Buzzcocks are an English punk rock band formed in Bolton, Greater Manchester, UK in 1976, led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Pete Shelley for nearly their entire existence.  They are commonly regarded as an important influence on the manchester music scene, the independent record label movement and the punk rock, power pop, pop punk and indie rock genres in general. They are primarily remembered for their singles, a string of would-be hits that combined a strong grasp of pop song craftsmanship with rapid-fire punk energy.

Pete Shelley et Howard Devoto sont les deux fondateurs du groupe. Devoto quitte le groupe en Fevrier 1977 avant l'enregistrement du premier album et fonde le groupe Magazine. Le premier album Another Music In A Different Kitchen est une réussite emblématique du mouvement, morceaux courts, nerveux, incisifs. Les albums suivants conservent la même énergie maîtrisée.  Le style de Buzzcocks apparaît comme une tentative réussie de concilier l'esprit et la créativité de la pop britannique (The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who

Die Buzzcocks sind eine Punkband der ersten Punk-Welle und wurden 1976 in Manchester, England gegründet. Sie gelten als Wegbereiter des Pop-Punks.

Nachdem Pete Shelley und Howard Devoto zwei Konzerte der Sex Pistols besucht hatten, waren sie derma

According to the Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)? Songfacts, Buzzcocks' songwriter Pete Shelley was inspired by some dialogue (&quot;Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have&quot;) in the musical film Guys &amp; Dolls. He was watching it in an Edinburgh guest house TV lounge and the line leapt out. He wrote the lyrics, the next day.

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Overreacting

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Suggestion: during the verses, it can sound pretty cool if you
get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
