X-Ray Spex - I Live Off You

[wonderlin1]

PUNK

[MrBaldy73]

Classic tune, she was a true punk, cause she had her own style.

[andywarstarforever]

57 assholes used the word "underrated" to describe bands most people forgot

[punkbabydoll77]

was shocked about poly...on my birthday too....RIP

[ZLUGGO]

How tasteful and graceful she was. A very intelligent and creative person. Her band was one of the best ever.

[2legs2armsetc]

One of the best bands ever, hugely underrated. RIP poly!

[LordGodofMercy]

@madtwatter88 Oh Sorry! then you are a silly hateful Arse

[LordGodofMercy]

@madtwatter88 What a women hating little arse you are.

[nicelybronzed]

@madtwatter88

Your name just about says it all.

[49MercMayhem]

RIP Poly! <3

[snosky67]

Bert, try and adjust the tracking on your VCR. It's a great song but it's all over the shop!!

[Germ0o]

[scaife2000]

[chuchulo0serville]

[AlligatorZebra]

@hunterf96 YES IT IS! what id your definition of punk? does it involve mohawks?

[ThePiginshit]

class, enuff said

[MisspentYouth70]

I know you're antiseptic your deodorant smells nice. Different song but immortal words.

[MrLongboarder94]

@hunterf96 shut the fuck up and put more patches and studs on your leather jacket fag

[toonmunger]

Brilliant! Love this song and this band.

[xXxScrattiexXx]

[WoodRatGirl]

One of the cutest punks ever.

[chrisdavid4026]

oh yeah ,for sure this is punk, i was there

[hephzibar]

girly punk for us girls :D And for the boys of course ;P

[anandarew]

do we gotta be exploited, by somebody?

[netando]

Wild, I've only ever heard the Osaka Popstar cover of this song. I knew it was a cover but I'd never even heard of X-Ray Spex, I'm glad I found their stuff though!

[johnsmithatx]

One of my fav 70s punk bands. So awesome!!!!

[serg549999]

She's beautiful

[tpqadw]

Seen so many bands but X-ray Spex was never one of them. I really missed out there, wish I'd known about this gig...

[iganzabissassa]

Class conscious, non-dogmatic, funny, and beautiful. Great band.

[ZLUGGO]

This is true female beauty and excellent punk rock!

[kevintheshedend1976]

Amazin that talent like this was so heavily underground. Poly Styrene wasn't just talented, but years ahead of her time.

When talentless coke-heads like Lilly Allen, Lady Ga Ga and Britney Spears are household names today, it makes me think how under appreciated most of the bands and artists of the punk scene were

[mthai66]

@kevintheshedend1976 Pretty well known band where I come from.

[kevintheshedend1976]

where's that then?

[mthai66]

@kevintheshedend1976 Boston

[kevintheshedend1976]

Intresting. I'm constantly surprised by the impact some English bands have in the U.S. Joy Division & Depeche Mode (not my cup of tea) for example. They could hardly sell out pubs over here, but played in baseball stadiums over there.

I'd love to do Boston, by the way

[mthai66]

Nothing ever summed Boston up better for me than watching the singer from Gang Green doing lines with the violinist from Silly Wizard.

[kevintheshedend1976]

What! . . . . .on stage?

[mthai66]

@kevintheshedend1976 Cunningham would never have done Gack on stage! Doherty is another story.

[thomasali]

@kevintheshedend1976 "Depeche Mode and Joy Division could hardly sell out pubs over here" Are you insane?

[MrXmyselfx]

The cat eats the rat

While the pimp beats the whore

As she screams out for more and more

I love this song!

[bentenx]

Looks like pre-Guns n' Roses.

[ZLUGGO]

One of the best punk bands. And Poly was - and still is - gorgeous.

[fannycraddock99]

WOW! How amazing to see this again. I can't believe that it's over 30 yrs old. 5*. Thanks.

[DarkSunshineRain]

Love her hat and her hairstyle. Oh, and her voice, and intelligence, and her lyrics, and....need I go on?

[titsh]

this is a f.... good punk, listen to other stuff, i;m cliche or identity

[jhonwanegasey]

richerd hell does it better

[raspberry479]

what you mean is he cleans his mommas toilet better!

[friggingbomb88]

is this kind of PUNK?

[shaolintiger1]

it's not kinda punk it is punk

[cherenerules]

listen to the lyrics and tell me if it's punk

[mthai66]

X-Ray Spex are not *just* punk, they *are* Punk.

[Khultan]

Cher, you've trapped yourself in.

[cherenerules]

wha?

[cherenerules]

@Khultan the lyrics are totally punk.

[nik418]

X Ray Spex are one of the great underrated bands of all time - get the album 'Germ Free Adolescents' it's fantastic.

[ZLUGGO]

@nik418

Marvellous album, mate.

[wonderlin1]

@nik418 Thanks for the tip

[vaf88]

i live off you is fucking awesome. im building a list of the greatest songs on youtube and this one just made it in

if you have any suggestions, just leave a comment on my channel or message me

[newwave1965]

Most female punks should look up to this child. The music

market back then was dominated by males how come nobody

ever made anything of Poly Styrene! Lets hope that someday

someone will make something of this great trendsetting band

[DarkSunshineRain]

I love, love, love Poly! I love this song, she was just so fucking ahead of her time...and the Sax they used on their songs...genius!

[newwave1965]

Poly is great the music excellent!

[paulpayback]

She is indeed! Fantastic!!! Why can't we have pop stars like her any more?

[DarkSunshineRain]

That's the thing. She WASN'T a pop star.

[yeisi]

is she wearing braces?

[Sildron429]

Screw quality, this video is kickass either way. Awesome song, the sax sounds phenomenal put together with everything else. Love the video, and the X-Ray Spex!

[CrazedPeeling]

fantastic

[bryski58]

top band the spex they had the clothes the sax the attitude the music that you will remember instant pop singalong analhistic of its time totally chaotic!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Empedocles1232007]

My favorite song off Germfree Adolescents, just so nihilistic.

I live off you and you live off me

And the whole world lives of everybody

See we got to be exploited

See we got to be exploited

by somebody

by somebody

by somebody
