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...
If I never ever ever get to see you again
Remember it was you that made me smile
You satisfy the need you created
Not for the first time could be for real
And in times of desperation when I needed a friend
Remember it was you that made it all worthwhile
I sometimes try to fake hesitation
Not for the first time I've started to feel
Straight straight through my heart those arrows fly
Straight straight through my heart and that's no lie
I don't want to play the innocent you know me too well
You still keep me wondering but I don't know why
You satisfy the need you created
And for the first time I feel so real
Straight straight through my heart those arrows fly
Straight straight through my heart and that's no lie
Wait wait for me please don't pass me by
If this world's without you I'd surely die
I'm in the middle of a love without an end
Reality too easy to comprehend
[Solo]
Straight straight through my heart those arrows fly
Straight straight through my heart and that's no lie
Wait wait for me please don't pass me by
If this world's without you I'd surely die
I'm in the middle of a love without an end
Reality too easy to comprehend
Kono yono nani yori ichiban daisuki yo
Remember it was you that made me smile
