Lyrics:
Can you hear them talking 'bout us?
Telling lies, is that a surprise
Can you see them? See right through them
They have a shield, nothing must be revealed
It doesn't matter what they say
No one listens anyway
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon that we can use
In our defense, silence
Well, just look at them, look right through them
That's when they disappear, that's when we lose the fear
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
It doesn't matter what they say
No one's listening anyway
Our lips are sealed
Hush, my darling, don't you cry
Guardian angel, forget their lies
Can you hear them talking 'bout us?
Telling lies, well, that's not surprise
Can you see them? See right through them
They have a shield, nothing must be revealed
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed

I love how the two versions is almost like London vs Los Angeles. Terry's version is rainy, subtle and dark with an offbeat syncopated groove. Jane's version is just sunny LA with blaring guitars, melodic bass and a driving groove. I love both versions. RIP Terry.

I met him early last year as I was working on the VIP bar at a specials concert at Halifax piece hall. The rest of the bar staff didn't know who he or the specials were as they are aged between 18 to 22 years old. I told them about ska and Coventry etc. They watched the concert and absolutely loved the music and they all became fans. They were envious of me growing up in a decade with such good music week in week out.

At that time Fun Boy Three were effectively a post-punk supergroup: Hall, Staples and Golding along with Bethan Peters on bass and June Miles-Kingston on drums. Backing vocalist Ingrid Schroeder also later released a brilliant trip hop album in the late 1990s.

Been a hard couple of days. . Still get butterflies every single time I hear the intro to this beautiful track - instantly reminds me of the start of the runway show in New York Fashion Week A/W 1998. That drum beat, the bass, the cello….. . Backstage, at the curtain, the entrance to the catwalk, peeking out checking if anyone had turned up lol 😆 . Final check on every outfit, last second changes, crumpling collars, tucking in jumpers, rolling up trouser hems, smudging make up, tousling hair, trying hard not to panic and timing each model out to the beat of the drums and the baseline. . Instantly reminded me of my youth, how much I wanted to be in a band, sounding like this, looking like this - looking like I didn’t know how cool I looked, or cared if anyone gave a shit! . Terry Hall seemed to have this nonchalant look about him that no one else on the planet had. We learned years later why that was. . That bomber jacket with the diagonal exposed sleeve zip was first out! Classic 80s number that! . I’d woken up that morning with a terrible hangover, panicking, realised I needed some accessories for the show, hair gel and hair pins, jumped in a cab, headed up to Harlem. Had a panic attack in the back of the cab, first and last time ever! Ended up on the floor of the cab thinking I was having a fuckin heart attack! Managed to control my breathing, got up off the floor, stopped the cab, jumped out, grabbed a bottle of water - obviously totally dehydrated, for some reason! Found an Afro Caribbean hairdressing shop that had the hair gel and some kilt pins. Running around, realised I didn’t have a belt on, had forgotten to pack one, trousers were falling down! Headed back downtown, panicking about being late for the show, for some reason stopped off at Gucci and bought an elasticated belt. Must’ve been near Bryant Park or something as I definitely couldn’t afford it but knew I’d run out of time. Tried about 3 other shops, couldn’t find anything, thought at least I could use that on one of the models, last minute worries! Realised I’d been procrastinating, obviously petrified about doing this show - what if it was a complete disaster? . Dressed the models, lined them up, this came on, I was like ….. WOW! . Unbelievable! . Never heard such an incredible opening track on any runway show, everyone used to play disco shit, nobody played indie, ever - it really was something beautiful. . I wish I still had a copy of the video - played it for years after that, on a little TV that had a video cassette slot underneath the screen! “Can you hear them? They talk about us Telling lies Well, that's no surprise Can you see them? See right through them They have no shield No secrets to reveal Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed There's a weapon That we must use In our defense Silence When you look at them Look right through them That's when they'll disappear That's when we'll be feared” The words seemed very poignant to me at that time. RIP Terry Hall you were a fine human being XXXXXXX

Terry used to walk in our shop in Covent Garden, from time to time, sit down and have a chat when he was recording sometimes with Dave Stewart near Endell St. We all loved him, he was like a big brother or a friend who came to see us sometimes. He talked to all of us so openly and warmly. And he was really funny too. His voice and music were a true reflection of the man.

I just found out about his passing. I live in a village in Northern Spain and don’t listen to the news. RIP Terry. I won’t even begin to talk about the influence his and the bands he sang had on me. My family used to sell clothes to all of the groups making music at the time including the Sex Pistols a little earlier on, so as a kid I would see them all the time. The Specials were my favorite though and Terry as we all know was a lyrical genius the quintessential frontman stylish and yes he could sing. This Funboy Three cover of our lips are sealed is one of my favs with the standout backing vocals provided by Mo-dettes drummer June Miles-Kingston, who also played drums on the single and the Waiting LP excellent excellent.
