DRUMBEAT

Ah!

# I got a feeling inside of me

# It's kind of strange like a stormy sea

# I don't know why I don't know why

# I guess these things have got to be

# I've got a new rose I've got her good

# Guess I knew that I always would

# I can't stop to mess around

# I've got a brand new rose in town

# See the sun See the sun it shines

# Don't get too close or it will burn your eyes

# Don't you run away that way

# You can come back another day

# I got a new rose I got her good

# Guess I knew that I always would

# I can't stop to mess around

# I've got a brand new rose in town

# I never thought this could happen to me

# I feel so strange Oh, why should it be?

# I don't deserve somebody this great

# I'd better go or it will be too late... #

Ah!

GUITAR SOLO

Ah!

# I've got a feeling inside of me

# It's kind of strange like a stormy sea

# I don't know why I don't know why

# I guess these things have got to be

# I've got a new rose I've got her good

# Guess I knew that I always would

# I can't stop to mess around

# I've got a brand new rose in town. #

Ugh!

# Come and join us, we're the young nation

# Come on and join us on Nationwide. #

# I am an anti-christ

# I am an anarchist

# Don't know what I want but I know how to get it

# I want to destroy passer-by

# Because I want to be

# Anarchy!

# No dogsbody... #

'Well, it may not be the greatest rock 'n' roll in the world,

'but it's certainly the most controversial.

'One London newspaper called them

'"the most aggressive, nasty band ever."

'They're the Sex Pistols, and they're led by Johnny Rotten.

'They've already been barred from most leading London clubs,

'both because of their music and because of the violence

'they bring with them.'

And yet this group are leaders of a whole new teenage cult

that seems to be on the way

to being as big as mods and rockers were in the '60s.

The cult is called punk, the music, punk rock.

Basic rock music, raw, outrageous and crude, like their fan magazine,

Sniffin' Glue, which is produced

and stapled together by two young punks from Deptford.

Punks have multi-coloured hair, vampire make-up,

ripped T-shirts held together with safety pins,

swastika armbands, pink plastic trousers and tight leather jeans.

# I want to be

# Anarchy! #

# I want to be

# Anarchy! #

Anarchy In The UK, the latest single by the Sex Pistols.

Malcolm McLaren, you discovered and managed the group.

Now what about the accusation you're more into chaos than anything else?

Well, that's an accusation by people

who really don't understand what kids want.

# This is a modern world

# What kind of fool do you think I am?

# You think I know nothing of the modern world

# All my life has been the same

# I've learned to live by hate and pain

# It's my inspiration drive

# I've learned more than you will ever know

# Even at school I felt quite sure

# That one day I would be on top

# And I'd look down upon the map

# The teachers who said I'd be the failure

# This is the modern world that I've learned about

# This is the modern world We don't need no-one

# To tell us what's right or wrong

# This is a modern world!

# Say what you like Cos I don't care

# I know where I am and going to

# It's somewhere I won't preview

# Don't have to explain myself to you

# I don't give a damn about your review

# This is the modern world that I've learned about

# This is the modern world We don't need no-one

# To tell us what's right or wrong

# Modern world, this is, this is, this is

# This is, this is, this is

# And we don't need no one

# To tell us what's right or wrong

# Ah

# This is the modern world

# This is the modern world. #

I offered to make the clothes

that she wants to wear at these punk rock concerts,

because if she had to have them made,

she'd have to pay quite a lot of money for them,

which she can't really afford.

Can you do something about the top of them?

Because when I go out in them, they keep coming down, the zip.

That's why I have to keep putting them pins in them.

-I want them tighter and all.

-I'm not making them any tighter.

-You have to, look!

-You won't be able to sit down if I make them tighter.

They keep going slack when I'm wearing them, cos I'm sweating.

# A teenage dream's so hard to beat

# Every time she walks down the street

# Another girl in the neighbourhood

# Wish she was mine she looks so good

# I want to hold her Want to hold her tight

# Get teenage kicks right through the night

# I'm going to call her on the telephone

# Have her over cos I'm all alone

# I need excitement Oh, I need it bad

# And it's the best I've ever had

# I want to hold her Want to hold her tight

# Get teenage kicks right through the night

# All right!

# A teenage dream's so hard to beat

# Every time she walks down the street

# Another girl in the neighbourhood

# Wish she was mine She looks so good

# I want to hold her Want to hold her tight

# Get teenage kicks right through the night

# I'm going to call her on the telephone

# Have her over cos I'm all alone

APPLAUSE

# Hold tight

# Now we're on our own

# Cue light

-# Now it's ready to roll

-Tonight

# How I waited for Aggravated for years

# It's fun

# Oh, I just can't wait

# Hold on

-# Do I look up-to-date?

-You're on

# I'll do anything If that's the right thing to see

# Doesn't matter what is shown

# Just as long as everyone knows

# What is selling, what to buy

# The stock market for your hi-fi

# Take the money

# Leave the box

# Everybody's on Top Of The Pops

# There's one

# Born every day

# Sing song

-# And then they fade away

-Ding-dong

# What's the future in the pop music industry?

# All right

# So you make the grade

# Hold tight

-# To the buck you've made

-Just wait

# You've been rated for constipated peak viewing time

# Doesn't matter how it goes

# Just as long as everyone knows

# What's in fashion, what is seen

# On the front of a television screen

# Take the money

# Leave the box

# Everybody's on Top Of The Pops

# Hey!

# Hey!

# Eugh!

# Hold tight

# Now we're on our own

# Cue light

-# Now it's ready to roll

-Tonight

# How I waited for Aggravated for years... #

When you're doing one of your shows,

-you change costume for every number, don't you?

-That's right.

I think people like to see something

that you wouldn't, perhaps, wear in the street, on the stage.

Shirley, you told me to go and look at the punk rock scene.

Hello, Mr Nimmo.

What's actually wrong with what I'm wearing?

-Mate, you look so bloody boring, I cannot believe it.

-I agree with you.

It's a question of how you feel. The point is to change yourself...

But why? Why does one have to change?

-Because then you'll feel great.

-Do you think?

Well, I've heard, but I'd like to see.

LAUGHTER

# You disturb my natural emotions

# You make me feel I'm dirt And I'm hurt

# And if I start a commotion

# I run the risk of losing you And that's worse

# Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?

# I can't see much of a future

# Unless we find out what's to blame What a shame

# And we won't be together much longer

# Unless we realise that we are the same

# Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?

# You disturb my natural emotions

# You make me feel I'm dirt And I'm hurt

# And if I start a commotion

# I'll only end up losing you And that's worse

# Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?

# Ever fallen in love with someone

# Ever fallen in love In love with someone

# Ever fallen in love In love with someone

# You shouldn't have fallen In love with?

# Ever fallen in love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone Ever fallen in love

# In love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?

# Fallen in love with

# Ever fallen in love with someone

# You shouldn't have fallen in love with? #

Come on, Jimmy, who are you going to fight against

when this balloon of yours goes up?

-Forces of anarchy, wreckers of law and order.

-Ah, I see.

Communists, Maoists, Trotskyists, neo-Trotskyists,

crypto-Trotskyists, union leaders, Communist union leaders.

I see.

Atheists, agnostics, long-haired weirdos, short-haired weirdos,

vandals, hooligans, football supporters,

namby-pamby probation officers, rapists, papists, papist rapists.

I see!

Foreign surgeons, headshrinkers who ought to be locked up,

Wedgwood Benn, keg bitter, punk rock, glue-sniffers...

# An' I wanna move the town to the clash city rockers

# You need a little jump of electrical shockers

# You better leave town if you only wanna knock us

# Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers

# See the rate they come down the escalator

# Now listen to the tube train accelerator

# Then you realise that you got to have a purpose

# Place is gonna knock you out sooner or later

# So don't complain

-# About your useless employment

-Oh-oh-oh

-# Jack it in...

-Oh-oh-oh

# ..forever, tonight

# Or shut your mouth

-# And pretend you enjoy it

-Oh-oh-oh

# Think of all...

# ..the money you've got!

# And I want to liquefy everybody gone dry

# Plugged into the aerial I'm closer to the sky

# Burn down the suburb Half-closed eyes

# You won't succeed unless you try

# So don't complain

# About your useless employ

-# Oh-oh-oh

-Jack it in

# Forever tonight

# Or shut your mouth

# Pretend you enjoy it

-# Oh-oh-oh

-Think of all the money you've got

# Yeah, yeah

# I wanna move the town to the clash city rockers

# Need a little jump of electrical shockers

# You better leave town if you only wanna knock us

# Nothin' stands the pressure of the clash city rockers

# Rock rock, clash city rockers

# Rock rock, clash city rockers

# Rock rock, clash city rockers

# Rock rock, clash city rockers. #

My mind is like a switchboard

with crossed and tangled lines,

contended with confusion that it's plugged into my head.

I don't know what's going on, it's the operator's job, not mine,

I said.

# Bind me, tie me Chain me to the wall

# I wanna be a slave for you all

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Chain-store chain-smoke I consume you all

# Chain-gang chain-mail I don't think at all

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

SAXOPHONE SOLO

# Thrash me, crash me Beat me till I fall

# I wanna be a victim for you all

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Bind me, tie me Chain me to the wall

# I wanna be a slave for you all

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Bind me, tie me Chain me to the wall

# I wanna be a slave for you all Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more!

# Oh, bondage, up yours!

# Oh, bondage, no more! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

What kind of creature bore you? Was it some kind of bat?

They can't find a good word for you. But I can...

TOILET FLUSH DROWNS SPEECH

Ah!

# Confusion in her eyes that says it all

# She's lost control

# And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by

# She's lost control

# And she gave away the secrets of her past

# And said I've lost control again

# And of a voice that told her when and where to act

# She said I've lost control again

# And she turned around and took me by the hand

# And said I've lost control again

# How I'll never know just why or understand

# She said I've lost control again

# And she screamed out kicking on her side

# And said I've lost control again

# And seized up on the floor I thought she'd die

# She said I've lost control again

# She's lost control again

# She's lost control

# She's lost control again

# She's lost control

# I had to phone her friend to state my case

# And say she's lost control again

# And she showed up all the errors and mistakes

# And said I've lost control again

# She expressed herself in many different ways

# Until she lost control again

# And walked upon the edge of no escape

# And laughed I've lost control again

# She's lost control again

# She's lost control

# She's lost control again

# She's lost control. #
