Released 30 years ago last Sunday

The Specials - 'GhostTown' - 30 years ago last Sunday, 12th June. How old does that make me feel? One of the all time classic singles.



My favourite Specials track is this though - 'Too Much, Too Young'

'You've done too much
much too young
Now you're married with a kid
when you could be having fun with me!

...

Ain't he cute?
No he ain't
He's just another burden
on the welfare state

...

Call me immature
Call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich
Don't want to be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you
(you silly moo)

...

You've done too much
much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker
making currant buns for tea

...

Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really a program of sterilization
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap'

Ah those were the days, I may go off for a quick bit of skanking now; good exercise!
