To me the "More Specials" album is a milestone as much as The Clash Sandinista! and this track in particular is a Lounge Dub gem!!!

Jerry Dammers RULE!!!

one of my absolute fav specials tracks!

I think the teacher like it coz I was the only one she asked to read their song out to the class twice, plus the next day we had an English lesson on stereotypes, she who knows, maybe my boring old English teacher was influenced by the specials.

I remember at school my English teacher asked our class to write the lyrics to our fav song, most kids chose Baggy Trousers by Madness, but I chose this one. My teacher couldn't understand how and why a 13 year old kid liked such a dark song, but the kids thought it was cool as I read it out to the class, I said 'pissed' and 'VD' and got away with it.

Great group, whose songs perfectly reflected the mood of the times.

Yeah i like the style of this track ,it has that erie/unique sound to it similar to int jet set in some ways i wish the specials made a few more tracks like this.

There's something very melancholy about this song, that makes me feel bittersweet. I especially like the weird synthesizer in the background.
