Liner Notes
@johnnycashpoint - guitar, vocals @andybalham - drums
The name of this band is Baghdad. The music self-identifies as Punk. Current influences: Get Down Services, Yard Act, The Lovely Eggs., The Television Personalities
Improvised live to tape at the Old School Rehearsal Room, New Bradwell, England. Vocals added after the fact at Cashpoint Towers, London, England.
I love the nursery-rhyme punk of the TVPs, so I thought I'd have a go. I also wanted to write about giving two fingers to people who try and tell you it's your fault your body is your own and how you should embrace your feelings of otherness and 'wear' them as a badge of pride. F**k em, basically!
Lyrics
World in which we live is such an awful place It’s best that you don’t meet anybody face to face Cos you know what they’ll ask is just too much for you It won't be good, and just too rude for anyone to do
Everyone wants to see you dancing in your underwear, If you’re OK with that, Strip down like you just don't care
world is full of laziness and such indifference They won't care who they ask, don’t make a difference But the aimless rule the world, these beta alpha-males Should you want to fit in, in search of holy grail
Least you’ll get to dance, Embarrassment will pass long before The thrill it fades Give them what they want Until they bore of it. Just shake it in their face. x3 And give it a cheeky rub.

alpha male and holy grail now thats a rhyme
enjoyed this one a lot!
i dont know any of the bands that influenced this, but what i learned is that punk has evolved into a new thing and i should stop complaining about anything post 1978 not being punk. this one clearly is,
