It's about going to a show and watching the scene unfold. The "Rude Boys" were followers of the two-tone Ska movement, and they had a distinctive style of dress, wearing white shirts, black coats and skinny ties, often with a fedora and sunglasses to complete the look. In this song, the Punks and Skinheads watch the Rude Boys until the inevitable fight breaks out.
