Piranhas or Lambrettas

[London Calling]

I go alone with Attila on this i always rated "Saxophone" absolutely stunning live.

I saw the Lambrettas supporting the Jam at the Conference Centre, a gig that confirmed to me that the Jam had lost it.

The Piranhas definitely for me. Sneaking in under-age at The Alhambra every Sunday in my Helen McCookerybook-esque trousers - ah the memories.

"Boyfriend" was the one we all went mental to as I remember. A tragic tale of love with a twist. And rarely have there been more truthful poignant lyrics for the adolescent than those written by Bob Grover.

"I don't want my body.
It looks like a reject from an Oxfam poster
Sex is its hobby.
I stick it in the slot like bread in a toaster"

(Changed to "Eating's its hobby" in the Pete Waterman sanitised version - an outrage!!!!!)

Make sure you visit this site as mentioned by our own Tom Hark Preston Park..

Piranhas, Dots and loads more...

"Happy families", "final straw", and " I don't want my body".....Timeless classics.

The 'Tom Hark' tune wasn't written by the Piranhas, it was originally done by someone called something like 'Elias and his zig-zag jive flutes'. Even the Ps used to do it was an instrumental originally.

Correct - it's a South African kwela song

Lambrettas for me.
They had to change 'Page 3' to 'Another Day Another Girl' because The Sun wouldn't have it, as I recall.
Jez Bird does still play Poison Ivy in his pub sets, though.
That album cover, where they're coming out of a hole in the beach, brilliant!
