JR is virtually foaming at the mouth by the end of this one. Yes it’s a diss track but all that sound and fury is more of a blast at the attitudes he thinks are common in the satellite towns around London, than at the woman herself. It’s anti-complacency, anti-hypocrisy, anti- aspiring to a comfortable lifestyle, anti- people pretending to be what they’re not. I was growing up in one of those towns at the time, was a Pistols fan, bought ‘Anarchy’ when it first came out etc, and now think he had a point but was only half right. It’s still one of my favourite Pistols tracks though... it’s relentless!!
