I really love this song. I liked The Adverts and Tv Smith when I was teenager. Now I'm thirty years old, and I still love them. They're totally awesome! And this is great vid.
The basis of the lyrics are before he was executed he wanted his eyes to be given as a transplant - a few hours after 2 people had a new cornea - hence 'looking thru gary gilmores eyes'
I am a reincarnate of Gary Gilmore. :) Nah seriously. I didn't come here because I cared about the band, but rather the person it was about. It's an ok song actually.
lol "the only true punk"....I guess if you have a nick like that you have a totally misconceived idea of what punk was all about. you are a parody of yourself
no, I wouldn't say you're a cliche. There aren't that many self proclaimed "true punks" on youtube. Actually, you're probably the only one arrogant enough to give themselves that title
Gary's corneas were transplanted within hours of his death. I wonder if the recipient knew.

The judge stands up as you offer no defence, and says 'you are sentenced to destroy all your punk 1 chord shite era records'.
You reply 'yes the 70's and 80's were an embarassment to music and society and I contributed to it'
'I am guilty so please destroy these shite records and I would like to donate my ears and organs to science'
Kind of gets where this is at doesn't it?

lol Nobody got Gary Gilmore's eyes, he was just a Killer who got put to death and then his organs where donated to science.
