What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

SEX PISTOLS "the great rock and roll swindle - OST" vinyl, cd 1979

the third of my John Lydon weekend plays.
soundtrack to a movie starring the band.
some tracks with Lydon on vocals, others Sid Vicious and others featuring 
Eddie Tenpole Tudor , who filled on once Vicious overdosed.
some seriously good tracks on here, Vicious taking the lead on two Eddie Cochran covers
which are more guitar driven than the originals.
some pisstakes also with the band making a mockery of "rock around the clock". "johnny b goode"
and Sinatra's "my way"
album was the start of the flogging a dead horse with compilations being issued on an annual 
basis, not bad for a band who only made one album.
album is pretty chaotic in nature and that does sum them up after Lydon's departure
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

love this sea-shanty Pistol style LOL





It was on the good ship Venus
By Christ, ya shoulda seen us
The figurehead was a whore in bed
And the mast, a mammoth penis

The captain of this lugger
He was a dirty bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel shit
From one place to another

[Chorus:]
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
Friggin' in the riggin'
There was fuck all else to do

The captain's name was Morgan
By Christ, he was a gorgon
Ten times a day he'd stop and play
With his fuckin' organ

The first mate's name was Cooper
By Christ he was a trooper.
He jerked and jerked until he worked
Himself into a stupor

[Chorus]

The second mate was Andy
By Christ, he had a dandy
Till they crushed his cock on a jagged rock
For cumming in the brandy

The cabin boy was Flipper
He was a fuckin' nigger
He stuffed his ass with broken glass
And circumcised the skipper

[Chorus]

The Captain's wife was Mabel
To fuck she was not able
So the dirty shits, they nailed her tits
Across the barroom table

The Captain had a daughter
Who fell in deep sea water
And by her squeals we knew the eels
Had found 'er sexual quarters

[Chorus]
