    These lyrics are so true. I'm 62 & had bowel cancer diagnosis this year. Had major surgery & now having chemo. Life is for living. Enjoy yourself because it IS later than you think. RIP Terry.

    RIP Terry, you are a legend that vocalised everything that was and is wrong with toryism. Sad indictment on the UK that your music is still relevant today.
    You did your part, your family and friends have my sympathy and can be rightly proud of you.

      A fitting song for anyone at a crossroads in life,I've given up my job"bus driver since the 90s"sold my house, moved far away from my home town,I'm going to run out of money around February, but it's the best decision I've ever made,At 55 the words of this fantastic song gave me a push 3 months ago to change things and ENJOY YOUR LIFE IT'S LATER THAN YOU THINK, so saddened to hear of Terry's passing,this song started my life change so thank you so much for that.

    I'm laid in bed 22 Dec , feeling like crap listening to this.. Tears in my eyes , I just can't believe Terry has gone. The specials were my childhood they were my adulthood , I've listened to them and my ska collection nearly everyday since 1979 when I was blown away by Gangsters.... been into 2 tone ever since.. It's a way of life.. Now a huge piece is missing.... Damn this cold making me sob
    RIP Terry .. Thanks for the music its kept me on the straight n narrow..

    I saw them for 3rd time at the Richoe centre in Coventry for their 30th anniversary . They played ghost town ..I stopped dancing and just stared at them .. tears streaming down my face ...think OMFG it's the specials and I here with them . The next song
    Nevel staples went on the mic and stopped the music . Said a huge thank you to the crowd and said you've made 8 60 year old blokes so happy he had tears and struggled to speak we had tears ...I lost it at that point . Straight into concrete jungle omg the place erupted ....never been so happy in my life

    Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
    The years go by, as quickly as you wink
    Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
    Hello, I'm Terry, and I'm going to enjoy myself first
    It's good to be wise when you're young
    'cause you can only be young but the once
    Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
    So glad and live life longer than you've ever done
    Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
    The years go by, as quickly as you wink
    Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
    Never right, yes I know
    Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
    These three, were given free by the maker
    Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker
    It's not wise for you to be a foot stool
    Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
    The years go by, as quickly as you wink
    Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
    The years go by, as quickly as you wink
