about

About time to trade in my Pete Townshend waistcoat and Syd Barrett mascara for a mohawk and a nose ring.

lyrics

I enunciate too clearly to be a star
I wanna know how Vicious got that far.
I think Maggie Thatcher is kinda cute
And George Bush was a brutal president.

I own a leather jacket but not a tattoo
I don't want to regret what I can't undo.
All my suds belong on my football boots
And I'm polite to the substitute teacher.

But I
I wish I was a punk
I I I I wish I was a punk
I I I I wish I was a punk
I I I I wish I was a punk.
I I I I wish I was a punk.

But Sheena is a punk rocker
And I live by the river
But I'm more Noel Coward a la Sienne
Than The Clash on the Thames.

But I
I wish I was a punk
I I I I wish I was a punk
I I I I wish I was a punk
I I I I wish I was a punk.
I I I I wish I was a punk.

I enunciate too clearly to be a star
I wanna know how Vicious got that far.
I think Maggie Thatcher is kinda cute
And I'm polite to the substitute president.

But Sheena is a punk rocker
And I live by the river
But I'm more Noel Coward a la Sienne
Than The Clash on the Thames.

But I wish I was Antichrist
I wish I was an anarchist
I know what I want, not how to get it
I wanna destroy passer-by
Cos I wanna be a punk
A punk.
A punk.
A punk.
A punk.

about

Barabajagal Dunedin, New Zealand

Barabajagal are a band who make music.

It's pretty ok stuff really.

It's rooted in psychedelia but incorporates so many genres that it doesn't really seem too definable. But it's ok with that.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle.
