This Devo tune is obviously about bulimia: "Got an urge, got a surge, and it's outta control now Got an urge, I want to purge, 'cause I'm losing control..." |

| Public Image Ltd. – Seattle Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
From a 2015 interview with John Lydon in Seattle's Stranger magazine: Q: I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you about the song "Seattle" and your relationship to the city. [It's often said to be a rebuke to the band Green River, who opened for PIL in 1985, but the lyrics don't reflect anything specific.] A: Well, we had a week off in the tour for some reason, due to gig rearrangements and/or whatever, and I flew back to LA, but the band hung out in Seattle and they started jamming about and rehearsing and started putting together a really catchy tune. So I flew up, and the words just flowed out instantly. It's a great song. The subject is about rioting, really, and when you see them World Trade Organization riots, it's kind of appropriate. It's an homage to Seattle, a town that's never done us any harm. A town we feel quite warm about... great atmosphere, the gigs are always amazing. It feels like home to me. https://www.thestranger.com/music/feature/2015/11/18/23158487/john-lydon-is-still-angry |
