Submission Lyrics

I'm on a submarine mission for you baby
I feel the way you were going
I picked you up on my TV screen
I feel you under current flowing

Submission going down down
dragging me down
Submission I can't tell ya
what I found

You've got me pretty deep baby
I can't figure out your watery love
I got to solve your mystery
You're sitting it out in heaven above

For there's a mystery
Under the sea
Under the water
cos it's a secret

Submission falling down down under the sea
I wanna drown drown under the water
going down down under the sea...

malcolm thought it would be cool to write a song called Submission, and it would be about S+M and bondage and be very contraversial. the rest of the band, thinking malcolm was a tosser decided to write about a submarine mission just to piss him off.

@petethefool I bet Malcolm was not such a stupid koont that he couldn't spell "controversial". Tosser.

My favorite song by Sex Pistols.So deep.Pure Jungian stuff,really.And I like 'em when they play slooow, punk is not a matter of speed (no pun intended.)

@dorareever as a fan you disappoint me - this turgid piece of idiocy was merely a managerial obligation and it shows - whoever wrote it [and it was most obviously Rotten] had absolutely NO grasp of language, metaphor, meaning or insight [no pun intended]

@exobscura Dude, chill.

I don't care if somebody else played the same riff in another song, its friggin' rock and roll, everybody borrows a little from everybody. I'm not a big punk fan but I love this song a lot. I love the attitude of the Sex Pistols, or I should say I did when I was a kid. Ha, ha for some reason I always get riled up when I hear this one. Anybody want a punch in the face? ;)

Supposedly, the Sex Pistols' manager told them to write a song about submission, expecting a song about S&M type stuff. Instead, they wrote about a submarine mission just to piss him off.

@elcapitanloco

I wouldn't believe what anybody that had ANYTHING to do with Sex Pistols says - which you obviously DO

@exobscura What?
