Too hot, this town is too hot Now they're calling for their guns About to spoil the rude boys' fun But rude boys never give up their guns It's too hot No man, can tell them what to do Pound for pound, they say they're ruder than you They are the boss, and no back down You might have a couple you like Choose your burial sight Take insurance, make up your will Come out and tell them, find them The soldiers came back to you without them
"The Specials - Brixton Academy - June 2008 watch this space" thats what Terry Hall posted on his offical myspace. I've got a feeling that there is going to be a specials reunion (original lineup) i can't wait!!!
@reallyyaar Not to be a total dick, but Too Hot is a Prince Buster song, Monkey Man is by Toots and the Maytals, and even Gangsters is largely based on Prince Buster's "Al Capone". That being said, you are right - Jerry Dammers is the fucking man. He always manages to just pen that perfect punch at the end of a song that just really hits you.
Greatest cover band ever.

They almost did it. They stood for the working man. Black or White it didnt matter. I wished so hard that they would succeed.oh well live and learn.
