Ghost Town
Echoes of Abandonment: Unveiling the Ghostly Tale in The Specials' 'Ghost Town'
Lyrics
This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
This town (town) is becoming deserted and lifeless, resembling a ghost town.
All the clubs have been closed down
All the clubs in the town have been shut down, contributing to the desolation.
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
The entire place, including the town, is transforming into a ghost town, losing its vibrancy.
Bands won't play no more
Musical bands have stopped performing, adding to the cultural decline.
Too much fighting on the dance floor
There is too much conflict and violence on the dance floor, making social activities unpleasant.
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
Reflecting on the nostalgic period before the town became a ghost town, reminiscing about better times.
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown
Recalling joyful moments of dancing and singing in the past, when the town was lively like a boomtown.
This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
The town continues to deteriorate, resembling a ghost town more and more.
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Questioning why the youth are engaged in internal conflicts and fights.
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
Criticizing the government for neglecting and abandoning the youth, leaving them marginalized.
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
Reiterating the transformation of the place into a ghost town due to various societal issues.
No job to be found in this country
Highlighting the lack of job opportunities in the country, contributing to the town's decline.
Can't go on no more
Expressing the inability to endure the current situation any longer.
The people getting angry
The people in the town are becoming increasingly frustrated and angry.
This town is coming like a ghost town
Repeated emphasis on the town's transformation into a ghost town, underlining the severity of the decline.
This town is coming like a ghost town
-This town is coming like a ghost town
-This town is coming like a ghost town
