Lyrics:
This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
Too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang as the music played in any boomtown
This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town
This town is coming like a ghost town

RIP Terry Hall. I was 14 at comprehensive school when this came out. Loved everything Terry Hall was involved with. It was very much a track of its time but it is timeless
About the same age.
We were leaving the uk for a family holday in france and this was the last tune we heard getting on the ferry. Just felt so 'right'.
RIP indeed. I feel broken..
RIP Terry Hall,Skinhead til i die
RIP Terry
Agreed. One absurdly underrated singer. And admittedly even his own former band mates didn't know he was gravely ill. R.I.P..
Not really - it feels like we've come full circle
This plays in my head every time a waiter asks me if I'd like to hear the specials.
F*cking hilarious!!! ;-] AWESOME!!
👊
👽👽👽👽
That's funny.
H'on FA&H
Moody, deliciously eerie & still relevant. So many ghost towns.
unemployment at all time lows..
O my God so relevant today!!
@@adriennescotson1641 Why ? unemployment is low ..especially if you paid attention in school..
@@SunofYork lol the classic not understanding the first thing about employement. USA workforce participation is an all time low
@@reidkyle5030 That is what trumpniks and Ivans say. They discard official figures coz they are conspiracy theorists AND Trumpositories... I understand a lot more than mountain boys
Quality .... no argument, no debate, just pure quality. RIP Terry Hall.
It's so hard to believe this song is 40 years old, it's incredibly timeless
most Ska Songs are timeless like from Madness songs as well.
Yeah, it's way ahead of it's time.
I remember 81 moving to Coventry when this song was out. Too much fighting in Coventry.
Great place to be a student.
Relavent at the moment aye. Through generations still poetic and profound
@@te9591
I'm guessing you were not around in '81.
RIP Terry Hall. He was a good soul who leaves a tremendous legacy of music that will be forever revered. Ghost Town made a powerful statement about urban decay, racism and poverty in the UK at the same time as the riots of 1981. Very sad news of his passing. May he rest in peace.
Very well said. And thank you Terry.
I remember hearing this, and thinking of Toxteth burning during the riots. So fitting back then. And how little we have moved on today, still that unrest brewing just below the middle-class veneer of hopes.
RIP terry hall my music another one gone
@@clairewilson524 Thatcher destroyed society and the price is still being paid today- that is her legacy. Labour capitulated by accepting the neoliberal settlement under Thatcher, betraying working people as a result. The riots of 2011 were dismissed by many as consumerist, opportunistic greed instead of having a more fundamental cause rooted in poverty, lack of opportunity and racism. While there will have been some opportunism, in a society that is so unequal and unfair, it is no wonder it happened. The only surprise is that it did not happen sooner or since 2011. That is not to justify it, but it is about cause and effect. Britain is unstable beneath the apparent calm. Lack of trust in institutions, austerity hollowing out services, even wider inequality ( most unequal country in Europe apart from Bulgaria) and the trashing of 'democracy' by the Tories, has left the UK on its knees. It is a society and economy spinning out of control. The warnings were sounded when Ghost Town pulsated through the land.
@@eightiesmusic1984 I totally agree with most of what you say. I hate Thatcher to this day, and Ghost Town reminds me of the hopelessness of our city as jobs disappeared and managed decay took over.
The riots I'm talking about where around the country and included Toxteth in 1981. Houses broken into and furniture piled onto the streets then set ablaze. Police No Go Areas, and rage, neither have disappeared, we just allowed ourselves to be manipulated by the press and the rightwing successive governments.
2024. Still a legend of a song. Thanks Coventry ❤
Whose listening on the 43rd anniversary of this tune?
6/15/2024 at 2306
I was 2 yrs old when this came out. Fuck I'm old.😂
Oh yes, back to the days when we had to import Doc’s into Brisbane from Britain ourselves,,, a six or eight week wait seems very insignificant
Up against 43 years. RIP Terry Hall.❤
@@Mr_Anarchy78 I was 20 years old in 1981 😬
The fact I'm Listening to this in 2022 and the lyrics are still relevant is a bloody tragedy. Bless you Terry Hall you were a hero of my generation and beyond....
Thinking the same
Right as rain, mate
i think they are even more relevant than they have been in 25 years. This song has such atmosphere, something you just don't get from current music for some reason
We should be looking at old songs like this and laughing; "Things are much better now. What a joke!" But actually, they are WORSE! At least back then you could go to a pub/club with your dole/pocket money and buy a beer and chill. Now, you need a mortgage to do it. Very few cheap places around now to blow-off steam. That's not good!
@@bobrew461 agreed! Too much tax on alcohol in the UK, and very questionable if it's actually benefited anyone... Other than the polititians pockets!
Listening to this at the Winchester, waiting for this all to blow over...
LOL drink a pink for me bud
*Winks
hows ed going
got my pint, got my pig snacks, what else do you need?
@WonkaaVision You might wanna lay off the internet for a while, mate.
Still gives me chills 42 years later and so relevant even now. RIP Terry Hall.
Looking at most town centres nowadays, it's never been more relevant.
I was going to say the exact thing myself
I sing this song to myself while walking past all of the shut down shops in downtown San Francisco. It’s timeless and universal.
Whose still listening in 2024! 👻 currently watching This Town & made me rediscover The Specials........this song is iconic to us Brits, especially as a Nothern Brit! 👌🏼
Just sat in the car today at the Coventry Music Museum 😀
People disappearing by you, war songs.
Only watched 2 episodes so far. Loving it. Won't be eating any fingers though lol
It's as relevant now as then.
Ska for the win!
Heartbroken to learn of Terry Hall’s passing. You helped change the world and give a voice to so many people. Your legacy will live forever. RIP.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😢😢😢😢
Me too was a huge fan saw them in concert in the 80s 😪
way too young to have died RIP
Thank you for saying exactly what I wanted to say. Saw them several years ago and they were still incredible. Terrible loss.
One of the most hard hitting social commentary lyrics of all time, written by a genuinely talented musician. Rest easy Terry Hall, you'll be missed by many.
it was i was 9 when this came out in Liverpool ,i seen the effects of a inner city life
Jerry Dammers wrote it though, like most of their songs. (Terry only has one writing credit for the first 2 albums.)
Bang on statement.
This should be known by many others.
Great song, very well sung by Terry but was written by Jerry Dammers.
Hey, i m a 70 year old rockabilly player. And i love dat sound. Rock n Roll is da salt o life, Ska is the pepper.
Love that 😂

@@ianthomas2289 just wait until you hear about my prostatectomy
I’m 51 and I remember back in the 1980s, on Sundays, the city of London where they filmed a large part of this video, apart from early mornings in Petticoat lane and Brick lane nearby, it really was a ghost town. You see, back than Sunday was regarded as a rest day, and I remember as a kid I could hear church bells ringing in Bethnal Green, which is very close to the city of London, and most of my neighbours kitchen windows were left open, cooking their Sunday roasts. Nowadays, we’re living in a different world, with masses of people congregating in those areas today on Sundays, just like any other day during the week... Musicians today don’t make songs like these anymore. Filming it when it was getting dark, using lighting at the right angle to light up their faces, sitting in their car, driving along inside the tunnel, while singing with spooky, mysterious voices. Pure genius for the time!
RIP Terry Hall. This song remains a British masterpiece.
A world masterpiece
And it's Ireland's national anthem. 😉
I did not know that 😳 am going to listen to the Specials all day now
Let us stand for our national anthem
Couldn't be any more relevant nowadays. The situation and cause may be different from back then, but the world is more of a ghost town now than ever before.
@@MacaqueStinx Yes, I live in a very small town. This is the song I keep hearing replaying in my mind when I walk up a once busy road
Father ted
ah I see I have found a man of culture
Well put sir!
You can’t ever stop coming back to the songs you grew up with, because that time has long since gone!
Timeless classic which doesn't age. It sounds just as good now as it did when it was first released. It's a genuine masterpiece!
100% for sure.
Agree! This masterpiece is art! 👍🏴
This track never ages.... it's as brilliant today as it was 40 years ago. One of the greatest songs ever to come out of this country. RIP Terry Hall
Just like today, nothing left, people have lost themselves,now it's plastic barbies and Kens and everyones the same , no identity with them, just plain Jane's and twee
i dont like it at all.... and i am from the world war so i know my history
102 years old today actually
put some respect on phelpy baby
@@michaelphelpsaccidentalson127 what the moose are you talking about 🤨
I discovered this song during the Covid lockdown. Appropriate.
RIP Terry Hall. I’m just gutted. The Specials were a band that just reached across generations. From my junior year in high school, to a girl I dated in the nineties, to a woman I loved for twenty years, and to my oldest child...we all connected over this amazing band.
Pretty original song for the eightys
Thanks for sharing
I’ve been residing in Tulsa Oklahoma for the past three years. Playing this in my car while driving through the frozen-in-Time neighborhoods & condemned relics of Americana combined with urban madness that inspired SE Hinton to write The Outsiders is more chilling than you think.
Yeah that book meant everything to me as my neighborhood was as "greaser" as it gets. Now I'm 53 and i can't escape that feeling.
Is this song known in the US?
Yes, @@omegajrz1269, it was quite popular here at the time, but I believe that most of my fellow Yankees did not really understand it.
@@km6xu Because there are many English bands that went under the radar
How's this not the top comment!!??
One Of The Greatest Songs Of One Of The Greatest Bands Of All Time
RIP Terry Hall,your music and lyrics will live forever 🙏❤
#TheMusicOfMyYouth 🎶
Terry didn't write these lyrics.
RIP terry hall. He was a genius. They were all quite quite extraordinary. This is still breath taking.
The unintentional Seinfeld reference...
When a master piece is written, its never forgotten.
Always makes my hair stand on end - back then and now - superbly stirring.
I know what you mean .My mate introduced me to the specials The day Ghost town hit the charts ,I was hooked from that day 🎶👍
Timeless classic. RIP Terry Hall.
Even after 40 years still such a haunting and relevant song.
Big vibe
40 years? . My god!
It's so relevant now 40 years later as the new world order try to destroy our lives
@@aranyos1056 I've recently turned 30-.. I'm lucky enough to remember a bit of life before 9/11. and I guess I'm lucky because I can just about remember what half the world's maniacs were trying to tear down, I feel sorry for my younger siblings that were born later- all they've known is.. terrorists trying to kill them, Russians launching chemical attacks on british soil, unelected bureaucrats offshore trying to control their futures ..Goldman sach profiting from misery - mass migration.. conservatives .. I mean I tear up a bit... I tear up a bt at the thought of people my age going into hospital with illnesses they shouldnt get till sixty while those in their 90s are still fighting to live longer and control more wealth.. Its truly mad..
Im 15 now and got into ska just a few months ago but my life is changed. I didnt know Terry when he was alive, but his music and his genre have completely changed me as a person and ill never forget him
Nice one little man. I was into this stuff as a kid even though it was before my time. I can't remember the names of too many ska bands I liked back then, but The Beat were great, and The Selecter were cool too. That era and the era just preceding it and just after it was brilliant for British music. If you haven't already then try The Clash, there's some obvious cross over there as they played ska and reggae on quite a few tunes but some less obvious bands and artists to try are The Pogues, Elvis Costello, Squeeze, Billy Bragg and of course The Jam. There's loads more but try delve into them a bit if you ain't already, I think we made some of the coolest music ever made round that time.
❤😊
more relevant today as it was then, Great song
RIP Terry Hall. Responsible for some of the tunes of my 80s youth. Brings back those days so vividly
Even an old heavy rocker like me can appreciate just how immense this was! RIP Terry Hall.
You're right man
I'm the very same old now bit was a rocker but loved this tune
Good music is heavy
The best song to come out of my home town Coventry UK The Specials :)
Classic No. 1
The 80's were much more fun than nowadays
One of the most culturally significant songs in British music history. Genius.
Iain Park Amen to that, the only other at this level is God Save The Queen by The Pistols.
Agreed. That period from 1976 to 1982. When you left school with nothing to hope for only the dole queue. The country was on its knees. But out of this desperation came the energy of youth channeled into the greatest music. The kids today are still as great as we were but if they have everything what's there to protest about what's there to fight for. To seek being a part of something. Identity has become a twitter feed. Glad I was a kid then and not now. That's why there's no great music made, just mediocrity.
Iain Park Absolutely.
Iain Park i like too see that you agree with me, I'm 16. hand on heart id rather live and experience then than now: I enjoy everything about this era.
Absolutely! Brilliant music with a simple but innovative tune which gets right into your head and under your skin. The lyrics are an incisive commentary on inner city Britain in 1981. By coincidence it went to Number 1 in July 1981 in the same week as Brixton, Toxteth, Moss Side, Glasgow were ablaze. This is social commentary of the highest order; as relevant to the 2010s and this era of austerity as they were to Thatcher's recession-scarred Britain.
This World will not be a ghost town because Ghost town will be played forever .. absolute classic what a incredible man Terry Hall.. rest in Peace
Condolences to your band mates your family.. and your many fans around the World 🌎 .. legend
Beautifully put.
True.
I heard this a few weeks ago being played live in Oxford Street. It sounded absolutely amazing! Brought all my childhood back to me. The 80's were magic.
Coventry born and bred it is now a and a shite hole I'm now a foreigner it's terrible
Big changes everywhere … Even in Ireland … class song 💥🌟💥

Native English and west Indian rules. Old school 🇬🇧🇯🇲🇯🇲🇬🇧
Literally the only good thing I ever got from MTV. RIP Terry. Thank you for opening my ears 40 years ago
One of the most unique songs I've ever heard. Still fresh in 2019.
SlabBacon yessirrr
Yes, most definitely. I absolutely love this song.
Its depressing dated shit,only The Jam sound as good today!
😎🕴🏁
And as relevant.
I'm in a state of shock - Terry Hall dead at 63. No age at all. His music formed a major part of my adolescence. RIP
What a masterpiece. Just a brilliant song.
This Town BBC is absolutely brilliant I implore you to watch it. You won’t regret.
I did watch and did regret. Had been promoted as being about the 2 Tone era and failed dismally.
I have to study this song as part of my GCSE drama, and let me tell you, I have never been more excited to do work
Good luck
Good luck 👍
Topical!
Is it your stimulus??
Voodoo Reggae.
A hauntingly beautiful sophisticated timeless masterpiece.
Epic masterpiece love the specials !
yes same here so fab
Hola josh!!!you use hyperboles too much
Always
This track is timeless, scary and spot on.
Every time I hear it, the greatness of this band grows on me.
Still a sweet tune 2024
This hits hard. Terry's music was a large part of my youth. RIP.
I was 11 when this came out.
Written about inner cities going to shit, racial division, etc. I'm now 52 and it's still relevant.
It's my most played track on Spotify...174 times this year. A top top top tune.
Terry Hall was an underrated genius.
It's sad that it's still relevant, we haven't moved on......
I was 10
Jerry Dammers wrote it
Yes! I remember my big sister turned me on to the specials…
Respect 🙏
The Specials hit it on the head with this tune. Timeless. Play.Rewind.Repeat.
This video reinforces how Awesome this song is. 2023
Long live WLIR FM !!!💖🤸♂️♥️🇺🇸😎
Rest in Peace, Terry. Legend forever.
This song still sends shivers down my spine. Nothing sums up the despair of that era than this track.
That’s for sure 💯
The tories were in government then same thing today nothing has changed

...and also this era.
@@mufccharliemufcglazersoutYup because other mainstream political parties have always made things better 🤦🏾
Im 27 and i feel People too scared and self conscious to release music like this now..classics like this are real music just expression and sounds making people dance and ponder what ever is on their mind in the moment
When it comes to music, Britain rules the airwaves. Each generation spawns something new and very Special. Although, I can't speak for what passes for music these days,maybe that's a good thing. I've always loved the Specials, the two-tone era was amazing,the Specials were my favourites

This song is just so unique and always puts me in a trance. I am sad to know that Terry Hall has passed away, and I just found out reading the comments. I fell in love with them recently in October when my uncle played this while we carved pumpkins. He was still alive that month…then he went. RIP Terry Hall, you’ll always be a legend. ❤
I’m a child of the 90s so obviously didn’t experience this in it’s hey day but my Mum is so passionate about The Specials and all things 80s since she was a teen then. This song has stuck with me. It’s just as good each time you listen to it, as it was the first time you heard it.
It’s such a masterpiece. One of the best things you could ever hope to hear in life
She wanted u to know cool music 😜
They were brilliant. The soundtrack of my youth. RIP Terry!
Rest in peace Terry Hall. The Specials were an iconic 80s band...no-one else looked or sounded quite like them. Instantly recognisable when their songs came on the radio.
This track is Timeless, this and Another Brick in the Wall, Cars, Bohemian Rhapsody and Space Oddity, the best songs ever made :)
Few songs capture the energy and despair of their time and place quite as well as this song does.
One of the coolest sounding songs ever.
RIP Terry. One of THE best things to EVER come out of Coventry, bar none!! Would be fitting for this song to be charting again, not only due to the god awful circumstances of the loss of Terry, but the state of the UK at the moment to be fair.
MISS YOU TERRY. RIP BEAUTIFUL. WILL ALWAYS LISTEN 🎶
It's just not right is it that he passed so young .He was a troubled man all his life due to what happened to him as a young lad .
He did bloody well with how he played his life though , successful and popular.
I remember buying the ghost town single in 81 when it was released .
Lost 2 of my mates in 2017 who both loved the specials,can't believe they are no longer here now too .
They were both a similar age to Terry when they died 🙏🎶
the song is timeless
RIP Terry Hall, this song will always have a special place in my heart and soul!!
Rest in power Terry Hall!
Your music more relevant now than 40 years ago.
Number one from 1981 and great too. Thank you.
One of the greatest music videos of all time
My sister was so in love with The Specials. She died 11 years ago today. I'm probably the only person on the planet that crys like a baby when she hears them. It sounds sad but I can not express hpw grateful I am for The Specials.
Jessica Beverage: I'm so sorry to read about your sister and the distress that's evoked by this wonderful song. You obviously loved your sister. Don't be ashamed of your emotional responses. You're human. Life is bafflingly painful at times. I wish you all happiness. X
Jessica you are not alone. I lost my brother to cancer 10 years ago and he was big on The Specials and Sublime so I regularly play their songs when I’m thinking about him. It doesn’t always make me cry but it definitely helps me feel like he’s still with me. Big hugs hon and hope it gets better for you ❤️

Bless you sweetheart xx keep going Jessica ❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻
Ghost town 1981: Much of the U.K.

Will miss you Terry Hall
Ghost Town is a musical masterpiece. Lost for words at the loss of a beautiful human being and a phenomenal musical talent. RIP Terry Hall.
This just never gets old. 80's excellence by one of the most Legendary bands to ever exist, and that is a hill I will gladly die on. It just does not get any better than this.
RIP TERRY ....FROM ENGLAND...I'm now 62 a part of my youth ..never to be forgotten x
I was a fresh-faced 19 when this hit the charts, I'm 60 now. It puts things into perspective how old these songs are, but they were great days for alternative/independent music. So long Terry, thanks for the tunes.
You're so right,a unique sound still iconic. Rest in peace Terry x
Me too and I still have a thin black tie
❤
What a F@@@ing masterpiece.
Great track. This was a commentary about what was happening at the time, social deprivation, grim landscape we were faced with. Probably as relevant today as was back in the 80s. RIP Terry Hall, one of a kind, gone too soon.
RIP Terry hall ,,legend and thanks for all the brilliant songs,,you will allways be remembered in your songs ❤️
"Do you remember the good old days/Before the Ghost Town?"
Heard this song back in 1981, just before the major riots took
place around the country. Nearly forty years later, the theme of
this song is an eerie summary of London right now due to the
outbreak of coronavirus. There was hardly anybody about, when
I went out yesterday evening.
Still creepily brilliant after all these years.
Why have you written this like a poem?
The riots were around the Summer 1981 when this song was released
Forget about London, this is COV baby
@@sammiianne5295 Yes, and they were all around the country.
This song is all about Coventry in the 80tees period the band were co Coventry City born and bred most of them were from the ends of hillfields just outside cov City centre consisting of about 12 Tower blocks and a front line strip where I lost many man's friendship to the eco of the gun shots sometimes over nutting and all the old back streets and the bits, so basically it was about the boom town entering the ghost town, me gone🇮🇪🍀🙏
I remember buying the single when it came out. I helped to get it to Number One in the charts. Still love this even now on my late fifties 😎
This is good...reminds me of when I would go see The Crazy 8's in Portland Oregon back in the late 1980's😎

Utter classic Terry hall was a class act and very good songwriter very underrated , just have a peek at his back catalogue very diverse musically and culturally great musician and songwriter and a very gracious and accommodating human being ,,,
Sadly missed but his music and work will live on always thru classics like this ……………rip
Terry Hall mattered at a time when pop music mattered. And this is one of the greatest pop records of all time.
RIP Terry, you were a poster boy for being a survivor and turning tragedy into triumph. Condolences to his family, friends, band mates and fans around the world, of which, i am one. Love from Canada 🕯🕯🕯🕯😢
Absolute perfection. A true masterpiece.
