Oh Bondage, Up Yours -- X-Ray Spex

Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard
But i think  Oh Bondage Up Yours!  One, Two, Three, FOUR!
Bind me tie me  Chain me to the wall I wanna be a slave  For you all

Oh bondage up yours  Oh bondage no more  

Chain-store chain-smoke  I consume you all  Chain-gang chain-mail
I don't think at all

Oh bondage up yours  Oh bondage no more
Thrash me crash me  Beat me till I fall  I wanna be a victim  For you all

Oh bondage up yours  Oh bondage no more                           (sing365)

Lead singer Poly Styrene told Mojo magazine September 2008 about this song: "Most people think it was a kinky S&M song. But it was about breaking free from the bondage of the material world. I come from a religious background and in the scriptures the whole idea of being liberated is to break free from bondage. I had an idea of the bondage of slavery and all those images in history like the suffragettes or slaves being chained up. When I saw Vivienne Westwood's shop (Sex) and all her bondage trousers it symbolized all the other bondage elements I'd grown up with."                                                   (songfacts)
