    Lyric wise Poly is brilliant, check her last LP, still the the same concerns. People said punks were stupid, but they didn't listen. They should have listened, and maybe then learned. Poly knew the future esp. about consumerism. Dumb arses didn't listen, so we got what we got!!

    This LP is a masterpiece. Before they came along, if you told anyone a saxophone could work in punk rock, they would have thought you were nuts.

    • @j.c7719
      @j.c7719 Před měsícem

      “Move On Fast” Yoko Ono, 1973. They thought she was nuts though and punk hadn’t been invented yet but it was proto-punk, so your point still stands.

      Yes, You're right, it can work...as with X-ray Spex, Essential Logic and (my favourites) The Cravats.Their 1980 LP "In Toytown" is ace!

    Just can’t stop watching this, it’s amazing I knew about this group before but never listened to any of their music, until now! Polly is such a great talent and her band are brilliant especially the sax player, this performance on the OGWT is iconic and is testament to how great she and her band was, RIP beautiful lady 💖

    Identity! Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself? Do you see yourself on the TV screen? Do you see yourself in the magazine? When you see yourself, does it make you scream? Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity Yeah! Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity When you look in the mirror, do you smash it quick? Do you take the glass and slash your wrists? Did you do it for fame? Did you do it in a fit? Did you do it before you read about it? Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity Yeah!
