RIP Terry Hall. Had to come here for Rico's extended solo. Song deserves to be heard in its full glory.

In South Africa on 5FM, Barney Simon always played this version, without announcing it was a 12". I was disappointed when i bought the 7" and the long tail-end was missing. Got it on CD, later though.

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, and the music played in a de 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

I always thought this song was great to listen to around Halloween. I keep thinking about a literal ghost town unoccupied on a cold overcast day. Night's about to fall and a very windy storm about to move in. And some lonely guy standing on the roof of a tall office building...surreal, very atmospheric song

Trombone always reminds me of the band member who shows up late and "slopy drunk" to the gig, and, barely pulls it off in the most edgy and pleasant way. If the t-bone player is good, you feel slightly defiled by his lack of discretion.
