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. After seven consecutive UK Top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, the band broke up. Their 1983 song "Free Nelson Mandela" was a No. 9 U… more »

It ain't safe to walk out tonight 
There's always someone ready to start a fight 
What did I do? What did I say? 
And did I look at you, the wrong way? 

I don't know what's going on 
But instead of having fun, you're gonna spoil the night 

So don't you tell me that you're sorry 
And don't you tell me it's all good 

Leave it leave it leave it out 
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out 
Leave it leave it leave it out 
What's the point of acting big just because there's a crowd 

Stinking breath, and blood on your hands 
Another guilty feeling comes as you wake up 
What did you do? What did you say? 
And would you act the same the next day? 

So don't you tell me that you're sorry 
And don't you tell me it's all good 

Leave it leave it leave it out 
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out 
Leave it leave it leave it out 
What's the point of acting big just because there's a crowd 

It ain't safe to go out tonight 
There's always someone ready to start a fight 
What did I do? What did I say? 
And did I look at you, the wrong way? 

So don't you tell me that you're sorry 
And don't you tell me it's all good 

Leave it leave it leave it out 
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out 
Leave it leave it leave it out 
What's the point of acting big just because there's a crowd 
Leave it leave it leave it out 
If you're coming in for trouble then you know you're going out 
Leave it leave it leave it out 
What's the point of acting big just because there's a crowd
