- Ghost Town LyricsThis 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
(A-la-la ...)
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
(A-la-la ...)
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
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
(A-la-la ...)
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?
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
(A-la-la ...)
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

When we take a closer look at its interpretation, the Specials' song 'Ghost Town' shares the view of a deserted town with no nightlife, no work, and young people fighting, showcasing a society that is gradually declining and going through turmoil. The lyrics are reminiscent of the past and in that manner they express the feelings of the people living in a ghost town - they are frustrated and angry because of their miserable living conditions near a town which has been and is still through a glorious past. Besides, they are painfully nostalgic for better days. The song puts forth social commentary, despair, angst, rage, and nostalgia as the main subjects. In a way, it also means that despair and decline, the youth fights, and nostalgia for better times are seen as being the same. The lyrics deal with issues related to social unrest and the frustration that goes with it which make kids under the age of sixteen to be accompanied by their parents when listening to this record. On the other hand, the absence of profanity, violence, or any adult themes that would necessitate a higher rating is also noted.
