Great times to be young. Still a tight band here.

[@emilyferianti366]

Do nothing Each day I walk along this lonely street Trying to find, find a future New pair of shoes are on my feet Cause fashion is my only culture Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change People say to me just be yourself It makes no sense to follow fashion How could I be anybody else I don't try, I've got no reason Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change I'm just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing I'm just living in a life without feeling I talk and talk, say nothing Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change I walk along this same old lonely street Still trying to find, find a reason Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth I don't complain, it's not my function Nothing ever change, oh no Nothing ever change They're just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing They're just playing in a life without thinking They talk and talk, say nothing I'm just living in a life without feeling I walk and walk, I'm dreaming I'm just living in a life without feeling I talk and talk, say nothing I'm just living in a life without meaning I walk and walk, do nothing

[@Giantcappuccino]

Had the privilege of seeing the Specials in around '92 or '93 at Bimbo's in SF. Such an amazing band. Terry was a true gift to music history.

[@Fetherko]

Yes. I think I saw that tour in Cleveland. Was that the whole band with Jerry Dammers? He wrote the songs.

[@michaelconnell4179]

Masterpiece.❤️.

[@Sally-lg1vn]

Yeah amazing song, loved the look aswell, more suits needed!! 🙂

[@mollynorthwood7728]

we have got a lot to thank Thatcher for. we would've never had such great music if it wasn't for her lol.

[@Robcatist]

Definitely….a lot of groups tapped in to that absolute hopelessness of being working class in 81.

[@maxinesmith3801]

Absolutely loads of awesome chunes about then. How was we expected to concentrate in class with so many fab tracks about.

[@philippaine]

And a council house.....she sold them.off!!!

[@issyjas3309]

Not thanking her for anything, she’s still a bitch and this band far too talented not to have made it

[@garydevine5828]

We don't need to thank her for the music, We had good music inspite of her 🤣

[@kameronnaeole7680]

The best drunk song ever

@@jonathanmoore5619 referencing something like that dosent make you sound knowledgeable. That's also nothing to do with what we are talking about, the subject is "woke" which is about being aware of social injustices such as racism and the subject of racism takes up most of the specials songs and the fact nevile and lynvil are black is a representation of that fight against whilst also highlighting diversity
