The Real McKenzies - Droppin' Like Flies

http://realmckenzies.com/

I recall back in '79 I was just a wee kid livin' in a dive
Didn't drink, didn't dance, didn't ever smoke hash
But it changed when I heard The Clash
And you know I needed more so I got
Up and out to the record store
I bought all the records I could afford
An' I played em all on my stereo

This is a song saluting punkrockers rise
And what they did to change the times
But with such a lifestyle they're burnin'
On both sides
Now they're droppin' like flies
All those old punk rock guys

I became a fan and I remain that way
And to this day, I'm still blown away
Those bands just cut me to the bone
Like The Damned, The Pistols and The Ramones
Now we just wanna say
They made us what we are today
So now every time we play
We remember those of yesterday

This is a song saluting punkrockers rise
And what they did to change the times
But with such a lifestyle they're burnin'
On both sides
Now they're droppin' like flies
All those old punk rock guys

Well I became a fan and I remain that way
And to this day, I'm still blown away
And then theres me I'm not dead yet
But never ever know I could be next

This is a song saluting punkrockers rise
And what they did to change the times
But with such a lifestyle they're burnin'
On both sides
Now they're droppin' like flies
All those old punk rock guys

I blare this at very loud volume every morning on my way to college. Wakes me up and leaves me in good spirits like few other things will.

Brilliant vid Man! Saw the McKenzies last night in Hollywood at the House of Blues. Paul was manning the merch booth and I talked to him for about 5 minutes. He's super humble and cool. A living legend that Man is.

Punk rockers don't exist, only punks are real. And real punks aren't wankers who need to express themselves by showing off with mohawks. Only you fucking wankers wouldn't understand anyway.

Cheers to the Oi!
