X-Ray Spex - I Live Off You

This is my favorite X-Ray Specs song. Great tune, great lyrics:



I live off you
And you live off me
And the whole world
Lives off of everybody

See we gotta be exploited
See we gotta be exploited
By somebody, by somebody, by somebody

The cat eats the rat
While the pimp beats the whore
As she just screams out
For more and more

See we gotta be exploited
See we gotta be exploited
By somebody, by somebody, by somebody

La la la

I live off you
And you live off me
And the whole world
Lives off of everybody

See we gotta be exploited
See we gotta be exploited
By somebody, by somebody, by somebody

La la la



Just go listen to the whole album, okay?

X-Ray Spex - The Day the World Turned Day-Glo

I really needed to hear this today.



X-Ray Spex is a band I'd heard of, as Poly Styrene & X-Ray Specs, written up in a book about punk I'd read. But it took my co-worker Glen to actually pass me a copy of Germ-Free Adolescents on tape so I could hear them.

I copied the tape and then wore my copy out. Poly Styrene is one of the most punk rock people to ever live.

Enjoy.
