I remember the consternation caused amongst the neighbours when playing that LOUD in 1977....some came close to violence.
I was playing it in my bedroom when my dad came in, took it off the turntable and smashed it. He also snapped my Damned, Damned, Damned album in half. That's when I really knew it must be good music! It strengthened my resolve to buy more punk records (which I hid under my bed!)
Album version still sounds fantastic. Lyrics still hit the spot. God save the Queen The fascist regime They made you a moron Potential H-bomb God save the Queen She ain't no human being There is no future In England's dreaming Don't be told about what you want Don't be told about what you need No future, no future, no future for you God save the Queen We mean it, man We love our Queen God saves God save the Queen Tourists are money But our figurehead Is not what she seems God save history God save your mad parade Oh Lord, have mercy! All crimes are paid When there's no future, how can there be sin? We're the flowers in the dustbin We're the poison in the human machine We're the future, we're the future God save the Queen We mean it, man We love our Queen God saves God save the Queen We mean it, man We love our Queen God saves No future, no future No future, no future No future, no future No future, no future No future, no future No future, no future No future for you
