I remember it was hard to find this album when I was teenager. All of us had some songs of The Blood, (like Stark Raving Normal or Mesrine) on some compilations but no one had the album. And then, when I finally got ''False gestures'', I was amazed and stunned at once. I didn't like to compare bands or albums like it was some competition, but when I've heard it for the first time I simply knew- this is pedestal of UK 82 Punk. It was 10 steps ahead.

Why don't ya donate just one of your robes of silk and gold
You church is plastered inside and out with all that precious gear
Gear which if were to be sold could dry many a tear
You tour the earth in costly wheels at times so low
To let some low scum kiss your hand at your mobile ego show
I never intended to care about all of those in need
I never tried to cover up, i'm in it just for me
But someday they'll burn your temples down and strip your churches bare
And lynch you from the nearest tree

The pope says to The Atheist, In Gods name I do swear
You searching blindly in the dark for something that ain't there
The Atheist says to the Pope There ain't no gettin' 'round it
You too were searching in the dark for nothing...But you found it
chorus:
You're alright Jack, Ain't gonna look back
Megalomaniac
You tell us to give up our wealth to those who are without
To all you's third world victims with your famines and your drought
But tell me Johnny Paul my son, if I should make so bold

@UTFRG Who the fuck gives a shit? Punks know what punk is, the people that listen to The White Stripes and claim it to be punk are not. We know, who cares they don't? I don't give a shit, I am who I am and I just don't hang out with those tits. Cheers
JJ Bedsore (RIP) hands down easily the best guitarist in punk rock. I have loved this band for almost 20 years.Perfect melding of Oi and punk.False Gestures for a Devious Public is one of the best records to come out of the punk scene.How bands like the Clash and Sex Pistols got massive coverage,and bands like Anti Nowhere League and Blood and Vibrators didn't is insane to me.
