    One of the great British Bands of the punk movement
    is in danger of being forgotten. I rarely hear them mentioned these days
    and I have met no-one except original punks who have their records
    I thought I would post one of their songs (just the lyrics)
    so you could see that they had the spirit of punk with them.
    If there are any XRAY SPEX fans out there let me know here !
    This is called "germ free adolescence"

    I know your antiseptic
    Your deodorant smells nice
    I'd like to get to know you
    You're deep frozen like the ice

    -chorus-:
    She's a germ free adolescent
    Cleanliness is her obsession
    Cleans her teeth ten times a day
    Scrub away scrub away scrub away
    The S.R. way....

    You may get to touch her
    If your gloves are sterilised
    Rinse your mouth with listerine
    Blow disinfectant in her eyes

    -chorus-

    Her phobia is infection
    She needs one to survive
    It's her built-in protection
    Without fear she'd give up and die

    -chorus-

    She's a germ free adolescent
    Cleanliness is her obsession
    ^^(x4)^^
    Cleans her teeth ten times a day
    Scrub away scrub away scrub away
    The S.R. way....

    They sure are good.
    The whole 'Germ Free Adolescents' album is quality punk rock.
    'Oh Bondage' 'The World Turned Day-Glo' etc
    Great live show as well.
    They still do the occasional gig in the U.K.
    Not sure who's in the band these days tho, must be about 15 years since i seen them.

    oh yes indeed, i too love that sax
    Freedom tried to strangle me
    With my plastic popper beads
    But I hit him back
    With my pet rat
    Yeah I hit him back
    With my pet rat

    more punk rock bands should have saxes, horns are hardcore man
    speaking of such.. adam and the ants, friend or foe has horns
