about

Punk and the big wave of 70s feminism flooded the scene around the same time, with some interesting effects. I changed the ‘male’ to ‘female’ supremacy in performance after some careful advice from Kate and Damaris, Brighton feminists up on a visit to Northampton see the band. I didn’t think it made any difference to the song but I knew if I changed the word, they would listen.

In 2009, a friend of mine used the song in the preface to his PhD thesis on stalking.

lyrics

And don’t you point that tongue at me girl,
It might go off and do some damage.
You know a bullet from your lips love
Would send me crashing to the floor!

And male supremacy
It’s the only way to be.
You think you scare me don’t you?
Too right you bloody do!

In the night I wake up screaming,
I feel a banging in my head.
I think you’re staring through the window,
But god you’re lying here in bed!

Couldn’t you leave me honey?
And fall in love with someone else?
Take a plane to South America?
Or take that job in Bangla Desh?

Sometimes I take a sneaky look at you
From the corner of my eye.
I see your gold teeth flashing,
And I think I’m gonna die!

Oh I wish that you would kill me.
Sink your teeth into my heart.
I would feel so very peaceful,
If we were always far apart.

I’d love to run away,
Get away from you forever.
But you would always find me out
Cos you’re so foxy and so clever!

In the night I wake up screaming,
I feel a banging in my head.
I think you’re staring through the window,
But god you’re lying here in bed!

Couldn’t you leave me honey?
And fall in love with someone else?
Take a plane to South America?
Or take that job in Bangla Desh?

Sometimes I take a sneaky look at you
From the corner of my eye.
I see your gold teeth flashing,
And I think I’m gonna die!

And don’t you point that tongue at me girl,
It might go off and do some damage.
You know a bullet from your lips love
Would send me crashing to the floor!

And male supremacy
It’s the only way to be.
You think you scare me don’t you?
Too right you bloody do!
