I post this around every year. My mom bought me a book about Sid Vicious at a garage sale years ago and I found the following poem typewritten on a piece of paper and wedged in the book.

A Visit From Saint Vicious

Twas the night before New Years and everyone�s drunk,
Not a rocker was stirring not even a punk

The baggies were hung by the phono with care,
in hopes that Saint Vicious, yes Sid would be there

The Ramones were sold out so we stayed in our sheds,
While visions of slammers danced in our heads

Suzy with hashpipe and I dressed in black,
We had just settled in for a long playing track

From out in the alley there arose such a clatter,
I crawled from the couch to see what was the matter

Away from the window I lurched with a crash,
Tearing a poster I had from The Clash

The strobe light, the acid, the new snorted snow,
Gave a luster of dayglo to the objects below

When to my unfocused eye should appear,
A miniature stage and a band I could hear

With a singer who danced by the pogo he did,
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Sid

More rapid than Springsteen their rhythm it came,
He snarled and shouted and called them by name

"Now Strummer, now Darby, now Joey Ramone
On Bators, on G.G., on Cook, and on Jones
To the top of the amps kick over the wall,
ANARCHY ANARCHY ANARCHY ALL!"

As punks before a show go out to get high,
They all started to pogo and mount to the sky

Up through the window the rockers they flew,
with powerful speakers and Saint Vicious too

And them with a twinkling I heard on the trunk,
The yelling and cursing of each famous punk

As I drew form my pipe and was turning around,
Down the vent shaft came Saint Vicious with a bound

Dressed all in black from his head to his toe,
A chain from his shoulder to regions below

A black leather jacket was flung on his back,
He looked like a heretic freed from the rack

His eyes how the flashed, his sneer so merry,
He staggered right in, his breath smelled of sherry

His greasy black hair was drawn up in a spike,
And the other old punkers were attired alike

A portable mic he held in his hand,
And "Holidays In The Sun" issued forth from the band

To be followed by "Anarchy In The UK",
"God Save The Queen","EMI", and "My Way"

They played so loud, the records fell from my shelf,
And I gasped when I saw them in spite of myself

A wink from his eye and dope for my head,
Sid let me know I should pogo instead

He handed me tickets and whispered "Ramones",
Snorted some coke and yelled "Fuck All Discos!"

He jumped to the stand, Saint Vicious with a shout,
The band jammed on until poor Sid passed out

But I heard him exclaim with the last of his might,
SCORCHING PUNK ROCK TO ALL, AND TO AN AWFUL GOOD NIGHT!


Happy Holidays everyone!

Ha! Thanks for that, Ty.

Ever seen the Joe Strummer video for Love Kills (from the Sid & Nancy soundtrack) ? I'll never think of Sid any other way.
