Don't talk to me about what you done
Ain't nothing has changed it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end

I've seen them drive around in cars
All look the same get drunk in bars
And don't talk back we got no social rights

Oh perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know

We got no high times always flat
If you go out you don't come back
It's all so funny I can't laugh

Oh perfect day
What more to say?
Don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know

Don't talk to me about what's you done
Ain't nothing has changed it all goes on
And they'll keep laughing till the end

Oh perfect day
What more to say?
I don't need no one to tell me what I don't already know Don't need nothin' Don't need no one I don't need nothin', nothin' at all

@ernestrebel, The Saints formed the same year as The Ramones and one year before The Sex Pistols, although the Saints are cool, when 7 years earlier you got The Stooges and MC5 goin much harder than they ever did.

TOTP2 "fact" boxes ruining an ace song yet again. Chop their hands off!

[ernestrebel]

Eternally COOL!

Proto punk from australia years before punk began (like the Ramone or Sex pistols etc). Shoulda made it huge but to much to soon as the saying goes.

@shackbhoy Most Ferocious ever in the top 10? I agree, Balls! The charts were often full of blistering rock, its just a matter of opinion what one was most 'Ferocious' and everyones choice is right, to them. A total bollocks up conversational non starter argument coz its just a simple matter of taste.

Mojo mag tries to intelectualise R'n'R, what fucking nonsense, its full of up the arse wankers who could spend all night opining about John Bonhams soiled nappies.

This lot deserve fucking medals, they were playing what became known as Punk in arsepipe Ausrtalia before London had even heard of the Roxy.

Blasting guitars and driving beat, what a treat!

Also The Misunderstood`s "Children Of The Sun" and Love´s "7and 7 is" come to mind.
