Lyrics:
It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone
He who knocks is he that missed
The 'Don't Disturb' sign on the door
And he who call this, he that dropped
Invitations on the floor
Sitting down and switching on
The wooden box, the door is locked
Switching off the world outside
The party's over for the night
It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone
The telephone starts to ring, it rings
The 5-piece doorbell starts to chime
The liquid clock burst into song
It's out of tune, the timing's wrong
It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone
It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone
Lying down and soaking in
The bubble bath, the door is locked
Switching off the world outside
The party's over for the night
It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone
It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door
When you come home to answer your telephone
It must be wonderful to live like you do
To have respect from everyone that you know
To have surprises waiting outside your door

I came here just for see him smiling again. Peace for ever, dear Terry.

[@andrewbeale2585]

I am poleaxed by the death of Terry Hall, he was the voice of our generation, standing stock still in the middle of the stage with his deadpan face while the crowd went wild for The Specials/FB3 This song is one of the best of the FB3 era, I can't get it out of my head. 63 is no age at all, it is unbelievable that he is gone RIP Terry Hall your music will live forever in our hearts and heads

[@deanriley1284]

Well put !!

[@davidfarmer2193]

R.I.P. Terry Hall (1959-2022).

[@dizzylizzysunflower]

R.I.P Terry…another one from my teens sadly gone 😢

[@johedges5946]

I think he really DID have fun with Fun Boy Three

[@tracymac9048]

Gen X ears will always have this in their eardrums. Sleep easy Terry

[@ehrichweiss]

RIP Terry. This song was my gateway to being introduced to The Specials and as such I'll always consider it one of the songs that let me know I was more into alternative/ska/punk than I could have imagined at the time. You will be greatly missed.

[@mickhailey6917]

Can’t believe Terry has died 😥😥

[@lassie123456]

Terry Hall. A beautiful soul. That smile. R.I.P.

[@jasonrattue]

The Specials, Madness and Fun Boy Free educated me that we all learn from each other. Thank you!

[@JasonArnold-bx7dq]

RIP Terry Hall. And a Manchester United fan as well. Sadly missed

[@kneeknocker1967]

Terry Hall has one of the best voices. It will always remind me of my skin and ska days as a teenager

[@ivetteperezjuarez6671]

I'm sorry but what do you mean by skin?

[@kneeknocker1967]

@@ivetteperezjuarez6671 "skinhead" 😊 was a long time ago now 😂

[@lennonmoir6531]

'Had' not 'has'.....he's dead

[@stephenwalker2924]

@@lennonmoir6531 Terry Hall's work (his recordings, his videos and his albums) are still with us and readily available. People in the future who are not yet born will discover Terry for the first time - and he will live anew. So, 'has' is very appropriate here, I think. One wouldn't write: "Pope wrote an excellent line here." if one was writing an academic essay on Pope and his poetry. One would stick to the present tense: "Pope writes/has written..." , not the past tense.

[@Phil-1969]

RIP Terry

[@RCCarDude]

The rare song where the single version is better than the album version.

[@satori4183]

There's a proper horse at the end there, haha. RIP Terry, at least here it looked like you and the lads had fun

[@rosiemcaughey8324]

Rest in peace Terry Hall 😢❤️

RIP Terry a totally legend

[@BinaBecker]

Such a criminally underrated song on this side of the Atlantic, but I can't stop loving it.

[@nickyblacklaws5171]

[@alexhiggins4life]

Great song. Remember this as a wee big RIP Terry

[@EamonCuddy]

Terry Hall what a voice the specials were brilliant not like boring u2 are Coldplay

[@gemiman5734]

Still love this and it still sounds as good in 2022 as when it played in 1982. I found the Fun Boy Three first LP when I was having a sort out in my box room, during lockdown 2020, ahhh the memories it brought back. I even wanted my hair style like his in 82 but the hairdresser at the time Pierre Alexander hair salon, Manchester, made a pig's ear of it. Thanks for your music Mr Hall, RIP, you was the spokesperson for my youth in the 70s/early 80s and a very talented musician.

[@margaretgraves5109]

Found ALL my vinyls. Bought a 2nd hand record player for £20 . Happy days lol x

[@LostwaveObsession]

Ohhh, good days. Terry... Love all the stars that appear in the video. I remember buying the 7", exciting times. You never think it'll end.
