Here lies Poly... R.I.P.


X-Ray Spex 'Germ Free Adolescents' (1978)
I know I'm artificial
But don't put the blame on me
I was reared with appliances
In a consumer society
When I put on my make-up
The pretty little mask not me
That's the way a girl should be
In a consumer society
My existence is elusive
The kind that is supported
By mechanical resources
My existence is elusive
The kind that is supported
By mechanical resources
I wanna be instamatic
I wanna be a frozen pea
I wannna be dehydrated
In a consumer society

Who knows...maybe this song was the actual inspiration behind Madonna's much-loathed "Material Girl"! RIP Miss Styrene (always a sad day when a punk rocker goes down).

I'll always love her music. The world lost a true talent, and a sweet soul.

I miss her, and missed the amazing sounds of this band. Thank you so much for reminding me of this music!
