Ghost Town, The Specials had a great b-side 'why' about racism and 'Friday night and Saturday Morning' with my one of my favourite lyrics;
But two o'clock has come again
It's time to leave this paradise
Hope the chip shop isn't closed
Cos' their pies are really nice
I'll eat in the taxi queue
Standing in someone else's spew
Wish I had lipstick on my shirt
Instead of piss stains on my shoes |
