Lyrics

Every word, written by AI.

VERSE 1 - MALE
80s, heard that sound, knew cool was going down,
Two Tone, rude army, love the look, love the sound,
Love to dance, love to shimmy, shake it in the shebeen, hey!

VERSE 2 - MALE
Cut the 【entity-Specials¦canonical_name=The Specials】 at clubs, every time they came to town,
Neville and Lynval, that dynamic sound,
Our Lips Are Sealed 100%, wow!
More 【entity-specials¦canonical_name=The Specials】, more 【entity-specials¦canonical_name=The Specials】, more 【entity-specials¦canonical_name=The Specials】 — now!

CHORUS - MALE
Moved into town with all gangsters,
Heard this new sound from the radio,
Seen 【entity-Shabba Ranks¦canonical_name=Shabba Ranks】 with his arms crossed,
Seen New York gangsters flexing guns,
But I've seen the proof —

HOOK - MALE
Terry Hall — looking rude — at a taaaaable,
That makes all guns — bust — like Navarrone,
Navarrone... rone... rone... rone...

VERSE 3 - MALE
Windmills of Your Mind, Steve McQueen scene,
Terry sang it like he lived it, circles in his mind,
Most profound thing, profoundest of all time.

VERSE 4 - MALE
Heartfelt goodbye, from the heart, no lie,
Loved his last album, hit us with the truth,
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful man,
Terry, we love you, we miss you, we carry you — damn.

CHORUS - REPEAT - MALE
Moved into town with all gangsters,
Seen New York gangsters flexing guns,
But I've seen the proof —

HOOK - REPEAT - MALE
Terry Hall — looking rude — at a taaaaable,
That makes all guns — bust — like Navarrone,
Navarrone... rone... rone... rone...

OUTRO - FEMALE - GLOW
Terry Hall, More 【entity-Specials¦canonical_name=The Specials】, that was gangster,
Now you're in the heavens just following me, me, me, me...
