You can't pick two fucking words to put together.
- Pick someone else, then. - Chuck it on a page...
- Boring! - ...that'd be fucking amazing!
Why don't you pick a decent band, then?
At least I picked the band and not a fucking word, mate.
Oi, out the way!
- Fucking given up or something? - Silly cunt!
Can't say I love all of that spitting,
but we're getting better, ain't we?
A little.
- You need originals. - I...
Tell that to our rotten-toothed genius.
The only time that little fucker runs out of words
is when we're trying to write songs.
Speaking of songs, do you wanna come back to mine?
Why would I wanna do that?
Well, we, um...
We didn't finish "Starman".
I think we did.
We didn't, we didn't do the bridge.
There's no bridge in "Starman".
There is when I do it.
- I'm meeting Nick. - Why?
- He's not even in a band. - Chrissie!
True, but he has got impeccable timing.
Good night, Jonesy.
[Sid] Where are we going?
Where are we going now?
Those monitors...
Nobody likes hearing themselves for the first time.
- Do I always sound like that? - No!
Thank Christ.
No, normally you're much more out of tune than that.
Oh, stay there, stay there.
You were having fun tonight. I could see you up the front.
Jumping up and down.
He's amazing.
Look, singers are all ponces.
It's the guitarist what does all the grunt work,
- if you know what I mean. - I think he's dead clever.
All those sad, angry stories.
They're all covers, he didn't write them.
But he sang 'em like he did.
I played 'em like I did an' all.
I like to play.
I've been told me fingering is quite magnificent.
You want to see what's in my bag, don't you?
Nah, not really.
Good, cos I'm not gonna show ya.
[Steve] Right, Rotten is more your type.
You have a nice night, love, all right.
You too, bab. Take care.
It's fucking cold out here.
John.
- Yeah? - Er, Neil Spencer, NME.
Oh, the "enemy".
You can say that again.
Tell your readers that it was unhygienic but glorious.
Ah, our guitarist, Steve Jones.
Right, so, uh, what do you wanna say with your music?
Oh, no, actually, we're not into music.
We're into chaos.
Yeah, that's good.
Say I said it. He don't read the NME.
- Too many long words. - Oh, one other thing to mention
is that our only original is written by me.
Half-witten in reference to his half.
Our Wordsmith is 'all handle, no hammer'.
- Can I quote that? - Certainly.
No, you fucking can't!
The problem is that the other morons
can't write music worthy of my lyrics.
Right, and how long's the band been together?
- Six... - Four months.
Seems more.
Right, well I predict you'll have a very long and, uh...
happy future.
- Night-night. - [Malcolm] Thank you.
Thanks so much for coming.
[Squealing]
...fucking having a go about me like that
in front of other people.
Do you have a press pass or anything for that?
Er, no, I'm... I'm a student. I...
I just filmed it cos I liked it.
Well, I'm not happy. I should confiscate that.
No, no. It belongs to the film school. Look...
I'm not trying to make money or anything, it's just...
I've never seen anything like this before.
You know, the Sex Pistols, man, they're like...
the only thing happening in London right now, and...
I wanna capture it.

- Let's try again. - I don't wanna sing like that.
We don't want him sounding like Mario Lanza.
What do you want to sound like?
Well, I mean, I was thinking of a kind of Bowie-ish...
Elvis Presley sort of sound,
with maybe a dash of Alice Cooper.
Shut up, Malcolm!
Perhaps it might be best if you waited outside.
No, John needs...
Wait outside or I'll shove Beethoven's head up your arse!
OK.
- Now, I'll just be outs... - Out!
When I was young, I wanted to sing like Maria Callas.
- She's an opera singer. - I know who Callas is.
Greek.
One of the greatest. Bit of a diva.
- I'm impressed. - Why?
Because I look like a shabby little moron
who don't know a treble clef from a cleft palate?
- Not at all. - I don't, by the way.
No need to.
You're going to tell me that after wasting your youth
trying to be UK Callas,
you finally realised that the only person you could be
was... you,
and that realisation brought you true happiness,
et cetera, et cetera.
Bugger! You've guessed my best trick.
Thank you.
But that sentiment is of no use to me.
Last night I was myself.
But hearing myself was a bloody nightmare.
If you don't want to sing, then don't.
Performing's not for everyone.
Perhaps it's not for you.

[Jordan] I'm thinking I need to start
being more confrontational with the customers.
Yeah, all right, pet. Lovely.
If we're not careful, this place could become a shop.
And then really, what's the point?
Mm.
Who are those for?
They're for me, my dear.
How and where are they to be worn?
Well, that's rather private.
[Jordan] I don't think so. This is not a fetish shop.
These knickers are the spark plugs of a revolution.
How thrilling.
[Jordan] The proprietors of this establishment
are very influenced by William Reich's theories
about mass psychology and fascism.
[Man] Ah, that explains a lot.
[Jordan] Reich says that fascism is caused by sexual repression.
[Man] I honestly could not agree more.
[Jordan] If we don't start talking about sex more,
and don't stop being so repressed,
we're going to end up with a dictator.
Isn't that right, Vivienne?
We live to proclaim, not to shame.
Sadly, I'm not in a position to proclaim.
Then I can't sell them to you. Can I, Vivienne?
Well, I mean, we can always make an exception.
Are we going to be on the news?
- In a fashion, yes. - [Jordan] The news? What?

- Is there a review? - [Viv] Hmm?
[Jordan] What's it say, then?
[Viv] Oh, I'm just reading the small ads.

- Yeah, so stuck-up. - Mm.
- Read it out. - Why?

Be nice for us all to hear it out loud together.

Sorry, I thought you were,
seeing as you dress exactly like her.

Yeah...
- Typical NME. - Mm.

Nah.
Except for that last bit.
Yeah, Malcolm's gonna love that.
- Yeah. - Which bit? Which bit again?
The last bit.
[Glen] Oh, finally!
Now we can rehearse.
- Have you read it? - Not interested.
[Glen] Oh, I bet he's read it.
I bet he's bought up every copy in Finsbury Park
and wallpapered his room with it.
What do you want to be, Glen?
You what?
I know what I wanna be. I wanna be in a band
where the geezer what writes the words writes some.
"Lazy Sod" might be a bit simple,
but it's better than fuck all,
which is all you've come up with.
How am I supposed to be inspired,
when my collaborators are a mummy's boy,
a pleaser, and a moron?
How about I fix your teeth with my guitar?
Maybe that'll inspire you.

[Cookie] No. I'm leaving the band. For good.
[Steve] Oh... don't be daft.

Malcolm is Malcolm. Waste of time.
[Steve] Yeah, we're gonna be good.

[Joe] I'll get it.
Oh, well done.
[Joe] Mum.
I need to see Malcolm.
There was a girl in the shop looking for you.
[John] I don't care.
You will.
Tell Malcolm that I'm seriously considering leaving the band.
Good.
You don't even care, do ya?
You think I should?
I wouldn't expect it.
That's exactly like you people.
Why are you printing swastikas with your children?
Ben knows, don't you?
Mum and Malcolm want
to not only reject the values of the older generation
but also their, um...
- Taboos. - Yeah, taboos.
Everything's "anti". That means opposite.
Thank you.
Jesus is upside down,
and I chose pink for this swastika
because the Nazis hated homosexuals...
...and they made them wear pink triangles.
Nazis would hate their swastika being pink.
[John] Many millions of Jews
might hate a shirt with a swastika on it.
Possibly. But Malcolm's Jewish, and it was his idea.
Do you know why nothing ever changes?
It's because people's minds are too imprisoned
by lies, fear...
...and a misguided respect for the very institutions
that have exploited them for centuries.
I want to destroy all that,
so that out of the chaos...
...the future can emerge.
We don't hate Jews, or gays, or Christians.
- We don't hate anyone, do we? - No.
Except for Nazis.
And racists and fascists in general.
And people who are too boring or scared
to stand up and say what they mean.
Goodbye, John.
How's that for a melody?
Was that last chord a 'B' suspended 7th
of an augmented 'E'?
[Laughs] Don't be ridiculous.
Just an 'E' on the bass over...
Oh, Jesus! Glen!
We're not in a Paul fucking McCartney fucking tribute band!
- It's a great melody! - If you're a pensioner!
What are the chords?
- 'C' suspended 2nd. - 'C'!

Next.
- 'F' major 7th suspended 2nd. - 'F'.
- Yes, that's it. - 'F'.

Right? Played like a kick in the guts.
'E' on the bass over an open 'C'.
'E'! Played like a fucking Sex Pistol!

No, I'll just sell it.

Don't worry, we'll easily find another drummer.
You're playing it too fast.
It's about chaos and destruction.
It has to be fast.
Yeah, the only thing you're destroying is my ears.
You sound like the Ramones on pills.
Your lyrics might be quite good, John.
But what's the point if no one can hear 'em?
Look, if you're gonna do it...
...think reggae.
It drives, but it doesn't give it all away.
Oh, yeah, and it is the music of the disenfranchised,

The point is to get up and say something.

"I straightaway sighted a chair flying through the air.
"I thought, they can't be that bad, can they?"
"Then I saw that the person who threw the chair was the singer."
That did happen.
"No one asked for an encore, but they did one anyway.
"'You can't play, ' heckled one punter.
"'So what?' said the bass player.
"One of the band said to me afterwards,
"'Actually, we're not into music."
"'We're into chaos.'"
"One of the band"?
Yeah, John, I guess. He said... Listen.
"We're not into music. We are into chaos."
That's killer.
He's a genius.
John didn't say that. I did.
Does it say he said it?
No, just "one of the band".

and I'm not leaving London until I've conquered London.
You wanna help me conquer London, don't you, Steve?

Because then I'd be married to Nick.

Yeah, it's OK, Jonesy.

I remember looking at my parents' wedding photos
and thinking how old they looked.
The weird dress, and...
...Pops had a suit like he never wore.
I swore I would never do that.
But here I am.
Even though it's fake, it...
...kind of feels like a thing, you know?
Not really. Me dad didn't stick around.
Never married my mum.
So, no photos.
Uh, why are we stopping?
- Meeting Cookie. - Why?
Well, we need witnesses, don't we? For it to be legal.
Here you go. You jump out, I'll park it round the back...

I'm not scared. I'm getting fucking married.

- You didn't propose, man. - He didn't, really, did he?
I suppose he went down on one knee
- and sent you flowers, did he? - Who?
Jones. Are you shagging Jones?
- I'm not marrying Steve. - You lying bitch!
- Oi, fucking get off her! - Hey, that's not right.
- Not on her happy day. - She's marrying me.
I did go down... on one knee.
And there were flowers.
[Cheering]
Right, well, you could have at least told me.
- Why? - I'm your boyfriend.
- Are you? - Ooh!
Yes. God, you're a cold-hearted bitch!
- He's very cross. - OK, enough!
This should be so simple.
Why does everything in London have to involve pubs,
and insults, and so much fucking confrontation?
[John] Confrontation produces truth.
Which is why, I'm afraid, I have to leave you here.
What? Why?
This confrontation has revealed
that there are real emotions here.
Never play with people's emotions.
Sort them out.
[Helen] John!
Come and kiss me, tell me that you miss me.
- Bye. - Right.
Now I'm free.
Shall we get married?
- Um... - How surprising.
[♪ Guitar playing]
I don't care who you fuck, Steve.
When I say I don't care, I really don't care.
I thought we were friends.
But you humiliated me on my fake wedding day.
My fucking happy day.
And even though it was fake...
...I wanted to fake it with you.
You're screwed up.
I get that.
And I'm sorry.
I don't wanna see you anymore.
[♪ Loud chord on guitar]
By the way, your guitar is out of tune.
[♪ Guitar playing resumes]
[Thunder rumbling]
I've been avoiding you.
A lot of people do that.
What have you written on your shirt?
Do you like it?
"When they spat at me..."
"...I spat back."
That's good.
Strong.
No wonder everyone's scared of ya.
That's not why they're scared of me.
They're scared of this.
You don't have to look if you don't want to.
Come in, then.
[♪ Band strikes up]
What have you got?
Truth.
"She was a girl from Birmingham."
- [Pauline] I'm a no one. - Everyone's a no one.
That's not special.
I'm an animal.
I'm a bloody disgrace.
[John] "Her name was Pauline."
"She lived in a tree."
Where the fuck did that come from?
Steve knows.
Don't you, Steve?
I killed my baby.
- Why? - I had no choice.
He made me pregnant.
Then he made me kill her.
"Get rid of it," as he put it.
But I got her back.
I saw where they put her, and I got her back.
She's in here.
I feel a bit better now I've told someone the whole story.
I might leave her behind now.
Not here you won't.
Fuck!
This is my mum's kitchen.
Give her a decent burial somewhere at least.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good idea.
Thanks for the tea.
Can I, uh...
Mm.
Wait.
[♪ Band strikes up]
Fuck!
They got good.
They got powerful.

That song, "Bodies"...
It's good.
It's powerful.
It's all John.
I didn't wanna hear her story.
You did hear her.
She's in the music.
It's about the only thing I'm halfway good at.
Do you...
Do you think that we might ever, uh...
...you know, play again?
Music, I mean?
I dunno.
Stranger things, you know.
Yeah.
It's like the other day.
I found this whole different live version of "Starman".
You're an idiot, Jonesy.
I know.
You wanna hear it?
Just let me know.
