| Sheena Easton – 9 to 5 Lyrics

It’s also not by Sheena Easton. This is the Dolly Parton song. 9 to 5 by Sheena Easton was called “Morning Train” in the US to avoid such confusion. |

Great depressing song...not sure what it's about but brilliantly moody and full of doom - think we all feel like that at sometime. |

| Simon and Garfunkel – Leaves That Are Green Lyrics

I only found out recently that Billy Bragg had nicked the first 2 lines from Paul Simon. An admirer of Mr Bragg as I am, I think these lyrics belong in this song far more than they do in "A New England".
The only criticism I would give is that the music is a little too "happy" for the lyrics, and doesn't give much sense of the mood, which I think should be, at best, melancholy. After all, getting old is pretty depressing!
"Hazy Shade Of Winter" perfectly describes the life process and its music sets the exact scene whereas the music and lyrics seem to contradict themselves in this song. |

Well I don't know about that Kfe2, I've listened to my version and it clearly says "mad punk rockers". Dunno if we have different versions or if one or more of us need ear surgery.. |

Ok...Maybe I'm being a little pedantic. but I prefer the original Run DMC (1984) version. The lyrics make more sense in this context, rather than the danced up 90s mix by Jason Nevins. Classic old school rap! |

Better lyrics than I could have done Riviera! I'm going with "sink like subs" rather than "sing like surfs" though. Will we ever know? And does it really matter? |

Totally agree. I can't believe the lack of posts on all Stevie Wonder's songs. Yes he's done some dodgy tracks, but this (in my opinion) is by far his best. An excellent song. Shame his optimism about Zimbabwe was a little off target. |

This song has been covered by a variety of mainstream artists...from Harry Belafonte to The Pogues and Elton John. Best version in my opinion though was by the Beach Boys (which reached no. 5 in the UK) shortly after CCR had their version out. |

P2P malicious? Illegal mostly I agree, and I of course would never condone sharing copyrighted material, but isn't this just the big boy music industry getting its come-uppance? P2P - Power to the people. |

Battersea Park - 1978 I think. A live and fairly infamous performance with several strippers (mostly female, but male too) on stage. Was considered pretty risque and un-pc at the time so god knows what they've think of it now. You should be able to pick up a copy of it somewhere. |

The original song is about 150 verses long! This shortened version sung by the god who is Steve Jones. At least he didn't sell out like certain others... |

One of my favourite Stranglers songs...vaguely offensive and I'm fairly sure JJB would admit it is lyrically meaningless. Still it is a great song. |

Girl at the beginning of the film was a Sue Catwoman "look-a-like". This song was a relic of Mclaren's 1st attempt at producing a Sex Pistols film - "Who Killed Bambi" - sung on The Swindle by Eddie Tenpole. |

A Max Bygraves song wasn't it? Just Mclaren (who admittedly doesn't have THAT bad a voice) filling in a few voids in the film. |
