Biography

The most famous (and infamous) band of the late 70s British punk scene. Their rebellious image combined with a commercial sound (partly thanks to producer Chris Thomas) created some of the most memorable moments of the 70s - both musical and otherwise. Band Line-up: - Vocals: [b]Johnny Rotten[/b] (John Lydon) 1975-1978 Vocals - Guitar: [b]Steve Jones[/b] 1975-1978 Guitar - Bass: [b]Glen Matlock [/b]1975-1977 Bass - Drums: [b]Paul Cook[/b] 1975-1978 Drums. Replacement: - [b]Sid Vicious[/b] Bass 1977-1978 [i](Replaced Glen Matlock)[/i] The band effectively split up after their 1978 US tour, although Jones and Cook continued to record under the name for another year or so. The original line-up reformed in 1996 for a series of concert tours, and has played live shows off and on since then, and released live recordings. Original line-up, minus John Lydon reformed in 2024 with [a=Frank Carter (2)] on vocals, initially to raise funds for Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, before touring the UK.

LYRICS

[Originally by The Who]
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done
