1977 and we are going mad
It's 1977 and we've seen too many ads
1977 and we're gonna show them all
That apathy's a drag
My mind is like a plastic bag
That corresponds to all those ads
It sucks up all the rubbish
That is fed in through by ear
I eat Kleenex for breakfast
And use soft hygienic Weetabix
To dry my tears
My mind is like a switchboard
With crossed and tangled lines
Contented with confusion
That is plugged into my head
I don't know what's going on
It's the operator's job, not mine
I said
My dreams I daren't remember
Or tell you what I've seen
I've dreamt that I was Hitler
The ruler of the sea
The ruler of the universe
The ruler of the supermarket
And even fatalistic me
X-Ray Spex were a British musical group active from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Considered one of the cornerstones of the punk rock movement, they gained notoriety for their music characterized by fast rhythms, provocative lyrics and the influence of ska music. The band was led by the charismatic Poly Styrene, a singer and frontwoman of Nigerian-British origin, whose powerful voice and often ironic and satirical lyrics contributed to defining the group's image. Their debut album, *Germ Free Adolescents* (1978), released on EMI, is considered a punk rock classic and achieved commercial success in Britain. Among the band's most famous songs are «Oh Bondage! Up Yours!!», «Identity» and «The Day the World Turned Day-Glo». After the dissolution of X-Ray Spex in 1980, Poly Styrene continued her musical career as a solo artist until her death in 2011.
