  • You know what I'd like to see? These guys not trying to act bored, pretending like they're not enjoying playing their music. 30 plus years later their apathetic going through the motions on this just look affected. Come on, lads! You had the liveliest, most upbeat stuff going... smile!

  • No shot by both sides isn't better than Lipstick -thats just wrong!

  • ♪ "When you kiss me

    Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face

    Will you miss me

    In your dreams does your lover have my face.." ♫ ♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

  • i think i'm in love with this band right now ;]

  • shelleys great songwriting, diggles guitar,garveys bass and the amazing john maher on drums..plus rushents production..loved to buy a buy a new single with those guys..and this is the b-side!

  • i fuckin love this jam the soundtrack to my high school years : )

  • I think shot by both sides is better than this song...

  • @perfuzz

    both are good.....but this is better

  • love em!!!!!!!!!

  • i am gonna smear my lipstick on a really handsome bloke

  • i loved when i saw them live they were f***ing great!

  • How many bands today could record tracks live for an album without the help of protools and other software? answ: none, with the exception of Jack White.

  • I like both Lipstick and Shot by Both Sides which is the first song Magazine got together to record. I got to see Buzzcocks

    perform in Chicago in 1980. The back up band was Gang of Four! Still remember the show which was just stellar.

  • Amazing.

  • One of the greatest rhythm tracks ever. The rhythm section is so tight on this one.

  • There's a good reason why it sounds like "Shot By Both Sides" - it's the same song with different words. Pete Shelley has a co-writer credit on "Shot By Both Sides".

  • It sounds like one of the best MAGAZINE's songs called Shot By Both Sides . Have a look on Magazine you won't regret

  • saw them in Tampa circa 1993, couldn't have been more than 40 people. Yet, they rocked it for nearly 2 hours. Great band (duh)

  • Thanks for sharing this nice video!

  • Nicked the guitar riff of the ex buzzcock howard devoto's magazine and 'shot by both sides' great though...

  • No, Shelley wrote the riff, and Devoto asked if he could borrow it for a song for his own band, Magazine. Later Shelley wrote this song with the same riff.

  • John Maher was a great drummer

  • Top 3 Greatest Punk Bands Ever (in no real order)

    Buzzcocks

    Ramones

    Sex Pistols.

  • more like 3 most popular punk bands

  • I think the Ramones (my favourite band) and the Clash are the best punk bands ever, but the buzzcocks are one of the greatest as well. There's never mind the bollocks standing on my shelf, but that's almost all I can say about the sex pistols. they're good, somehow.

  • you know, you should be more tolerant about other people's tastes, and especially about different kinds of bands/music. I didn't say anything against the Damned, so go fuck yourself if that's how you want me to talk to you, dimwit.

  • but the Ramones are better than your mother.

  • eww you fucked the ramones

  • the Ramones were probably the only band in history to be forced by a certain Phil Spector (80s) with a pistol to CONTINUE recording sessions. mr spector´s now in prison for shooting a stalking lady ro death who allegedly wanted (he says) to intrude into his house........

  • in your dreams does your lover has my face

    fuc yeah, great song

  • Stone classic.

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • don't know shit about music

    classic jam, totally awesome

  • the greatest most terribly sad song by the greatest and most terribly happy band ever( the gospel according to demilavotofan11's mom)

  • one of the best bands of all time!

  • Surely , up with the Crickets .

  • Totally brilliant..Yeh,i prefer this to Shot By Both Sides too-The Buzzcocks were just fantastic-Shelleys a wonderful songwriter..

  • I prefer this too :-)

  • this one and shot by both sides are both as good as each other really! brilliant part of our punk heritage, love to all xxx

  • one of my favourites...this and Boredom. Nice.

  • Is it heresy to say that I prefer this version to Magazine's 'Shot By Both Sides'?!

  • Both are great in their own ways!

  • Light pours out of me...

  • don't you mean shot by both sides?
