The Nips - So Pissed Off

The Nipple Erectors, (who in 1978 changed their name to the more radio friendly moniker The Nips) formed in London in 1976 by bassist Shanne Bradley and are best remembered nowadays for featuring the vocal talents of notorious ear biting punk Shane O'Hooligan. I'm sure you all know he changed his name to MacGowan and went on to form Pogue Mahone, who became better known as The Pogues. As for Bradley, she went on to co-found The Men They Couldn't Hang. Before they went their seperate ways however, the band (who's original  line up also featured guitarist Roger Towndrow and drummer Arcane Vendetta) released a string of impressive singles (King Of The Bop, All The Time In The World, Gabrielle and Happy Song) as well as a live album called Only The End Of The Beginning (an anthology called Bops, Babes, Booze and Bovver was posthumously released in 1987 by Big Beat Records). Another famous name to be associated with the band was future Culture Club drummer Jon Moss who had a brief stint on drums before they split.

Today's song is an outtake which didn't make it onto any of the singles but was added to the 1987 anthology, this is So Pissed Off....

The street where I live we don't give a shit 
About the 70's reality or any of it 
Spend the whole night on the piss 
On my hands and my knees looking for a kiss 

So I'm so pissed off, Fuck all that 
So pissed off, Fuck all that 
So pissed off, Don't need no one 
So pissed off, too much fun 

Everyday I meet with the boys from school 
We go down the street, play a bit of pool 
Put a coin in the juke, can't stop the tone 
With the Jubillee trickle and the latest number ones 

So pissed off, Fuck all that 
So pissed off, Fuck all that 
So pissed off, Don't need no one 
So pissed off, too much fun 

Well I don't need nothing except going on the booze 
Don't need to read about people sniffing glue 
Don't need no Ultra big TV 
SAS Bastards the 70's reality 
So pissed off, Fuck all that 
So pissed off, Fuck all that 
So pissed off, Don't need no one 
So pissed off, too much fun 

So pissed off, with the disco beat 
So pissed off, with people I meet 
So pissed off, with lively arts 
So pissed off, with miserable farts 

So pissed off, I get so tight 
So pissed off, I'm feeling alright 
So pissed off, but I'm no jerk 
So pissed off, went right to work 

So pissed off, I'm so pissed off 
So pissed off, I'm so pissed off 
So pissed off, I'm so pissed off 
So pissed off, so pissed off!
