Versione 1
Rating: Idea by Malcolm McLaren, idea by Malcolm McLaren, fuck Malcolm McLaren; or maybe not?
A few days before the revolution that split history in two, this strange "bootleg" with a white cover appeared in some London stores.
Indeed, the legendary and alternative debut of the Sex Pistols.
Spunk contained the first mixes directed by Goodman of the famous tracks that would later form the tracklist of Nevermind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols.
They still have the provisional names and haven't been christened yet (for example, Anarchy In The UK is Nookie).
But what makes this rarity special is the rich and almost tangible sound of Glen Matlock's bass. Before he left the caravan due to internal disputes, he made his contribution.
In Nevermind, the bass parts were played by Steve Jones.
Many claim that it was actually a commercial gimmick by the manager and not a collection of demos, precisely because the quality of the tracks was considered too high.
In the years to come, this Spunk was published and expanded several times, until they included in the set the real reason why—if you love the band—you should listen to it.
A huge, full, totally out-of-control rendition of No Fun by the Stooges that gives you goosebumps.
The Pistols never sounded so abrasive.
This is a recording dating back to 1976 (reads the back of the cover).
You'd recognize those vocals among the screams of a thousand crazy people shouting in unison.
No Fun also ended the band's career, among a delirious Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco and a disillusioned, tired, bored Lydon.
The end of the Sex Pistols crystallized in his mind precisely during this performance.
"This is the last song, the very last, because I'm a lazy bastard"
Despite the health issues, that day he gave his all, and all his frustration seemed to come out and go back in continuously. At the end, he said into the microphone:
"Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
No Fun, indeed; no fun having Sid stoned beside you, being manipulated like a puppet, making money for the vultures behind the scenes.
The King is gone but he's not forgotten.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Seventeen (02:10)
You're only 29
Got a lot to learn
But when your mummy dies
She will not return
We like noise it's our choice
It's what we wanna do
We don't care about long hair
I don't wear flares
See my face not a trace
No reality
I don't work I just speed
That's all I need
I'm a lazy sod, I'm lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod I'm so lazy
I'm a lazy sod I'm lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod I'm so lazy
I can't even be bothered
Lazy Lazy
02 Satellite (04:12)
surburban kid and you got no name
your too dumb baby and you got no brain
i bet you're all so happy in surburbian dream
but i'm only laughing
you ain't in my scheme
baby
i love you
i love you
i love you
i only ever listen when you're on the phone
from your safety-restricted zone home
when i got nothing better to do
then there's always you
you're good for my shoe
hey babe
i love you
i love you
i love you
you look at me and you just can't tell
you're looking like you just came outta hell
acting like a dirty lavatory
there ain't no bid for your chastity
hey baby
i love you
i love you
i love you
i'm in love
i'm really in love
try and join the scene but you're too obscene
you're looking like a big fat baked bean
how did you figure that you'd be any use
when all you're gonna get is my abuse
hey babe
i love you
i love you
i love you
you know i don't like where you come from
it's just a satellite of london
and when you look me i the eye
i just remember i wanna die
hey babe
i love you
i love you
i love you
i can't take no more just stop
05 Submission (04:17)
I'm on a submarine mission for you baby
I feel the way you were going
I picked you up on my tv screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing
Submission going down down
Dragging me down submission
I can't tell ya what I've found
You've got me pretty deep baby
I can't figure out your watery love
I gotta solve your mystery
Your sitting it out in heaven above
Submission going down down
Dragging me down submission
I can't tell you what I've found
For there's a mystery
Under the sea under a water
Come share it
Submission going down down
Dragging me down submission
I can't tell ya what I've found
'Cos it's a secret
Under the water under the sea
Octopus Rock
Got me pretty deep baby
I can't figure out your watery love
I gotta solve your mystery
Your sitting it out in heaven above
Submission going down down
Dragging me down submission
I can't tell ya what I've found
Submission Submission
Going down down under the sea
I wanna drown drown under the water
Going down down under the sea
08 Problems (04:21)
Too many problems oh why I am here
I don't need to be me cos you're all to clear
well and I can see there's something wrong with you
but what do you expect me to do ?
At least I gotta know what I wanna be
don't come to me if you need pity
Are you lonely you got no one
you get your body in suspension that's no
Problem Problems the problem is you
Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
you don't do what you want then you'll fade away
you won't find me working nine to five
it's too much fun a BEING ALIVE
I'm using my feet for my human machine
you won't find me living for the screen
are you lonely all needs catered
you got your brains dehydrated
In a death trip I ain't automatic
you won't find me just staying static
don't you give me any orders
for people like me there is no order
bet you thought you had it all worked out
bet you thought you knew what I was about
bet you thought you solved all your problems
but you are the problem
Problem the problem is YOU
what you gonna do with you
what you gonna do
I'll leave it to you
the problem is you
oh what you gonna do
they know a doctor gonna take you away
they take you away and throw away the key
they don't want you and they don't want me
you got a problem the problem is you
Problem what you gonna do ?
10 Liar (02:45)
Lie lie lie lie liar you lie
lie lie lie lie tell me why tell me why
Why d'you have to lie

you should've told the truth
should've realised
you know what I'll do
You're in suspension

How I wanna know know know know
I wanna know why you never look me
in the face
Broke a confidence just to please
your ego
Should've realised

You're in suspension

I know where you go everybody you know
I know everything that you do or say
So when you tell lies
I'll always be in your way
I'm nobody's fool
and I know all 'cos I know

You're in suspension

A lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie...
