A song of filth, degradation and very dark matters. Of course it was oikish and it was never a straight love song and more of a piss take of the form but sung with such a debonair gusto by lead vampire Dave Vanian that it almost becomes a love song by default.
That most awkward of subjects, love, was mostly off the agenda in the speed driven years of the glorious revolution etc.īut fear not! There were moments when it popped its head above the ramparts and that emotional stuff was discussed in song with various levels of sophistication.Įasily the greatest writers of the punk rock love song and perhaps some of the greatest love songs of all time, Buzzcocks twisted every nuance out of the word love and made the simple trick of the pop love song into these perfect vignettes full of double meaning and complexities…pure genius like on this song of a jilted lover.
