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...
Hey there you with your head in the sand
I'm try'n'a tell you something you'll understand
I wanna spend my time in a passionate way
These feelings keep on growing inside me day by day
The things you do make me so hot
I'd give you everything I've got to give
Let's cut in two the Gordian Knot
Release a power much greater than this foolish pride
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Hey there you with your head in a cloud
Don't let nobody tell you're not allowed
You'd have no hesitation if only you knew
The sweetness of sensations in store for you
The things you do make me so hot
I'd give you everything I've got to give
Let's cut in two the Gordian Knot
Release a power much greater than this foolish pride
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
[Solo]
The things you do make me so hot
I'd give you everything I've got to give
Let's cut in two the Gordian Knot
Unleash a power much greater than this foolish pride
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
Oh no I'm never gonna give it up
I'm never ever gonna give it up
