Sometimes people say "how are you today"? and I just say "oh yeah fine thanks"? or I say "same as ever "? or whatever, when really I feel like saying, well you know... Whenever I feel this way I see Sid Vicious singing "my way". The part where the audience are clapping and he pulls out a shooter and begins firing. All the Audience are dressed in their finest garbs and jewlery. The woman with a bunch of white roses and a trickle of red blood stemming from her mouth. slumped against her dead husband. Then Sid, the excellent sid, the great sid vicious turns begins to walk back toward the steps from which he descended and turns again to flick a vee sign at us - the sign that says Fuck off - rather than victory. with the orchestra sounds all slowing down as though a record had been slowed. Sid viscious sat in a deckchair in the park as the interviewer asked him to say something about who sid viscious is. Its a blazing hot day. The 16 year old said "If I get into a fight i like to headbutt people and then I kick em in the head while theyre on the ground" Go forward 2 years to when sid gets a pint glass and jabs it into his chest chest pouring with blood. Some American guy who didnt understand it gets on the stage and starts hassling viscious. viscious smacks him in the face with a bass guitar and breaks the guys nose. John Lydon - Johnny Rotten smartest of them all. When I feel like this I see john Lydon at the end of the sex pistols when he just couldnt go on, he sings "I am an anti christ I am an anarchist dont know what I want but I know how to get it I want to destroy possibly because I want to be anarchist get pissed destroy" At the end of that song he kneels with one knee on the ground and says "You ever get the feeling you been cheated"? move back slightly in time - Johny boy full of enthusiasm singing about how sex levells people to an animal state She was a girl from birmingham She just had an abortion She was a case of insanity Her name was pauline she lived in a tree She was a no one who killed her baby he sent her letters from the country She was an animal she was a bloody disgrace bodies Im not an animal Bo-o-d-ies Im not an animal Dragged on a table in factory Illegitimate place to be In a packet in a lavatory Die little baby screaming fucking bloody mess Its not an animal its an abortion Bodies Im not animal Mummy Im not an abortion I'm not an animal an animal bodies I'm not an animal so I feel like this - I'm not an animal. Immediately after I see how he really meant it - really did make the last british cultural revolution. something no american can understand is just how 1 band like this made a difference to society. Its hard to believe if you werent born at that time or were too young to understand it but to anyone that knew. well the old ways went and it was because they shocked our culture out of its complacency with two songs . REALLY it was a revolution in culture in politics in media - all started like this So if you want to know how I'm feeling well its just that way really - so how are you today, mrs jones?
I was feeling fine till I read all this. Now I just want to kick something. Did you hear about the WPC who stopped a man on the escalator in Baker Street Station yesterday and told him that the cricketball he was carrying was a potential weapon? Not in the England cricket team's hands it ain't, that's for sure! But I reckon some of those Sid lyrics above have more than a hint of prophecy about them. We really are getting sold down the Swanee.
it was lydon that wrote and sung all the lyrics but I love the line - your future dream is a shopping scheme sounds like the internet dont it? and as for britain being a council tennancy - looks like the landlords calling in the rent right now huh? BTW theres a lanky midget in the forums I swear it go and do a membersearch on hip - and search for lankymidget maybe theyd like to join your midget discussion group
Thanks, perhaps I'll do a bit of talent-scouting later. Midgets are difficult to spot, because they move their feet very rapidly and they can pass you faster than a rabbit. The lyrics above may look mental, but they are spot on!
How did I miss this? I wish I believed Sex Pistols to have been as satyrical as everybody seems to think they were, but honestly, it might have been new, but it wasn't original..
