The Kid With The Replaceable Head:

Too young to drink and too smart to think

Attaches on his head with the missing link

He's skinny as a snake and fast as a mink

But he ain't for sale unless you add the kitchen sink

Look out, here he comes again

They say he's dead, he's my three best friends

He's so honest that the dishonest dread

Meeting the kid with the replaceable head

When you live on a planet the size of a town

You can't get your kicks by getting around

Fun's hard to find on such familiar ground

So you invent it: the mental it's better than found

Look out, here he comes again

They say he's dead, he's my three best friends

He's so honest that the dishonest dread

Meeting the kid with the replaceable head

He used to beat himself up till he was sick and confused

Dead tired and throbbing, half crazy and bruised

Till he'd be too worn out to keep being himself

Now he can pick them at will from the heads on his shelf

Look out, here he comes again

They say he's dead, he's my three best friends

He's so honest that the dishonest dread

Meeting the kid with the replaceable head

The sprinting jumbled bassline in the chorus makes me want to move.

Richard refurbishes a garage rock chord progression, yelps some nifty alienation lyrics, and comes up with another winner. Transcendent guitar lacerations supplied by one Robert Quine of Akron.

....And Patty Smyth from Scandal on the album cover before she broke up with him and had a decent career...thanks to him...Who do you think she did (besides Hell?)? Malcolm McClaren or Brian Eno?? Hmmm...Methinks Eno...McClaren worked more closely with...the bhoys...and after the Pistols broke up...he lost his knack (wreck) for punk...hence, the birth of New Wave!

@JeffreyViper I know right. I kinda wish Ivan could have stayed, but as it is Destiny Street is a must have.

@xxRocketMan14xx Oh, that makes sense. This version sounds so much better over all, but the solos aren't nearly as good. Robert Quin and Ivan Julian are definitely two of my favorite guitarists ever.

@JeffreyViper That version you have is the single from 1979. This version here is from 1982. Also on the single Ivan played on that single. In Destiny Street its a different guitarist called Naux.

Is this the original mix? I have the version from Hell's "best of " album called Spirts and it sounds pretty different, and if this one is the original, then I feel cheated.

@MichealZero1 And for Hardcore please read "crap". They all look the same, they all sound the same, they all say the same things, which it's exactly the opposite of what Punk Rock in 1977 (Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Clash, The Damned, Richard Hell, Dead Boys, Patti Smith, The Stranglers, etc..) was about, i.e: great Rock'n'Roll, after years of Soft Rock (James Taylor, Carly Simon, Carole King) Prog Rock (EL&P, Genesis, Yes... bbbrrr..) & crappy Glam Rock (Elton John, Sweet, etc..)

@MichealZero1 Well actually, if you mean the 80s Hardcore, US and UK differ a lot, the U.S hardcore punk came in more inspired by sloppier, rawer and faster playing, giving it that trademark corrosion; on the other hand, the uk hardcore surged out more from the rising-along heavy metal influence, from bands like motorhead, rather from US bands, plus it was a bit more politically edged. -just to mention :)
