Waiting for a miracle, patiently hysterical White cold anger, hate to wait but hope I can hesitate Gone away, comfort for me, something nice you don't foresee Waiting for a miracle, passed time waxing lyrical [Chorus] Couldn’t stop writing love songs, now this one is the last After what you said tonight you are in the past Oh oh-oh oh no, Masochistic Opposite don't pay me no deposit Money wasted, nasty crime, waiting I kill more than time Over dead, no tears shed, I'd like to fill your gut with lead You're a sadist, so am I, say goodbye and you know why Couldn’t stop writing love songs, now this one is the last, after what you said tonight you are in the past Oh oh-oh oh no Harder now just traveling, thoughts like roads unraveling, history fades into death, fight till nothing pretty left Shatter my heart it’s like ice, still feels the touch of your vice Time come, time passed, nothing can bridge that gap, survive that span [Chorus]
Punk Globe: What do you remember about the time you shared a flat with Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious? Jane Crockford: I remember a lot but it was an intense time and really now I would prefer not to share that with the world. John was working hard with the Sex Pistols and really wasn't there with us too much, but I will tell you that Sid could be extremely gentle. Punk Globe: You wrote the most famous song of The Mo-dettes called "White Mice". What can you tell me about that song? Jane Crockford: White Mice is about seducing boys. I wrote it before I met my future husband Woody and really he was such a perfect example, to seduce from afar. It is the girl as predator and this disturbed Rough Trade, our distributors as not being correct! But it was and still is a happy celebration of dating and loving as young, emergent women. Punk Globe: Are you still in contact with your former bandmates? Jane Crockford: I was a very disruptive and energetic force as a song writer and musician, for a couple of the band I think that they have had quite enough of me while I am in contact constantly with Kate and Melissa, the two guitarists. But then they are on another continent. Punk Globe: Did you play in another band after The Mo-dettes disbanded? Jane Crockford: I did try but no, my heart was broken at the demise of the Mo-dettes and I blame the machinations of the record companies and businessmen, I did not want to involve myself with that aspect of music again, so I did play with bands but 'quietly' and with no ambition for commercial success. Punk Globe: If you could live your life again, what would you change? Jane Crockford: I would not change my life, despite the mistakes and darker sequences, as I am now, I am intrigued and still greedy for life and my past has given me that gift. As regards to the Mo-dettes, I wouldn't have let them; (Management and London Records) sack Ramona, for that was the beginning of the end, Kate was soon to follow and then the heart of the Mo-dettes was torn asunder.
I always thought this was, probably, about Kif's relationship with Suze. Well, I was sharing house with him, with his drumkit in the kitchen. Just off Latimer rd when he wrote it. I remember a fire in the kitchen and a visit to Suze's flat way across London. Hmm. It's interesting how socialists hijacked our energy and killed it. I intend to rescue what I can.
I like this band. I could use the songs and blend them into life like experiences. You don't hear rare bands like this anymore, that's what makes it so exciting and intense. Razor.
It is Buzzer's Classic.......but if they had gone down this route with all their songs they would have lost their very essence. I am Buzzcocks number one fan....they are at their best when they two hard guitars, bass and drums. That said, the occasional track like this, or Diggle's "Love is Lies" are great counterpoints.

ithink ya right GEMINI E its the 7inch version ,pure genius ,HOWEVER I personaly prefer the version live on the split live lp with A.T.V. ,,just cos of the hilarious fuk ups n humour in that version ,both fakin excellent though xxtatxx
Yes, GeminiEnfield, it's from that EP. I picked my copy up when I saw H&N in B'ham in about 1979 with The Astronoughts and Dangerous Girls and, bottom of the bill, Duran Duran playing their debut gig. No, really!
Ha yes! I remember that gig. And how we all thought that Duran Duran was a really silly name and not a very good band, and they would never get anywhere :/
i have to thank the Mo-dettes for turning me on to Edith Piaf. I also miss the immediate aftermath of punk .. amateurishness and naivete were allowed, as long as there was enthusiasm and attitude.
Probably I'm just used to the b-side of white mice but I much prefer that more raw and naive version - in fact I hardly recognise this version it's so different
WOW!! If I'm not mistaken, this is the studio version from the rare Dog In Hell 7 inch Vinyl E.P. on Charley Records (CEP 122). Also featured studio versions of Floating Anarchy Radio and Addicted. I haven't been able to play mine for many years as I don't have a record player. Thanks :)
Nice
Banging

Great job

I could also include it in my book

FAb!!
Watch out now !!! nothing but the truth Big O Rip
this is the revolution

If you ask me , they lost their way after about 1980/81. I was a massive fan from spiral scratch through to a different kind of tension ,
ole man trouble leave me alone.
Does anyone have the lyrics to this song? Some passages I can't understand

Now do "white mice", please
not really appropriate on this video... if i find a similar comment on such a video, I might.
I do. What exactly can't be deciphered?
Brunel University 1981. Now where is my time machine?
I had this album once upon a time.
this song is spectacular
this song is spectacular
Awsome band. Real musicians. Not made in a fucking factory.
I guess " it's just the spirit of the age" .......
WOOF WQOF OM
Love this song

Brilliant. Stillhave it on vinyl.

fuck this song
Reconcider
vaya clase tenian estas tipas, vaya voz, vaya sonido... i need this LP!!!!!!! o.O
Send an address, I'll send it you for free!
@@craigbeasley1 really?
All Three?
anybody got "bluebird canyon stomp"?
I would love to hear GOOD PLACES
Looking forward to hearing 'By Your Grace' or, indeed, anything from the 'B' side of 'Gandharva'. So excellent.
Yeah, you tell 'um!
i have to thank the Mo-dettes for turning me on to Edith Piaf. I also miss the immediate aftermath of punk .. amateurishness and naivete were allowed, as long as there was enthusiasm and attitude.
The album version, this version, is the superior. Has any other drummer hammered out beats that fast before this? June's actually approaching 270 BPM!
Probably I'm just used to the b-side of white mice but I much prefer that more raw and naive version - in fact I hardly recognise this version it's so different
Hey, it's a different version than the single version!
No shit.
No it's not.
It's the album version. Oh wait, the Album version is the one here represented. The superior version at 279 BPM!
An under-appreciated Buzzcocks classic.
WOW!! If I'm not mistaken, this is the studio version from the rare Dog In Hell 7 inch Vinyl E.P. on Charley Records (CEP 122). Also featured studio versions of Floating Anarchy Radio and Addicted. I haven't been able to play mine for many years as I don't have a record player. Thanks :)
Mine sounds awful now because the card sleeve scratched it to buggery. I can still play it but it sounds better from UA-cam.
Such a great record. Haven't heard it in years. Thank you.
what about now
Mine too! And my youngest looks like the cat in the picture!!! Great song btw
Lene Lovich + Poly Styrene! xD LOL
Excellente
This band was FUN!!! I'm heading for my sisters record collection as I listen to this! makes me think slitsy, raincoated and somehow carefree
@tony060572 yes, more on the way
More! Do you have Bedtime Stories? Or Sparrow? Or Kray Twins?
God, that would be heaven. You live around here often?
