Thanks everybody  ;D

I did that in one take, basically making it up as I went along .... bit odd playing power chords to a song you are used to fingerpicking  :-\

Thought a few times about redoing it properly, but I quite like the roughness, sort fits with the idea.

Steve,
she who must be obeyed has said she has seen you around town.

and if the sun should fail to rise against my
shoulders one last time...

I should have read the comments first - I was totally unprepared when all the filth and fury kicked off, lol. I like this better than the original - and the 'grab you by the throat' twist in the lyrics is just great. This sounds more like the London I know, lol. Funny thing is though, it's still really tuneful even when the Pistols-like guitaring is thrashing away. Nice solo on the fade-out too! Great work. More please!

That was funny!!..   Bout blew me off my chair when it kicked in. lOL

Anti-Nowhere League did a version but it's pretty bad, I think yours is better!

Cheers,
