apropos de mini-documentarul despre femei in punk numit “typical girls” [partea 1, partea 2, partea 3], doua piese clasice – si versurile:
- the slits: “typical girls” (cut, 1979)
Don’t create
Don’t rebel
Have intuition
Can’t decideTypical girls get upset too quickly
Typical girls can’t control themselves
Typical girls are so confusing
Typical girls – you can always tell
Typical girls don’t think too clearly
Typical girls are unpredictable
PredictableTypical girls try to be
Typical girls very wellTypical girls are looking for something
Typical girls fall under spells
Typical girls buy magazines
Typical girls feel like hell
Typical girls worry about spots, fat, and natural smells
Stinky fake smellsTypical girls try to be
Typical girls very wellDon’t create
Don’t rebel
Have intution
Don’t drive wellTypical girls try to be
Typical girls very wellCan’t decide what clothes to wear
Typical girls are sensitive
Typical girls are emotional
Typical girls are cruel and bewitching
She’s a femme fatale
Typical girls stand by their men
Typical girls are really swell
Typical girls learn how to act shocked
Typical girls don’t rebelWho invented the typical girl?
Who’s bringing out the new improved model?
And there’s another marketing ploy
Typical girl gets the typical boyThe typical boy gets the typical girl
The typical girl gets the typical boy
- x-ray spex: “oh bondage (up yours)” (germ-free adolescents, 1978)
Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard
But i think
Oh Bondage Up Yours!Bind me tie me
Chain me to the wall I wanna be a slave
To you allOh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more
Oh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no moreChain-store chain-smoke
I consume you all
Chain-gang chain-mail
I don’t think at allOh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more
Oh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no moreThrash me crash me
Beat me till I fall
I wanna be a victim
For you allOh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more
Oh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more
