Bloody literary genius bloke John is , thanks for presenting these essential lyrics of British poetry and literature to we the people. All the more real today for that matter.
that's a common glib hipster LIE about the Sex Pistols. Read Johnny's autobiography. Mclaren (whom I knew) had nothing to do with their MUSIC. He introduced a couple of them, he got them some gigs, did a little promotion. The Sex Pistols wrote all their music, expressing what John Lydon, Johnny Rotten, wanted to express, with great songwriting. Maclaren was nowhere near the studio or rehearsals.
Pensar que ya hay una generación completa que conoce el Muro de Berlín solo por fotos y documentales históricos!!!. Cuando le cuento a los pibes de 20 años que yo lo vi cuando era chico me miran como si les contara que conocí a los dinosaurios, así de viejo me hacen sentir. Y solo tengo 48 años!!!!
Ever since i got my Bass I've been open to Bands i don't know much about and i've looked at Red Hot Chili Peppers and Korn but The Sex Pistols are amazing so far.
Wylen Blevins red hot chilli will give you diarrhea and korn comes out the other end undigested .....so go with the pistols ....I'm only an embryo and I've been listening to em before I was even born .
Check out Stone Temple Pilots, too. I always liked them, but I never really, really appreciated them until I got my first bass. That guy's special. Also Rancid. If you like the Pistols... Rancid's guy Matt is the best bassist in punk. Maybe in rock

"its too many closets I went in before" doesnt sound quite right; I hear something like "when will it fall" or something with "fall" which is an image that matches the idea of a wall and maybe an ironic reference to Pink Flloyd's The Wall, which was released around that time. Fall also is a clear rhyme to wall, not that rhyme is their objective.
Yes, it sounds like "Oh when will it fall." I have always thought since I bought my first copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks" in 1978 that the lyrics are, "Oh when will we fall." I wore my first copy out, as I was always stopping it and "rewinding" it to get the lyrics right. I used to handwrite the lyrics as I heard them, and I was right much of the time, but some I just could not hear clearly. I just checked online. Many sources write the lyrics as "I went in before," but the Sex Pistols official website has the lyrics as "Oh when will we fall." I also just read online that the song is about a vacation the Sex Pistols took to Berlin to get away from London. They initially went to Jersey in England, but they were kicked out. Jersey was sunny; Berlin was damp and rainy. At the time, the Cold War was on, so there was always some tension that the Soviets would invade western Europe. The Berlin Wall, which was constructed in 1961 and dismantled from 1989-92, was a source of international scorn and ridicule, as it separated families and repressed those on the eastern side. I have always thought that the lyrics were some cynical remark that the Soviets with their communist agenda will eventually take over, which is how many people felt at the time. West Berlin (and western Europe) were seen as decadent, and ultimately easy pickings for the austere communists. The SPs on their vacation did sense the eastern Berliners looking over the wall at the western Berliners, and vice-versa. All of this created an atmosphere of tension, confusion, and ultimately a sense of the futility of the wall. "Holidays in the Sun" was released on October 14, 1977, two weeks before Never Mind the Bollocks. Pink Floyd's "The Wall" was released in November 1979.
I think it's actually "senssurround sound in a two inch wall". Either way I'd always figured it was about watching TV; the "two inch wall" are the bits of the television set surrounding the screen. So I interpret the line as essentially "I was watching the telly while waiting for the communist call".
I'll offer my guess. I bought my first copy of "Never Mind the Bollocks" in 1978. I bought an import copy of the UK version, which was way edgier and raw than the US version! "Holidays in the Sun" was released in October 1977, two weeks before "Bollocks." in 1974, Sensurround was introduced with the release of the movie "Earthquake." Sensurround increased certain bass levels so that the theater audience actually felt the sounds of the buildings crashing and all. It was used in other films throughout the mid 1970s, but the success of "Star Wars" in 1977 with its multi-track speaker system gave Sensurround its retirement. When the SPs wrote and recorded "Holidays," Sensurround was something that was around at the time. Sensurround had its drawbacks in that it actually caused damage to theatre walls, and it was so noisy that sometimes the audience in the adjacent theatre(s) would complain that they could not hear their own movies. I just read that "Holidays" is about the SPs vacation to Berlin, where it was damp and rainy. They initially went to Jersey in England, where it was sunny, but they were kicked out. From 1949-90, Berlin was a divided city. Built in 1961, the Berlin Wall split families, and was the object of international criticism, as it repressed the east Berliners. At the time, the Cold War was ongoing. There was a certain amount of tension that the Soviet-backed eastern European states would attack and overrun western Europe. Berlin was in East Germany, so it no doubt was a chaotic, confusing place that produced the paranoia the SPs sensed and wrote about. They did see the "austere" east Berliners looking at the "decadent" westerners, and vice-versa. Of course, those in the U.K. did not want the communists to take over, so they resisted direct and indirect efforts to that effect. When the SPs recorded a song about this, it caused more outrage. I guess that maybe...well...the reference to a "two inch wall" has something to do with Sensurround disturbing the audiences of other theatres because all the noise is just that...noise. All the political rhetoric and bombast of the Cold War proved null and void because nobody invaded any country. It did rattle nerves for decades, though. Maybe...perhaps...the Pistols are saying that the Berlin Wall, although it covered miles, was, because of its evil intents and purposes, nothing more than a flimsy "two inch wall" that was ultimately demolished easily. I do like the comment that maybe it connotes television watching, as the walls in any house or apartment are very thin. I remember many news reports about the communist threats back then, and because people were inundated with them, their effect was that they were way noisier than reality, and thus tainted the simple truth that there are no differences between the West Berliners and East Berliners. Ultimately, I have always though that the Sensurround reference was pretty much a gimmick. It was something that was on its way out, but it was still hip enough to fit in to the song's lyrics.
La frase literal es ¨un sonido surround en un muro de 2 pulgadas, yo estuve esperando la llamada comunista¨.Para mi esta frase es un juego de palabras que no tiene una traducción literal.Sería como si dijera ¨una voz portentosa sobre las montañas, Dios respondió mis súplicas¨.
Oh The Berlin Existed Unfortunately ! ( Though I will be told to "Get Over it " Ha ha as they say ) and The Gestapo existed and so did the K.G.B. TOOO much Paranioa !!!!!!!!!
Well, after so many years we come to realise how useful this Berlin wall was... 'Cause no we have Mrs Merkel to point finger towards Europe. Shame, since she comes from East side !

Maybe...perhaps...the Pistols are saying that the Berlin Wall, although it covered miles, was, because of its evil intents and purposes, nothing more than a flimsy "two inch wall" that was ultimately demolished easily. I do like the comment that maybe it connotes television watching, as the walls in any house or apartment are very thin. I remember many news reports about the communist threats back then, and because people were inundated with them, their effect was that they were way noisier than reality, and thus tainted the simple truth that there are no differences between the West Berliners and East Berliners. Ultimately, I have always though that the Sensurround reference was pretty much a gimmick. It was something that was on its way out, but it was still hip enough to fit in to the song's lyrics.
Hi Leon Prodanovic! I offer my thoughts underneath Biggie Trismegistus's comments.
...and for another great song re: sensurround, have a listen to "eight track mind" by the Chrome Cranks.
La frase literal es ¨un sonido surround en un muro de 2 pulgadas, yo estuve esperando la llamada comunista¨.Para mi esta frase es un juego de palabras que no tiene una traducción literal.Sería como si dijera ¨una voz portentosa sobre las montañas, Dios respondió mis súplicas¨.

His voice sucks! I bet he can not hit a single note...
But music it's not always about that. His voice is so full of... magic in the form of sarcasm. He gives live and a (huge) attitude to songs...
