X-Ray Spex - Warrior In Woolworths

9/12/1978 Old Grey Whistle Test.

I finally found a video of them performing Warrior in Woolworths, it's bad quality, but i don't care, enjoy.

Warrior in Woolworths

Warrior in Woolworth's
Humble he may seem
Behind his servile innocence
He plots and he schemes

He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town
He's the rebel on the underground
She's the rebel of the modern town

Warrior in Woolworth's
His roots are in today
Doesn't know no history
He threw the past away

Warrior in Woolworth's
Dips on friday nights
Youths meet at Stockwell Tube
Weapons rule their lives

PUNK

[tennes2465]

hey, they were punk rock

[andywarstarforever]

@MisspentYouth70 yes, she would be. any band that makes classic sounding punk rock gets rejected. like my fucking band! love x ray spex.... fuck society!

[bernardmeyre]

i love that , the intro somehow reminds me of T Rex (i guess they were fans)

i always dug X Ray Spex , for me they were one of the top 5 new wave acts (along with Buzzcocks/Pistols/Damned/Bansh­ees)

i love the fact they look so young and unassuming
