"Let it Rock"

430 Kings Road, the birth of SEX
Leather punctured by a train track of pins
slogan-sloshed t-shirts, uniform.
Two fingers up to British conformity.

"Too fast to live, too young to die"
70's free-thinkers join the fashion picket line
straight jackets and bondage bursting with spirit.
A rebellious attitude Angolmania fans inherit.

Tartan and tweed, tuliped and tailored
History stitched into the red and gold label.
From corsets and crinolines to stripes and pirate boots                                                                           
The stamp of the orb is the biggest clue.   

The high priestess of punk, the queen of seams
sits regally swamped by material reams.
Chalky white skin, orange hair asserting caution,
strapping up her platforms its Ms Che Guevara.
