My favourite one too, this one is truly *special* 'Just because you're nobody it doesn't mean that you are no good' that big phrase with his phrasing is a powerful and tender love message itself, like a gospel kind of "you are not alone". Also the mood and the melodies.. a perfect song, a present to the history of humanity . RIP Terry. Peace to everybody 🖖

This live performance from 1981 by the Specials sums up what two-tone was all about. kzread.info/dash/bejne/YpqCj6Wupq2eaag.html

Should be the anthem of the World Bruv

When I was 15, the lyrics of this LP taught me about empathy, especially this track.

Feel a bit broken this morning..

This album is my life-long favorite, every song of it!!

Living in Coventry in 70s great times

Top Top tune, loved The Specials all my life. Seeing Terry Hall on TV as a kid made realise there's more to life than just going through the motions. One of my first Heroes, Terry Hall thank you for making me dance to Too much to Young at my local school disco. You're very welcome.🙏🏾😎👍🏾⭐🙌🏾👋🏾🤛🏾⭐🙂✨

Roddy - you utter rockstar! Nice chap, too.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard..❤️

♥️ RIP... Such a brilliant song...even more relevant now...

One of my first vinyl purchases ever, Amoeba Records in SF. Classic timeless album. Produced by Elvis Costello.

This week I saw The Specials live, listening to this still gives me goosebumps

Yeah them was the days x

Just because you're nobody It doesn't mean that you're no good Just because there's a reason It doesn't mean it's understood It doesn't make it alright It doesn't make it alright It's the worst excuse in the world And it, it doesn't make it alright Some people think they're really clever To smash your head against the wall Then they say "you got it my way" They really think they know it all It doesn't make it alright It doesn't make it alright It's the worst excuse in the world And it, it doesn't make it alright Just because you're a black boy Just because you're a white It doesn't mean you've got to hate him It doesn't mean you've got to fight It doesn't make it alright It doesn't make it alright It's the worst excuse in the world And it, it doesn't make it alright Just because you're nobody
