The Specials

The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA ) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. Their music combines a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude", and had a "more focused and informed political and social stance" than other ska groups. The band wore mod-style "1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits, and loafers)." In 1980, the song "Too Much Too Young", the lead track on their The Special AKA Live! EP, reached number one in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single "Ghost Town" also hit number one in the UK Singles Chart.

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
