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...
I don't know what to do with my life
Should I give it up and make a new start
I don't know what to do with my life
'Cos the one I've got just tears me apart
I can't wake up in the morning
And I can't get to sleep at night
I'm not expecting things to be perfect
But a high success rate would be nice
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what's gone wrong with my life
But you know I never do seem to win
Whenever I think I've straightened it out
It becomes a vicious circle again
I can't love when anyone loves me
And I can't find the someone to love
But then I start to count my blessings
And I feel I'm getting more than enough
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
[Solo]
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what's gone wrong with my life
But you know I never do seem to win
Whenever I think I've straightened it out
It becomes a vicious circle again
I can't love when anyone loves me
And I can't find the someone to love
But then I start to count my blessings
And I feel I'm getting more than enough of love
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
It's my life
