Public Image Ltd. - The Body Lyrics






When you run about
Without precautions
You'll get diseased
And need abortions
And up till now
No vaccination
Can give you back your reputation

We want
We want your body
...

Cathy go home
Without your daughter
In a welfare state
She'll be well looked after
And it's easy now
This other person
Is off your back not a burden

We want
We want your body
...

    Awesome ! ... Never seen this video in France...

  5. k.... ....

    A succinct clearly communicated overture

  6. R.... A....

    I think one of my favorites from PIL.

  7. D.... ....

    So the only awareness I had of this song was from the trailer for Freejack (1991 sci-fi movie starring Emilio Estevez, Renee Russo, Mick Jagger & Anthony Hopkins) I saw when I was a kid. I had literally never heard this song in full...only a 5 or 10 second snippet. A couple of weeks ago, Freejack popped into my head randomly and I decided to go back to finally watch the movie. Then this song popped up from the deepest darkest recesses of my memory due to its association with Freejack. And here I am, 20:40pm, 21st of May, 2018 finally hearing this song in full for the first time ever. LOL!

    D.... ....

    DisonantDyscord It’s a great song.

  8. V.... ....

    Awful! Liked PIL’S first single and Religion. But 99% of their stuff was an annoying dirge of noise and wailing. Lydon was much more enigmatic to me when he was with The Pistols and before mtv. This doesn’t age well at all, nor does Lydon

    V.... ....

    VeloVelo Fuck off this is a great song PIL are a great Band and Rise is a great song too if you don’t like it don’t listen to it.

    V.... ....

    By the same token, Jack, if you don't like the comment don't read it.

    V.... ....

    It is pretty awful isn't it? Lyndon singing the same song over and over again.
    Yes, Rise is better.

    V.... ....

    No doubt you're green day fans. Bore off

  9. D.... M....

    some of the later pil stuff is quite good

  10. D.... S....

    Why had I not seen this video before, Ive been listening to this song for about 18 years. Its so daggy. Love this song though.

  11. J.... D....

    Jhonny Rotten making some bad music.

    J.... D....

    Jose David Sanchez Gomez It’s a great song I’d like to see you do better.

  12. N.... a....

    I haven't seen this video since it came out. Back then they would only play it 'after hours'. Currently banned in the states.

  13. D.... S....

    You can have my ass if you like, Mr Lydon

  14. N.... ....

  26. a.... ....

    lol these clips are so bad and low budget, but so pure and artistic

    a.... ....

    High budget for 1987. Just look at the set, props, extras, costumes and smoke effects. There is even a groovy animation. Branson and Virgin Records must of splashed out for once on a PIL video!

    :/ me gustaba mas en sex pistols.
