Just want to give everybody the chance to discover this amazing band. Have fun and support them!

I can look in the mirror and not recognize
The reflection that is appearing on the other side
I know that hat and that coat that shirt and that tie
But I can't seem to remember who's been living inside

Sometimes I think I'll go and get a knife
And cut all of my clothes down into rags
Sometimes I think I'll take a holiday
From wearing my opinions like a badge

Well I've been down on the pavement I've been shopping for clothes
But it's just one uniform then another all standing in rows
A new outfit a new outlook another show
I shed one skin from my body then another one grows

Sometimes I think I'll go and get a knife
And cut all of my clothes down into rags
Sometimes I think I'll take a holiday
From wearing my opinions like a badge

I can look in the mirror and not recognize
The reflection that is appearing on the other side
I know that hat and that coat that shirt and that tie
But I can't seem to remember who's been living inside

Sometimes I think I'll go and get a knife
And cut all of my clothes down into rags
Sometimes I think I'll take a holiday
From wearing my opinions like a badge

"sometimes i need to take a holiday from wearing my opinions like a badge" one of the best lines ive ever heard

[HopefulHypocrite]

so many times when life has gotten hard for me I have returnedd to this album. It's one of those gems that isn't just angry at the state of the things but has the heart to want something better.

[Sorefame83]

One of the best early anarcho punk bands!

[gareththejack]

One of the greatest albums ever made by a true artist (Steve Lake). Remarkable music.

@DynamoKevin was that a flux reference by any chance? :')

[DynamoKevin]

The best anti-fashion song of all time! Catchy tune and intelligent lyrics. I wish Lady Gaga would take heed!

[LORDGOAT1976]

Sounds like real early Cure stuff.
