---------------------................ *from 'The Specials' (1979)* Intro: (Spoken)
(n.C)
 Court in session. What do you mean; "Oi, oi, oi"?
Must have court in session. Order. (Spoken over E A B): My name is Judge Roughneck, And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom. Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me, And charged with smashing this woman's window. Before I sentence you; what have you got to say in your defence? Verse 1:
      E                A           B
I was walking down the street, one night,

       E                       A        B
When I saw her silhouette in a bathroom light.

E                       A          B
 Her way of life, baby; nothing to hide,

         E                                A    B
With her frosted glass shattered curtains open wide.
Chorus 1:
D      A      C     G
 Naked woman, naked man,

D              A        C        G
 Where did you get that nice sun-tan?

    D         A      C        G
You live in a castle built of sand,

D      A      C     G
 Naked woman, naked man.
Break:
(n.C)
 Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed.
And I can't stop the hatred running through my head. Solo: E A B (x6) Break: (Spoken over E A B): Silence in court. Order. Rude boy, you have led me to believe, That you was going out with a girl, And she left you and married someone else. So you got drunk and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property. I have come to one conclusion; That is to sentence you to five months in prison. Before they take you down to the cells, What have you got to say for yourself? Verse 3:
   E                               A              B
He wanted to be something, but she knows he never will.

      E                                A               B
She's got him where she wanted and for-got to take her pill.

       E                                      A               B
And he thinks that she'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies,

   E                                A   Bb B (n.C)
If that's a happy marriage; I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
