Mad Elaine

from Steel Linin' Chant by Junkman's Choir

/

about

Written on the train back to Glasgow about a punk gig in Brighton.

lyrics

Hey Mad Elaine, did you smash your stereo?
Hey Mad Elaine, did you crash Daddy’s DBR?
Hey Mad Elaine, did you burn out Herstmonceux?
Hey Mad Elaine, no school for punk rockers!

Hey Mad Elaine, do you want to shock the world?
Hey Mad Elaine, so you want to rip it apart?
Hey Mad Elaine, just a poor little white bread girl.
Hey Mad Elaine, no school for punk rockers!

Hey Mad Elaine, playing at the primitives’ game.
Hey Mad Elaine, all pose, no soul, no heart.
So Hey Mad Elaine, put down those spikes and chains.
Hey Mad Elaine, no school for punk rockers!

The sound of accordion, pocket trumpet, guitar and vocals, is as unique as it is infectious.
Look out for them on street or stage, stomping out their steel-toed rhythm. ... more
