What a sad day, the day he passed. Struck a chord in the hearts of many of us younger generation in that day. Privileged to have heard and enjoyed his music.

Im from Belfast, i met the guys when i was on holiday in Isle of Man around the time the song came out. Had a chat about the lyrics, they came across like they really cared about NI. Absolute gentlemen. RIP Terry. Saw Neville's gig with the Undertones in Belfast last night. A great show 👏👏👏

Loved seeing David Byrne from Talking Heads there as the weather man at the end there. He produced Waiting, the second FB3 Album in which this was the first single released from it.

the lyrics, that bass (when turned loud) and The Godly ghostly voice of Terry sends shivers down my whole nervous system everytime i hear it, Terry has blown my head off metaphorically in so many songs, one of the gods amongst men, turned his abuse as a child into a positive and not a negative, or more so into a power. Long into the future if people look back at the 70s and 80s as being the best pop music eras ever then they will be on the right path, music to last eternity. Things don't age when they are original and sound timeless and the lyrics are relevant as Terrys always are.

Lyrics are brilliant on this song, I remember using these on some school project or other about politics or the situation in Ireland, too long ago now to recall - I put a boot stamp across the page and the UK/Ireland map there with the lyrics on it. I clearly remember it being put on the wall by the teacher. I think back now and Terry Hall helped voice so many proper subjects to the younger generation and the country as a whole... #RIP

Great record. If my memory serves me correctly, this was released at approximately the same time as War Crimes by The Special AKA. Two brilliant, unashamedly political records that unsurprisingly received minimal BBC Radio play.

It's like The Specials have never went away and should of been a bigger hit and debuted the same week as The Special A.K.A. War Crimes.

They never played this song on radio stations in America when this song was first released. Let us get real how bigoted Americans are. It's not racism but homophobia that prevented this song being played on radio stations in America.
