The Specials - Do Nothing (with lyrics)

Enjoy...!!!

[@johnyasmin13]

Amazing isn't it? No police, no government, nobody could stop the riots in the 80's and bring the youth back together but these guys did? That's why they will always be remembered? Because they're special and now we've lost this wonderful man they will be super special. God bless all of the family and friends and fans and keep you all safe 🙏 and thank you MUSIC MAN TERRY HALL 👤 mr super special for gracing our stages and for lighting our darkness in the 80's and may you always RIP 🙏 🪦 you will be truly truly missed and never ever forgotten🇬🇧 👤🎤🎹🎸🇬🇧😔😪😥😢😭🙏

[@emmykaninchen]

I love the lyrics! The world now... isn't better then in the past. 'Nothing ever change' right. It speaks out of my soul . sorry for bad english.

[@topquizagogo]

Same thoughts about this lyrics 🥺

My fav Specials tune. Gonna see them in Cardiff on Sunday, the last time I went to a Specials gig was Cardiff 78 or 79, jesus, over 30 years ago. I still feel like an 18 year old Rude boy, it's a shame I don't look like one. Can't wait for the gig, hope it's as violent as the last one. Thanks very much for posting a classic.

I agree the single version with the added organ parts turns this into one of the finest singles ever released.

[@bevrek]

All these years I've been singing for the last chorus,"I walk and walk, country lane". And, "I talk and talk, C,est la vie." Ah well...C,est la vie !!

[@goth-granny]

Too much good

[@StrangelyBrownNo1]

"Policeman come and smack me in my teeth" - Love it! Just over one month till the Specials come to Melbourne. Madness three months ago, now the Specials... awesome.

[@ColinPottersBar]

Thanks for uploading, I almost forgot about this great song! But this isn't the only version, what about the version that has a Wurlitzer organ in it? More commercial but adds to the sound.

[@stOOpid68]

"Policeman smack me in my teeth": do you suppose this was a real life experience of Jerry Dammers?

[@tes74]

@scootmad97 thank you so much for your comment which I only just saw :)

[@retrovintageboy]

Unsurpassed

[@paulwaters2167]

[@terawattz]

did the same thing mugglechops,antmusic wasnt it?

[@privatehelluk]

One of my favourite Specials songs, actually prefer this album version to the single version, the single had too many organ overdubs on it. Stay rude. :)

[@moonshiny74]

Some of us definitely know what you mean. I exchanged a bright pink pixie bob and a young and rebellious lifestyle for a job in law, a kid, and subscriptions to Better Homes and Gardens and Bon Appetit :p. I host dinner parties instead of wild parties. I still have my black and white doc marten mary janes, though :D.
