Sex Pistols Flip Off Hall of Fame

Since you couldn't send a PM to them about this, how about writing a--oh, I don't know--maybe a poem about it.

 

[bogusbrig]

You just couldn't say it
Not in 1976, not on TV
But they said it

To a nation of outraged parents
Who never actually did it
And whose children
Just somehow, arrived
Unbegat and unrelated to sex

You just couldn't say it
But it made so much sense
Even more when snarled

Out went the blues
Pink Floyd albums were chucked
Hair was cut and peace dumped
We lived in urban squalor
Why pretend we were civilized?

You just couldn't say it
We were brought up with manners
Politeness was the rule
It helped us get along
And kept us in our place

Hippys had dropped out
But hey! We'd never dropped in
We were supposed to be happy
With the little we had

Well FUCK YOU!

Because I knew it would inspire, me mates.
What are you my personal PITA, BTW?

I was hoping your thread was leading to poetry. I have received complaints lately about non poetry threads on the board. I have no way of knowing if your mates are going to be inspired or not to write poetry. The thread gives no clue to whether or not it's a poetry thread. So I made a simple and friendly suggestion, which it seems I didn't need to. But why even bring it up? And you are my Pain In The Ass.

Neil Young says.....

The king is gone but he’s not forgotten
Is this the story of johnny rotten?
It’s better to burn out ’cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten.

I don't know what it is Tess, but when you put it that way, it's so sexy

 

[anonamouse]

inspiring.....
Aren't I?

You should hear me sing it on karaoki night.

You should hear me sing it on karaoki night.

Mind if I lip sync with you?

The scrawled note, posted at thefilthandthefury.co.uk, states in Pistol-ian fashion (sic): "Next to the Sex Pistols, rock and roll and that hall of fame is a piss stain. Your museum. Urine in wine. We're not coming. We're not your monkeys. If you voted for us, hope you noted your reasons. Your anonymous as judges but your still music industry people. We're not coming. Your not paying attention. Outside the shit-stream is a real Sex Pistol."

I suppose he doesn't like critique either?

Slam it up against a wall
beat it 'til it bleeds
a little gunshot wound
to the head's
what a sexy monkey needs

Johnny Rotten's got
a mouth that swishes
round my wine
I guess that means
the rock I love
will gather dust with swine.

Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie

They put a hot wire to my head
Cos of the things I did and said
They made these feelings go away
Model citizen in every way

May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you

Anger is an energy

ha ha ha indeedle-dee deed.

I am not sure if apoem can come from this from me tonight, so so sleepy ate half a bag of licorice to not fall asleep on the road wish I had the energy to be angry

but ha ha ha
google me my history
twenty years past
yeah yeah mother
who's the mother now
who's you mama
and yours and who is going to cut it down bite size
who is going to chew down the two and a half grand
sit at my table tonight?

god you know Johnny Rotten told me
my poetry was too literal
and he told me I looked like that Belinda girl
from the Go-go's and maybe I should stick
with cute mother fucker
stick with the cute look
work with what I got
got a razor mother fucker
carve your name and no not with a fountain pen
Morrissey pussy pussy come here pussy tear drops

yeah yeah Johny Rotten stole my Sun In
Jumped my fense when the parent's were gone
kissed me rough chinned stratches
while our best friends fucked in my bed
yeah yeah Johnny Rotten stole my Sun-In
said pass it round baby pass it round
and sing me that verse bout
two weeks without you and I still
haven't gotten over you yet
I got Johnny in a nipple twist hold
spin me round your fly wheel baby
road race road race trace my tracks
through Manayunk over the bridge
over the bridge
may the road rise to you

Yeah yeah Johnny Rotten
I got a package addressed to you
on the shelf of my childhood room
one of the boroughs of NYC
some place you crashed for the off season
twenty years ago
twenty years ago
Johnny Rotten told me
Jenn, your poetry is too damn literal

 

[bogusbrig]

You can always look back with a jaundiced view but punk was a liberation, it allowed you to say FUCK OFF to the establishment, dump your flares and cut your hair and stick your crotch out at a copper and say, I've got BOLLOCKS!

Hmm Cathy my girlfriend at the time didn't have bollocks though and was too cultured and polite to spit and shout 'fuck off', prefering to speak with a nice cut glass accent that said daddy had a lot of money but she was pretty loose and a revelation in bed (at least for someone of my age at the time).
