Court in session.
What do you mean
'Oy oy oy'? Must have court in session.
Order. 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 defense?
I was walking down the street one night
When I saw her silhouette in her bathroom light
Her way of life may be nothing to hide
With her frosted glass shattered, curtains open wide
Naked woman, naked man,
Where did you get that nice sun tan?
You live in a castle built of sand
Naked woman, naked man...
Naked from your bath,
You go naked to your bed
And I can't stop the hatred
Running through my head
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?
He wanted to be something but she knows he never will
She's got him where she wanted
And forgot to take her pill
And he thinks that
She'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies
If that's a happy marriage
I'd prefer to be unhappy!
Married woman, married man...
Where did you get that family plan?
Mrs. Ewe and Mr. Ram
Where did you get that lovely lamb?
Naked woman, naked man,
where did you get that nice sun tan?
(Order in my courtroom)
Naked woman, naked man,
where did you get that nice sun tan?
(Hush up)
Naked woman, naked man,
where did you get that nice sun tan?
(Take him away)

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 group was formed by songwriter/keyboardist Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall (vocals), Lynval Golding (guitar, vocals) and a rhythm section. 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! EP, reached number one in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single Ghost Town also hit number one in the UK Singles Chart. After seven consecutive UK Top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, the band broke up. In 2008, it was announced that the band would reform and embark on a 30th anniversary tour in 2009. In 2010, they toured America and Europe. In 2011 , they are again touring the UK with a new 2011 Tour.

SUMMARY
=======
Birmingham ( (listen), locally also: ) is the second-most populous city in the United Kingdom, after London, and the most populous city in the English Midlands. It is also the most populous metropolitan district in the United Kingdom, with an estimated 1,137,123 inhabitants, and is considered the social, cultural, financial, and commercial centre of the Midlands. It is the main local government of the West Midlands conurbation, which is the third most populated urban area in the United Kingdom, with a population of 2,897,303 in 2017. The wider Birmingham metropolitan area is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a population of over 4.3 million. It is frequently referred to as the United Kingdom's second city.A market town in the medieval period, Birmingham grew in the 18th-century Midlands Enlightenment and subsequent Industrial Revolution, which saw advances in science, technology, and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society. By 1791 it was being hailed as the first manufacturing town in the world. Birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation and provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century. The Watt steam engine was invented in Birmingham.The resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from Thomas Attwood to Joseph Chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in Britain outside London, and a pivotal role in the development of British democracy. From the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, Birmingham was bombed heavily by the German Luftwaffe in what is known as the Birmingham Blitz. The damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.
Birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector. The city is a major international commercial centre, ranked as a beta- world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network the joint highest ranking with Edinburgh and Manchester of all British cities outside of London; and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub. Its metropolitan economy is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a GDP of $121.1bn (2014), and its six universities make it the largest centre of higher educat ...
Aston Villa F.C.
Aston Villa Football Club (/ˈæstən ˈvɪllə/; also known as Villa, The Villa, The Villans and The Lions) is an English professional association football club based in Witton, Birmingham. The club was founded in 1874 and has played at their current home ground, Villa Park, since 1897. Aston Villa were founder members of The Football League in 1888. They were also founder members of the Premier League in 1992, and have remained there ever since. The club was floated by the previous owner and chairman Doug Ellis, but in 2006 full control of the club was acquired by American businessman Randy Lerner.
Aston Villa is one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in the history of English football. They have the fourth highest total of major honours won by an English club, having won the First Division Championship seven times (most recently in the 1980-81 season), the FA Cup seven times (last won in 1957), the Football League Cup five times (last won in 1996) and the UEFA Super Cup in 1982. Villa also won the 1981--82 European Cup, and are thus one of five English clubs to win what is now the UEFA Champions League.

SUMMARY
=======
The Unification movement or Unificationism, also called the Unification Church (UC), is a worldwide new religious movement. Its members are colloquially called Moonies. It was officially founded under the name Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity (HSA-UWC) in Seoul, South Korea, in 1954, by Sun Myung Moon, a Korean religious leader also known for his business ventures and engagement in social and political causes. In 1994 the HSA-UWC was replaced by Moon with a new organization, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification (FFWPU).The beliefs of the movement are based on Moon's book Divine Principle, which incorporates Christian teachings but differs on some points including its view of Jesus and its introduction of the concept of indemnity. Unification movement ceremonies include unique funeral and wedding ceremonies.The movement is a spiritually-based movement of legally independent organizations, including business, educational, political, and other types of organizations. It has received strong criticism and has attracted numerous controversies, including that of being a dangerous cult. Its involvement in politics has also been criticized. Its beliefs have been criticized by both Jewish and Christian scholars.
