You Know

The Damned waren immer die Ersten: die erste Punk-Single, die erste USA-Tournee einer Punk-Band, die erste Band-Auflösung, die erste Reunion – und der erste Tribut an den Stooges-Saxophonisten Steven Mackay!

You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You've got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
You won't fool anybody
Not even for a while

You know you know
You know honey you know
You know you know
You know you know

Can't stop thinkin' of you
All the ways you go on
Don't try to tell me baby
All your plastic has gone
You know we need your honey
Like I need a loan
Your time is running out now
Unless we're really on a go

Well you know you know
You know yes you know
You know you know
You know you know

You know you know
You know honey

You've got your plastic cards
But you can't create
You're got your open bars
But you can't relate
Pretty as a mirror
Ugly as your smile
You won't fool anybody
Not even for a while

You know why
You know you know
You know honey you know
You know you know
You know you know
You know you know

The Damned "You know" (download)

This is my favourite track from the second The Damned album "Music for pleasure" but I had to read "Punk Rock. An Oral History" by John Robb to realize that "You know" is a tribute to The Stooges saxophone player Steven Mackay. By the way, it's a great book. Buy it!
