It's the same riff as Life Goes On by the Damned.
The Sex Pistols freely admit to ripping off In the City for Holidays in the Sun.

Beat me to it re: "Life Goes On."
Re: "In the City" and "Holidays in the Sun," I have always thought it was the opposite as The Jam never really fit into the '77 punk thing and were trying (not very well) to hide their mod leanings then. I guess I was wrong, though!

I always liked Elastica. Second best UK band of the 90s, right behind Pulp.

Isn't that SSD a Buzzcocks cover though?

Right you are - and I'll admit not knowing that. (I also didn't realize that DOA's "Fuck You" was a cover as well, until recently.)

I call bullshit on that -- no way the TVP's played the Falcon.

Honestly, I had no idea until years after listening to "Get It Away" all the time, so no worries!

But I want to know more about the scenario of Danny's head-y offer. Do tell, my friend.

Danny, Justine offered to give you oral pleasure @ a gig Was this back in her druggie days or was she straight when she gave you (what I'd say) "was an offer you can't refuse". Or did you turn her down being a married man She is one sexy lady to me. Everyone here who has a hard-on for Lydia Lunch ... Justine is incredibly hot/Lydia is not. Wow, what a nice story.
I'm surprised nobody got this one. Monkee's "Last train to Clarksville" is The Undertones "One way Love".
