The Slits - Instant Hit

He is a boy
He's very thin
Until tomorrow
Took heroin
Don't like himself very much
'Cause he has set to set to self-destruct
He is
Set to self-destruct
He is
Too good to be true

Enjoy it
Destroy it

He is
Too good to be true
He is
Set to self-destruct (set to self-destruct)

Enjoy it
Destroy it

I could
Hate you anytime
I could
Give you anything

Enjoy it
Destroy it

I forgive you anything
But I could
Hate you anytime

Enjoy it
Destroy it

He is
Set to self-destruct

The perfect encapsulation of how punk's DIY imperative and dub sonics could interact. Instant Hit kicked of the first Slits album. "He is set to self-destruct," runs Viv Albertine's lyric - a pointed reference to at least one of her bandmates in punk progenitors The Flowers Of Romance, Keith Levene and Sid Vicious.
