    Around the time this came out they also had an album called Love Bites and I went into my local record store in Camberley and asked the girl if she had love bites. She got all embarrassed but I explained it was by the Buzzcocks and she found me a copy. We chatted, I asked her for a date and we have been married for 40 years now. Brings back great memories. Thanks guys.

    Must have been 1980 by time I heard the Buzzcocks out here in Oz as I got into punk. Never thought I would get to see a pommy punk band but one day we were holidaying in Adelaide South Australia and there was a poster on a pole advertising the Buzzcocks at a local pub (1990). I didn’t believe it would actually be them, maybe just a cover band… but wouldn’t you know it it was them, and sounded exactly as they did on all my albums. One of my best memories. I’m 60 now and still crank them out regularly ❤

    You spurn my natural emotions
    You make me feel like dirt and I'm hurt
    And if I start a commotion
    I run the risk of losing you and that's worse
    Ever fallen in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    You shouldn't have fallen in love with
    I can't see much of a future
    Unless we find out what's to blame, what a shame
    And we won't be together much longer
    Unless we realize that we are the same
    Ever fallen in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    You shouldn't have fallen in love with
    You disturb my natural emotions
    You make me feel like dirt and I'm hurt
    And if I start a commotion
    I'll only end up losing you and that's worse
    Ever fallen in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    You shouldn't have fallen in love with
    Ever fallen in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    You shouldn't have fallen in love with
    Ever fallen in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    Ever fallen in love, in love with someone
    You shouldn't have fallen in love with

      when I saw them in '89 at One Step Beyond, the bass player was completely high, and at one point in the show either Pete or Diggle looked at him and he just slowly shook his head in a "no" manner, I've never forgotten it. I'm guessing it was acid. The next time they came back Mike Joyce was drumming and they sounded even better.
