IN 1977 I LIVED IN PUNK ROCK HEAVEN
PLAYED ALL MY RECORDS AT ELEVEN
AND I FORMED A PUNK ROCK BAND WITH KENT
WE DID’NT WANNA HEAR THE BEATLES
‘COS EVERY BEATLE GREW A MOUSTACHE
WE BOUGHT PICTURE SLEEVE SINGLES
BY THE PISTOLS AND THE CLASH
IN 1977 I HAD A DIRT CHEAP LES PAUL
I LEARNED A ‘E MINOR 7’
BUT IT WASN’T ANY USE AT ALL
‘COS ALL THE SONGS HAD THREE CHORDS
AND WE SANG ABOUT BEING BORED
WE THOUGHT WE LOOKED AND SOUNDED COOL
BUT IN THE MORNING WE WENT BACK TO SCHOOL
IN 1977 – 1977
I LIVED IN PUNK ROCK HEAVEN – IN 1977
WE WENT TO SATURDAY NIGHT PARTIES
WITH ALL THE BEER WE COULD CARRY
I DATED JACQUELINE JOLLY
BUT I WANTED DEBORAH HARRY
IN 1977 I LOVED THE FASHION AND THE NOISE
BUT EVEN DOWN IN DEVON
THERE WERE DISENCHANTED TEDDY BOYS
I HAD TO JUSTIFY MY MUSIC TO A ROCK’N’ROLL EVANGELIST
I SAID IN 1977 KID
IT’S GONNA BYE BYE ELVIS
