About This Track
'Special Cases' by Massive Attack is an Electronica track from the album '100th Window' (2002). The lyrics set up a pointed, admonishing address, urging personal accountability and scepticism about blaming a partner for everything, before widening to a wider view of the world’s distress. There’s a recurring insistence that you should look at your own conduct first, then ask whether the man in question really deserves the goodwill you hope for, rather than living on excuses. The emotional register is corrective and wary, captured in the line, “Ask yourself, is he one of”.

About the Artist
Lyrics
Don't tell your man what he don't do right Nor tell him all the things that make you cry But check yourself for your own shit And don't be making out like it's all his Take a look around the world You see such bad things happening There are many good men Ask yourself, is he one of them? The deadliest of sin is pride Make you feel like you're always right But there are always two sides It takes two to make love, two to make a life Take a look around the world You see such mad things happening There the few good men Thank your lucky stars that he's one of them
