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 you live in a dream
Life's not what it seems
This is the time for your wake up call
No sense of being
No way of seeing
This is the time for your wake up call
(Oooooo - oooooo - oooooo)
(Oooooo - oooooo - oooooo)
On that ice you swerve
Well you got a nerve
This is the time for your wake up call
When you're living a lie
Can't see eye to eye
This is the time for your wake up call
(Oooooo - oooooo - oooooo)
(Oooooo - oooooo - oooooo)
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what were you thinking of
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what were you thinking of
No cause for alarm
It can't do you no harm
This is the time for your wake up call
So you walk in your sleep
All those dreams you can keep
This is the time for your wake up call
(Oooooo - oooooo - oooooo)
(Oooooo - oooooo - oooooo)
