Skupina první anglické punkové vlny, vznikající pod vlivem newyorské new wave a londýnských Sex Pistols v Manchesteru v r. 1976.
Už po realizaci prvního EP Spiral Scratch (leden 1977) odchází H. Devoto a zakládá Magazine. Krátce na to dochází...
Lester Sands has been working very hard
Keeping up with what's gone down
Lester Sands is really in touch
With what and who's in town
Lester Sands bores the ass off me
Lester Sands is a big headcase
I am getting so sick of the sight
Of Lester Sands' face
He thinks he'll be someone someday (No way)
He thinks he'll get somewhere someway (No way)
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands - a drop in the ocean
He'd better pull himself together
Do something speedy or else
Lester Sands will be shown the ropes
Lester Sands will hang himself
Lester Sands big mouth extraordinaire
He's pulled a muscle in his head
Lester Sands strings his words together
'Cos his senses have fled
He thinks he'll be someone someday (No way)
He thinks he'll get somewhere someway (No way)
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands - a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands is a stupid fucker
Lester Sands will stay that way
Lester Sands just gathers his trash
And brings it 'round everyday
Lester Sands you better scram
If you want to get out alive
Or are you lookin' to get friendly
with somebody's bunches of fives
He thinks he will be someone someday (No way)
He thinks he will give someone away (No way)
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands - a drop in the ocean
