Back on the boards in Manchester town
With bags of tricks to please
Even the hardest-hearted haters of fun.
And, as gay as a lark on a breeze,
To serve you well in truth and jest
And, just a touch of tease
Is Our Profession,
Boldly masked in paint and fineries.

Remember us.
In Blank Generation, Richard Hell's notorious hymn to disaffected youth, the auteur claims himself
a ‘cartoon long forsaken by the public eye' – a totem for a column of society with nothing to
say and no voice with which to say it. It gets to the very core of why ‘punk' (the movement and
the statements, not the often desperate excuse for music) formed and proved pertinent anthems for a
section of that social grouping for whom God Save the Queen was less a call to arms and more the
snot nosed outpourings of a confused loon from North London.
