Punk Rock: - Mogwai

Well I’ll tell you about punk rock.

Punk rock is a word used by by dilettantes

And uh, and uh, heartless manipulators about music

That takes up the energies, and the bodies, and the hearts and the souls

And the time, and the minds of young men who give what they have to it

And give everything they have to it

And it’s a, it’s a term that’s based on contempt

It’s a term that’s based in fashion, style, elitism, satanism

And everything that’s rotten about rock 'n' roll

I don’t know Johnny Rotten but, but, I’m sure

I’m sure, he puts as much blood and sweat into what he does

As Sigmund Freud did

You see, what, what sounds to you like a big load of trashy old noise

Is in fact the brilliant music of a genius, myself

And that music is so powerful, that it’s quite beyond my control

And uh, when I’m in the grips of it

I don’t feel pleasure and I don’t feel pain

I just feel no emotions.

Do you understand what I’m talking about?

Have you ever, have you ever felt like that, when you just, when you just

You couldn’t feel anything and you don’t want to either

You know, like that

Do you understand what I’m saying sir?
