|
The clash were headed for a head on collision |
|
Crash for complete control |
|
The pistols left behind a swindle and a scandal |
|
That nobody wished to handle |
|
Sham 69 were left in a shambles |
|
Generation x was next |
|
Elvis and nick lowe |
|
They had a go |
|
With the help of the attractions |
|
And joe jackson said it wasn't his style |
|
Dave edmunds survived alive |
|
On top of a rockpile |
|
Devo didn't know if they were men |
|
Because they couldn't get no satisfaction |
|
The rats were caught in their own trap |
|
Steve strange began to change |
|
Ultravox had a system |
|
Kraftwerk nearly beat them |
|
And the yellow magic orchestra missed them |
|
Eno rose for lowe |
|
The slits became rasta |
|
And the buzzcocks played faster and faster with adrenalin |
|
John cooper clarke he was smart |
|
The public image became limited |
|
The police were re-released and came out as a three-piece |
|
The rocky horror show became the history of tomorrow |
|
Nina hagen, she was a german maiden |
|
And the music press revealed their anger |
|
When threatened by the stranglers |
|
This broadcast was brought to you in 1979 |
|
I'm just talking to you over these waves |
|
Not just about another time and another place |
|
And before we knew it |
|
The old wave was gone and controlled |
