Peter and the Test Tube Babies - All About Love

Peter and the Test Tube Babies are a punk rock band formed from a small town Peacehaven, England in 1978 by Del Strangefish and Peter Bywaters. Due to their humorous tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they have been considered part of the Punk Pathetique subgenre.[1] Peter and the Test Tube Babies were first featured in Sounds magazine in July 1980, and after a John Peel Radio One session, made their vinyl debut on the Brighton compilation album Vaultage 78. They also had two songs on the seminal Oi! compilation Oi! the Album in that same year.[2] They favoured absurd lyrics and strange titles, such as "The Queen Gives Good Blow Jobs."[3] In 1982, they covered the chart-topping Gary Glitter hit "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" on their album Pissed and Proud. They have continued to perform in the 2000s. Their polished, professional live show is in contrast to the non-serious nature of their lyrics.

Here's a nice ballad, like the six thousand others.
It's a love song again, it'll probably get covered.
No, the drums don't come in yet, that's in three bars time.
It's just me and the piano, and this sweet lullaby.
Here are the drums now, and a power guitar chord.
And my voice goes up a key, just in case you get bored.
Now I rhyme loads of cliches, like above, love and dove.
Girl like you, the things you do, and it's all about love.
This is the drop out part, where the drop outs drop out.
It's just me and the piano again, just before I start to shout.
Now I am shouting, the ends building up,
everything gets louder, and it's all about love.
Here's a nice ballad, like the six thousand others.
It was a love song again and it'll probably get covered.
