Day the World Turned Day-Glo

Pimping this slide show homage to the Women of 1970s punk rock is the X-Ray Spex and Poly Styrene belting out their smash—Day the World Turned Day-Glo (1978).



I clambered over mounds and mounds
Of polystyrene foam
Then fell into a swimming pool
Filled with fairy snow

And watched the world turn
Day-glo you know you know
The world turned day-glo you know

I wrenched the nylon curtains back
As far as they would go
Then peered through perspex window panes
At the acrylic road

I drove my polypropolene car
On wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun

The x-rays were penetrating
Through the latex breeze
Synthetic fibre see-thru leaves
Fell from the rayon trees

Punk Rock Girls

By the Queers.



Leather jackets, stupid boyfriends,
poor report cards, life is just a ball
Hi- top Chucks and bubblegum and oh my gosh I'd
love to love them all
They're so cool their style is never cramped
Too much of everything and everyone is amped
Well, don't get hot and bothered
listen, I know I got problems
I also know just what this goofy world needs

Yummy yummy punk rock girls
I wish they all were punk rock girls

The smartest of the smartest and the sweetest of
the sweetest, they're the most
Me and Dr. Frank have both decided that we love
them more than toast
I wish they'd let me share their bubblegum
And let me hang with them and life would be so fun
I should be sedated cuz my heart is all inflated
I guess I gotta get me one or two

[Chorus]

I don't know where I'm going, but I know just
where I'd like to be
With my punk rock girlfriend kissing me
Let's go
