Kate Nash Keeps It Real British Musician’s Down-To-Earth Approach…
CBS News – Oct 3, 2007
Nash also penned lyrics intertwining poetry and ordinary conversation. By keeping it simple and not skirting around the truth about life and love the 20-year-old discovered an interesting formula — one that other women from her generation could relate to. “It was about getting into spoken word and punk music. It happened really naturally” Nash told The ShowBuzz about writing her racy bitter comical and sometimes-vulgar lyrics. “When you think about it it’s really tough to do so I just really stopped thinking.

When the punk anthem was first released in 1977 it made it to Number Two in the singles charts however there was a strong suspicion that the authorities had banned the track from topping the charts as it was the Queen?s Silver Jubilee and the song?s anti-authoritarian power was deemed unacceptable to the Establishment. Those responsible for collating the chart suspiciously refused to deny the track had been banned from Number One but Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has told NME. COM he firmly believes the band were victims of a conspiracy. “Let?s be honest it was Number One anyway” he declared. “They were taking us as a serious threat to an establishment and an industry… “They were taking us as a serious threat to an establishment and an industry.
