When this track came out, I had a school assignment where we had to write out the lyrics to a song that had an affect on you, pass out the lyrics to everyone and then we had play the song in class and talk about the lyrics. Needless to say I freaked out the whole class and they thought I was a creep. Never mind, . . . .just listened again thanks to your post - and this still gives me shivers the way it did when I first heard it way back then. It's a powerful and dark tune. Right off the bat with that screetching trumpet and seedy atmospheric tone. . .
This has been put together by the clever folk on The Specials2.com forum.. many thanks =)
