X-Ray Spex Germ Free Adolescents Lyrics
1.Day The World Turned Dayglo


2.Obsessed With You


3.Genetic Engineering


4.Identity

identity is the crisis can't you see
identity identity

when you look in the mirror
do you see yourself
do you see yourself
on the t.v. screen
do you see yourself in the magazine
when you see yourself
does it make you scream

when you look in the mirror
do you smash it quick
do you take the glass
and slash your wrists
did you do it for fame
did you do it in a fit
did you do it before
you read about it


5.I Live Off You


6.Germfree Adolescents


7.Art-I-Ficial


8.Let's Submerge


9.Warrior In Woolworths


10.I Am A Poseur

I am a poseur and I don't care
I like to make people stare
I am a poseur and I don't care
I like to make people stare

Exhibition is the name
Voyeurism is the game
Stereoscopic is the show
Viewing time makes it grow

My facade is just a fake
Shock horror no escape
Sensationalism for the feed
Caricatures are what you breed

Anti-art was the start
Establishments like a laugh
Yes we're very entertaining
Overtones can be betraying


11.I Can't Do Anything


12.Highly Inflamable


13.Age

Darling am I
Getting old
Tell me dear
I must be told

Y'know it's a
Million dollar fear
If lines
Creep in over here

Age she's so afraid
Age she's no the rage

She never seems to realise
Celluloid beauty
Never dies


14.Plastic Bag

1977 and we are going mad
It's 1977 and we've seen too many ads
1977 and we're gonna show them all
That apathy's a drag

My mind is like a plastic bag
That corresponds to all those ads
It sucks up all the rubbish
That is fed in through by ear
I eat Kleenex for breakfast
And use soft hygienic Weetabix
To dry my tears

My mind is like a switchboard
With crossed and tangled lines
Contented with confusion
That is plugged into my head
I don't know what's going on
It's the operator's job, not mine
I said

My dreams I daren't remember
Or tell you what I've seen
I've dreamt that I was Hitler
The ruler of the sea
The ruler of the universe
The ruler of the supermarket
And even fatalistic me


15.Oh Bondage Up Yours


16.I Am Cliche


17.Genetic Engineering


18.Art-I-Ficial


19.I Am A Poseur

I am a poseur and I don't care
I like to make people stare
I am a poseur and I don't care
I like to make people stare

Exhibition is the name
Voyeurism is the game
Stereoscopic is the show
Viewing time makes it grow

My facade is just a fake
Shock horror no escape
Sensationalism for the feed
Caricatures are what you breed

Anti-art was the start
Establishments like a laugh
Yes we're very entertaining
Overtones can be betraying


20.Identity

identity is the crisis can't you see
identity identity

when you look in the mirror
do you see yourself
do you see yourself
on the t.v. screen
do you see yourself in the magazine
when you see yourself
does it make you scream

when you look in the mirror
do you smash it quick
do you take the glass
and slash your wrists
did you do it for fame
did you do it in a fit
did you do it before
you read about it
