The ones who sang the following un-pompus lyrics? "...Too many people had the suss Too many people support us Un unlimited amount... ...And sir and friends are crucified A day they wished that we had died We are an addition We are ruled by none Never ever never... ...And you thought that we were faking That we were all just money making... ...Don't judge a book just by the cover Unless you cover just another..." I guess if Mickey, Peter, Davey, and Mike can be allowed to have produced "Head", then it's OK for the pre-fab four of the punk era to produce that "Ballad of John and Yoko" about A&M. No endorsement of Don McLean or Bob Seeger implied or inferred. Just a little bit of deviation from the altar of the Pistols. I do like Anarchy in the U.K. though! :wink:

"...Too many people had the suss
Too many people support us
Un unlimited amount...

...And sir and friends are crucified
A day they wished that we had died
We are an addition
We are ruled by none
Never ever never...

...And you thought that we were faking
That we were all just money making...

...Don't judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another..."
