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...
Well I've been up all night
Couldn't get to dream at all
Trying hard not to make a decision
You know it doesn't seem right
When your back's to the wall
To be accused of sensationalism
But the way things are going
Wouldn't be at all surprised
If a song that I liked won the next Eurovision
I turn around and it all looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
It's a mixed up world
These are mixed up times
And the recipe of life is mixed up too
But if it's the quality of ingredients that matter
I would award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking
That you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
You know I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
You know I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through
It's a mixed up world
These are mixed up times
And the recipe of life is mixed up too
But if it's the quality of ingredients that matter
I would award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking
That you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely upon is change
I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely upon is change
