Satellite
Sex Pistols · The Greatest Rock'n'Roll Swindle
your too dumb baby and you got no brain
i bet you're all so happy in surburbian dream
but i'm only laughing
you ain't in my scheme
baby
i love you
i love you
i love you
i only ever listen when you're on the phone
from your safety-restricted zone home
when i got nothing better to do
then there's always you
you're good for my shoe
hey babe
i love you
i love you
i love you
you look at me and you just can't tell
you're looking like you just came outta hell
acting like a dirty lavatory
there ain't no bid for your chastity
hey baby
i love you
i love you
i love you
i'm in love
i'm really in love
try and join the scene but you're too obscene
you're looking like a big fat baked bean
how did you figure that you'd be any use
when all you're gonna get is my abuse
hey babe
i love you
i love you
i love you
you know i don't like where you come from
it's just a satellite of london
and when you look me i the eye
i just remember i wanna die
hey babe
i love you
i love you
i love you
i can't take no more just stop
