Listening face down
It’s just occurred to me that Rebels Without Applause has echos of I Remember Punk Rock by Vic Reeves.
Sorry if this has already been pointed out.
You know I remember punk rock
Like it was only yesterday
Oh, Mr. Buzzcock on my shoulder
Singing in that extra-special way
Yes, I remember punk rock
And I recall all those melodies
By The Clash, The Adverts, Wire, Eater
Not to mention ATV
Well, The Generation X sang so sweetly
Whilst the Pistols ate their lunch
The Damned had tea with The Lurkers
Whilst X-Ray Spex enjoyed brunch
You know, I remember punk rock
Like it was only yesterday
Oh, Mr. Buzzcock on my shoulder
Singing in that extra-special way
[Instrumental break]
[Whistling]
Well, The Vibrators sang so tenderly
Whilst 999 had soup
Richard Hell had The Slits round for coffee
And Slaughter and The Dogs 'round too
Well, I remember punk rock
Like it was only yesterday
Oh, Mr. Buzzcock on my shoulder
Singing in that extra-special way
Sorry if this has already been pointed out.
