...with the same old sh*te they've been coming out with since they learned how to ****pass wind**** (more censorship for Ciao!). If this sounds like you, you might like it. THE BO**OCKS ***************** 1. The Sex Pistols were NOT the first Punk Band. I cite Blondie, The Ramones (the Ramones were, i believe, even calling themselves "Punks" by 1975) et al, who were playing CBGB's and the Whisky-A-Go-Go in New York in the mid-70's, and before them a direct line can be drawn back to Iggy Pop and The Velvet Underground. It was when Malcolm McClaren saw these bands, and especially the New York Dolls (who i have always thought are a load of rubbish, but there you go), that he got the idea of bringing this feeling/concept/irreverance to England. 2.

The lyrics smack (no pun intended) of someone who's perpetually high on drugs and has a permanent glazed 'the lights are on but there's no one at home' expression on their face. "There's no point in asking you'll get no reply. Oh just remember I don't decide. I got no reason, it's all too much. You'll always find us out to lunch" What really gets me about this song though, is the chorus.
