Track-by-track commentary

“One Drop”:

  • John Lydon (2012): “One Drop is about my early youth in Finsbury Park. Fantastic! Hello, we re all teenagers don't you forget it! At any age, stay young.”

“Deeper Water”:

  • John Lydon (2012): “It was an improv, done in one take. We made it up as we went. But there is a great deal of thought that goes in before you do that. It's about bad influences, bad information, bad leadership. There's `bristled bastards that will lead you to the shore, dash you on the rocks`. Don't follow the liars. It’s a very difficult thing for me to trust people.”

“I Must Be Dreaming”:

  • John Lydon (2012): “I Must Be Dreaming, well, you know, I must be to put up with these governments.”

“The Room I Am In”:

  • John Lydon (2012): “The Room I Am In, well that's about drugs and council flats. And there's a tragedy that still continues.”

“Lollipop Opera”:

  • John Lydon (2012): “Lollipop Opera is basically a beautiful bunch of background noise and music to sum up Britain and all its wonderful ambidextrousness!”
