about

The first studio recording of the classic 'Rock Section' by Skin Patrol shortly before they became One Million Fuzztone Guitars. As featured on the Dayglo Maradona 'Rock Section remix. This was recorded in October 1980, and is not the version from the gig referred to in '131' (the only one by this line up as they were banned from every venue) which did not take place until (secretly) in March 1981, after which Steve left and was replaced with a drum machine and 'One Million Fuzztone Guitars' were born. In those 5 months they attained a veneer of professionalism, until 'Rock Section' hit the stage. Big Jake.

lyrics

A voice in the wilderness
Stagnant water
Lying over me
A voice you do not hear
Contempt illuminates
Eternal bullshit
Sing
Cliff Richards

A gigantic hoax
Self-perpetuating
Another weekend slaughter
Rock'n'roll is what we're killing

Give up your kicks
Stop waking the dead
Or I will kill you
Time now for us
For fun

If you are not joking
You are not my friend
I killed him like
The skin on milk
