I'm surprised no one's commented on this song. lyrically, it's a grim fantasy about receiving a corneal transplant from executed killer Gary Gilmore who, following a murderous binge, begged for death and was the last man to be killed by Utah's firing squad. musically, it's the Yardbirds "For Your Love" and, in many ways, is the best summation of the punk rock spirit: a nod to the style of earlier rock, updated and re-contextualized with a particularly virulent lyrical nihilism. truly brilliant.

Actually, Gilmore isn't the last person to be shot in Utah. There were firing squad executions in 1996 and 2010.
