I read somewhere this was supposed to be about the Sex Pistols, but it always given me the impressiion as being about Idol seeing a group of Punks and the vibe he got from them or about experiencing Punks on the street in general. Easily the best track on their 2nd LP and one of the best things they ever did. |

This is odd, I was certain the song to be about their experiences with the music press, the line "You're drunk, you're drunk yet you' re balancing the scales" is in reference to how they were treated by people like Julie Burchill etc. It would seem unlikely that a line like that could refer to school children. |

Punk's answer to "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", a declaration to the inavoidable pervasiveness of synthetic materials in the contemporary lifestyle idiom. Didn't Poly Styrene have a kind of like/dislike for the materials mentioned in the lyrics ?
They looked fantastic doing this on Top Of The Pops, coming across much better than Sham 69, PIL, Siouxsie etc. |
