God Save The Queen est le second single du groupe punk the Sex Pistols. Sorti en 1977, le titre est extrait de l'album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols. Il s'attaque à la reine Elisabeth II, à la monarchie et promet un futur nihiliste à l'angleterre. Ce qui explique pourquoi la chanson fit scandale et fut censurée par la BBC. Le morceau est immédiatement rentré dans la légende du rock et du punk.

J'ai décidé de commencer une série d'article consacrés rien qu'à la zikmu. Et pour inaugurer ça, une série de clip illustrant l'histoire du punk, un genre souvent mal aimé car underground et un poil agressif.

 

LONDON CALLING (1979)
par
THE CLASH

London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now dont look at us
All that phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we aint got no swing
'cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

Chorus
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I dont wanna shout
But when we were talking-i saw you nodding out
London calling, see we aint got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

Chorus

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An you know what they said? well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, wont you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a like
