Why don’t you tell them what you’re gonna do You get so lonely, maybe it’s better that way It ain’t you only, you got something to say Do anything you wanna do Do anything you wanna do I don’t need no politicians to tell me things I shouldn’t be Neither no opticians to tell me what I oughta see No-one tells you nothing even when you know they know They tell you what you should be They don’t like to see you grow Why don’t you ask them what they expect from you ?

Are you part of a cult or something? You’re not delving deeply enough into the human landscape if you think 7 billion people are to a man incapable of creating great music.

@mysteryachievement – yeah, but we all are! As someone once said to me ‘this is what happens to punks when they grow up.’

@stribs1986 I would say more New Wave/ Punk as they were the tail end.

This still sounds fresh like it was written yesterday. Except no one writes good stuff any more. I guess its in line for some hip hop sampling it and passing it off as their own work! God help us all.

Great song. Got the original single, lol!
verity000 · August 11, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Put this on one night very loud….as i loved it so much i put it on repeat….then fell asleep…about 3 hours later woke up to it still playing through the headphones.

This is THE song of my teenage years. It said EVERYTHING to me. Wow…I feel so frigging old now….!
helenkrump · August 14, 2011 at 8:20 pm
@stribs1986 no, not punk. I bought a single from this group in ’77 hoping for punk and was disappointed.
stribs1986 · August 17, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Love this song and it was released 9 years before my birth!! Are these guys classed as punk?
johnnylongback · August 19, 2011 at 1:19 am
@seany83 you’ve heard of Dr.Feelgood, both from round this neck of the woods, ie Southend. look up a tune from this time “Top of the pops” by The Rezillos another great tune

A true masterpiece You gotta live your life according to The Gospel according to St.eddie and his Hotrods and “Do anything you wanna do”

I found an Eddie and the Hot Rods poster from the 70’s in my attic so I decided to listen them and I’ve fallen in love with them
