Song of the day - 17: Subway Sect


"Everyone is a prostitute/Singing this song in prison/Moral standards, the wallpaper/The war is a bad religion..."

First band (strictly speaking) that I ever saw. Went out and bought this single the next day. Even now, Vic's words can reduce me to tears of frustration.

    You're taking a foxy kind of stand,
    While tens of thousands find it in demand.
