The difference in this album versus the other two is the usage of slower, moody songs that you would not expect from Sham 69. The Adventures of Hersham Boys was one of Sham 69's most successful albums and launched two major chart singles, "Hersham Boys" and "Questions and Answers," proving there's a British corollary to H.L. And while Jimmy Pursey's lead vocals are a bit more expert this time out, his attempts towards a more musical sound simply betray the fact that he doesn't have much of a vocal range, which hardly helps on songs like "Fly Dark Angel", "Joey's on the Street," and "Lost on Highway 46," which combine the worst aspects of Meat Loaf and Bruce Springsteen with British punk at its most intellectually challenged.

Top ten smash ‘Hersham Boys’ punches the TOTP nostalgic sweet spot, whereas ‘Hurry Up Harry’ could raise the dead with its futile tea-time chorus and Punk ‘N’ Roll riff. A cover of ‘White Riot’ garners a raucous audience reaction before the double trouble anthem encore. The hits now flow as ‘Angels With Dirty Faces’ see a few a pints get launched while ‘Questions And Answers’ remains a poetic clip round the ear of classic Sham. ‘George Davis Is Innocent’ is followed by a rollicking ‘Borstal Breakout’ and the perfect aural pocket-sized snapshot of Seventies teenage exasperation on ‘That’s Life’. The engaging frontman with a piercing stare holds court as ‘Ulster Boy’, ‘Rip Off’ and a speedy ‘Bastille Cake’ fly past. Explain your version of song meaning, find more of Sham 69 lyrics.
