Lydon is a real genius. With Pistols HE invented an image and a very influential music style. With PIL he composed one of most original and influential music. And he made very Big Money but is it wrong? "Big Money" i think is like addiction like drugs and alcool :-) God Bless John Lydon

She used to climb in a tree house she had mental health issues she wrote lots if letter to rotten he ignored them but when she said she had an abortion he snapped pure angst in this song not just aboyt shock value also she turned up to a pistol gig with something not very nice round her neck.my friend drove by her house she still lives in Birmingham. Great track real ironic it was written about a fan. I'm a huge fan and collector met John and Glen seen them 6 times live on reunion tours I'm a fan with a good knowledge of the group let's do an open uni degree I will pass 👍

No they're not, they give people the ability to have more control over their life, if circumstances don't go too well. People should have the freedom of choice. Johnny himself said he wasn't making it in anger over her having a abortion, he made it because she was batshit crazy. (she supposedly brought the foetus to a gig) He has actually publicly stated that people should have the freedom of choice over the issue.

That's pretty much 100% what the song is about -- and with no holding back, that's for sure! She was a girl from Birmingham She just had an abortion She was a case of insanity Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree She was a no-one who killed her baby She sent her letters from the country She was an animal She was a bloody disgrace Dragged on a table in a factory Illegitimate place to be In a packet in a lavatory Die, little baby screaming Body, screaming fucking bloody mess Not an animal It's an abortion Throbbing squirm Gurgling bloody mess I'm not a discharge I'm not a loss in protein I'm not a throbbing squirm, ugh Fuck this and fuck that Fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat She don't want a baby that looks like that I don't want a baby that looks like that Body, I'm not an animal Body, an abortion

ya only its not "she lived in a tree" its a whole name of a person.. I can't remember how the last name is spelled exactly but its like galligenistri or something like that.. It was a real person one of the first to actual get a legal abortion (they used to be illegal) and that pissed Johnny off so he made this song about her.. But its the woman's complete name
@StormOneUK7 жыл бұрын
From wiki ... there is a link to source for this but it's broken.. "The song was, like all other Sex Pistols songs, credited to the entire band, though Vicious was in the hospital with hepatitis when the band wrote it. It is mostly about a fan named Pauline, who was (as the song states) from Birmingham. She had been in a mental institution, where she apparently lived in a tree house,[2] in the garden of the institution. This was where the line 'Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree' comes from." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies_(Sex_Pistols_song)
