- lyrics -
People said we couldn´t play
They called us foul-mothed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
They all drowned when the air turned blue
´Cos we didn´t give a toss
Filthy lucre, ain´t nothing new
But we all get cash from chaos
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock´n´roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
E.M.I. said you´re out of hand
And they gave us the boot
But they couldn´t sack us, just like that
Without giving us the loot
Thank you kindly A&M
They said we were out of bounds
But that ain´t bad for two weeks work
And 75,000 pounds
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock´n´roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock´n´roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
I just wanna play with my band
Are you good enough for me
Hi ya boys I´m the choosen one
Can´t you ***ing see
I´m a jealous god and I want everything
And I love you with a knife
I´ll take you, if you´re ready for me
And I´ll give you my life
The time is right for Nickey´s Special
The greatest rock´n´roll star
The time is right for me, now!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SEX PISTOLS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
