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!

It's too late now
It's twenty past two
I spent the night just watchin' you
I watched you dance

I watched you move
Can't breath and still I watched you move away
Now I think quite a lot as I stare at my shoes
About all these things that I put myself through

Now there's nothing to say
And there's nothing to do
You're just too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to

You're too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
The Radcliffs wouldn't come after you
I glance but you just stared me through

Felt such a fool I felt you knew
But you might tell me to go away
Now I think quite a lot of my own point of view
Is that all I have that's in common with you

EMOTIONS SO GUARDED
My heart is retarded
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to

You're too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
This evening hasn't gone like I planned

Should I take the situation in hand
Can't go on but I can't seem to dance
You chain my feet
I stamp and stamp and stamp

Because nothing I do ever seems to be right
The same dance of mine
Every Saturday night
Out the window

You might say I'm out of of my mind
But you're too nice to talk to
Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to

Too nice to talk to
You're too nice to talk to
Too nice!
