    Lyrics:
    It must be wonderful to live like you do
    To have respect from everyone that you know
    To have surprises waiting outside your door
    When you come home to answer your telephone
    He who knocks is he that missed
    The 'Don't Disturb' sign on the door
    And he who call this, he that dropped
    Invitations on the floor
    Sitting down and switching on
    The wooden box, the door is locked
    Switching off the world outside
    The party's over for the night
    It must be wonderful to live like you do
    To have respect from everyone that you know
    To have surprises waiting outside your door
    When you come home to answer your telephone
    The telephone starts to ring, it rings
    The 5-piece doorbell starts to chime
    The liquid clock burst into song
    It's out of tune, the timing's wrong
    It must be wonderful to live like you do
    To have respect from everyone that you know
    To have surprises waiting outside your door
    When you come home to answer your telephone
    It must be wonderful to live like you do
    To have respect from everyone that you know
    To have surprises waiting outside your door
    When you come home to answer your telephone
    Lying down and soaking in
    The bubble bath, the door is locked
    Switching off the world outside
    The party's over for the night
    It must be wonderful to live like you do
    To have respect from everyone that you know
    To have surprises waiting outside your door
    When you come home to answer your telephone
    It must be wonderful to live like you do
    To have respect from everyone that you know
    To have surprises waiting outside your door
    When you come home to answer your telephone
    It must be wonderful to live like you do
    To have respect from everyone that you know
    To have surprises waiting outside your door

    I am poleaxed by the death of Terry Hall, he was the voice of our generation, standing stock still in the middle of the stage with his deadpan face while the crowd went wild for The Specials/FB3
    This song is one of the best of the FB3 era, I can't get it out of my head.
    63 is no age at all, it is unbelievable that he is gone
    RIP Terry Hall your music will live forever in our hearts and heads

    RIP Terry. This song was my gateway to being introduced to The Specials and as such I'll always consider it one of the songs that let me know I was more into alternative/ska/punk than I could have imagined at the time. You will be greatly missed.

      @@lennonmoir6531 Terry Hall's work (his recordings, his videos and his albums) are still with us and readily available. People in the future who are not yet born will discover Terry for the first time - and he will live anew. So, 'has' is very appropriate here, I think.
      One wouldn't write: "Pope wrote an excellent line here." if one was writing an academic essay on Pope and his poetry. One would stick to the present tense: "Pope writes/has written..." , not the past tense.

    Still love this and it still sounds as good in 2022 as when it played in 1982. I found the Fun Boy Three first LP when I was having a sort out in my box room, during lockdown 2020, ahhh the memories it brought back. I even wanted my hair style like his in 82 but the hairdresser at the time Pierre Alexander hair salon, Manchester, made a pig's ear of it. Thanks for your music Mr Hall, RIP, you was the spokesperson for my youth in the 70s/early 80s and a very talented musician.
