Bodies - Sex Pistols
She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree
She was a no one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace
Body, I’m not an animal
Body, I’m not an animal
Dragged on a table in a factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a packet in a lavatory
Die little baby, screaming
Body, screamin’, f’ing bloody mess
Not an animal, it’s an abortion
Body, I’m not an animal
Mummy, I’m not an abortion
Throbbing squirm
Gurgling bloody mess
I’m not a discharge
I’m not a loss in protein
I’m not a throbbing squirm
F this and f that
F it all and f the f’ing brat
She don’t wanna baby that looks like that
I don’t wanna baby that looks like that
Body, I’m not an animal
Body, an abortion
Body, I’m not an animal
Body, I’m not an animal
An animal, I’m not an animal
I’m not an animal, an animal
I’m not an animal, I ain’t no animal
I’m not a body
I’m not an animal, an animal
I ain’t no animal, I’m not an animal
I’m not an animal, Mummy
A few years ago I had a very liberal Girlfriend.
We would regularly undertake road trips that had only a few rules, get lost, no highways.
I drove from DC to NYC and only paid one toll (Lincoln Tunnel). In the middle of the night without GPS or a road that had more than one lane in either direction.
We did the same thing going to Niagara Falls. No highways, all back roads. No GPS.
Over time my ability to “get lost” was a challenge.
It was all about the music, sex and drinking along the way.
Cresting Skyline Drive at dawn, after 36 hours of driving with Pink Floyd was an experience that I will never forget.
Heading home ?
A detour ?
Something else to think about.
We found ourselves on Lee HWY after being on the road and drinking continuously for at least 36 hours.
BTW, I’m a really good driver.
She loved the music, as did I.
As we drove past an abortion clinic, with protesters out front, I think it was Creed playing, and I broke down in tears.
She knew my position but did not understand why I was crying.
