The Sensational Alex Harvey Band – The Faith Healer Lyrics	22 years ago
I always used to think this was a song about having the horn and needing a 'cure'. great track.

submissions

The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter Lyrics	22 years ago
...it's just a shot away. dead pan delivery contrasting those high pitched harmonies that shoot through the vains. great track.

submissions

The Stranglers – Golden Brown Lyrics	22 years ago
I canny believe that there's only 2 stranglers songs on the list. more required.

The Damned – New Rose Lyrics	22 years ago
first punk single to break into the uk top 40. I loved this track and the album (and the sleeve).

submissions

Sex Pistols – Pretty Vacant Lyrics	22 years ago
my first punk single, bought at the same time as 'gary gilmour's eyes' by the adverts. still a good track.

submissions

Talking Heads – Psycho Killer Lyrics	22 years ago
some people may make the punk analogy because sire records released this single (7" and 12") at the same time as the ramones rockaway beach and the dead boys sonic reducer in '77. great track, very original, but hard as hell to play on acoustic.

submissions

Ramones – Rockaway Beach Lyrics	22 years ago
great new wave sound, even suggests a hint of beach boys buried under there. love it and miss my youth.

submissions

The Clash – Capital Radio Lyrics	22 years ago
capital radio was a pirate station (now legal), i make the dr. goebbels association with the fascist-like demonisation of the pirate stations. how can anybody party to state sponsored rock'n'roll!

submissions

The Clash – London Calling Lyrics	22 years ago
london was burning, this time it's drowning. strikes in the late 1970's, blandness, boredom, apathy...if you don't like it, get out there and do something about it.

submissions

The Clash – Pressure Drop Lyrics	22 years ago
aye, jimmy cliff/toots and the maytals are the originals. so simple and excellent wee track.

submissions

Sex Pistols – EMI Lyrics	22 years ago
you are spot on rich m. the pistols did record a version of gstq on a & m, apparantly a few very rare copies around, but be prepared to pay very highly for one. no way were the pistols going to become stooges for commercial mass production.

submissions

Sex Pistols – God Save the Queen Lyrics	22 years ago
there's a lot of comments about sid vicious here. i find this a bit odd as he wasn't with the band when they wrote this (matlock/rotten mainly wrote it).

submissions

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band – Next Lyrics	22 years ago
first experiences leave a lasting impression

submissions

Stiff Little Fingers – Alternative Ulster Lyrics	22 years ago
the rawness, anger, and frustration of being brought up during the troubles in Belfast is channelled brilliantly. powerful album too.

submissions

Dead Boys – Sonic Reducer Lyrics	22 years ago
a sonic reducer? something that makes this lowly, downed teenager a 'somebody', maybe he is (probably a he) imagining or wishing he had it. i don't recognise the lines with 'no pretty face' and 'no human race', i always thought it was 'no good advice' and 'no human rights'.
