 'Davy' is Dave Bates, head of A&R at Fontana, the man who refused the band's demo tapes for a second Fontana album.
