Biography

UK punk band formed in London in 1976. After singer [a=Poly Styrene] left in 1979 to pursue other interests, the band disbanded. Guitarist Jack Stafford and drummer Paul Hurding founded the band [a=Classix Nouveaux] with singer [a=Sal Solo], which became part of the "New Romantic" scene. X-Ray Spex was re-formed in 1991 for a short while but had a rather indifferent reception, but then re-formed again in 1995 and has played live every now and then since.

LYRICS

I clambered over mounds and mounds
Of polystyrene foam
And fell into a swimming pool
Filled with fairy snow
And watched the world turn day-glo
you know you know
The world turned day-glo you know

I wrenched the nylon curtains back
As far as they would go
And peered through perspex window panes
At the acrylic road

I drove my polypropolene
Car on wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun

The X-rays were penetrating
Through the laytex breeze
Synthetic fibre see-thru leaves
The I fell from the rayon trees
