Veruca Salt - Bodies Lyrics






She was a girl from Birmingham
She just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was Pauline
She lived in a tree
She wasn't out when he killed her baby
She sent the letters from the country
She was an animal
She was a bloody disgrace
Bodies, I'm not an animal [x2]
Dragged on a table in a factory
Illegitimate place to be
In a package in a lavatory
Die little baby, screaming
Bodies, I'm not an animal
I'm not an animal
It's an abortion
Bodies, I'm not an animal
Mummy I'm not an animal
I'm not an animal [x3]
(fucking bloody mess)
Fuck this and fuck that
Fuck it all and fuck her fucking brat
She don't wanna baby that looks like that
I don't wanna baby that looks like that
Bodies, I'm not an animal [x3]
Mummy I'm not an animal
I'm not an animal [x3]
(Mummy) I'm not an animal [x3]

  1. W.... ....

    This cover doesn't really suit a slow tempo. It loses all it's anger & venom that made it such a great song in the first place. Not that it's bad but it's doesn't portray the original energy of the what the song was about.

  2. M.... N....

    This interpretation is genius......a song about abortion disguised as a pop rock lullaby!

  3. T.... ....

    This song cover makes me wanna bash my head on a door till i die i hate this band

  4. M.... W....

    I rather like this.

  5. N.... ....

    Raise the speed to *2* & then it's not too bad.

  6. W.... S....

    I had to get used to this version, at first I thought it was weird, but it actually is a good cover. One may not like the new style, but that is taste. And taste does not define wether a cover is bad. Sex Pistols is not for everyone, this version opens the song up to a wider audience, which a true Sex Pistols fan should be able to appreciate. It is good and daring that they tried to do something with this song. Personally I like it. You know, the worst covers are usually the exact copies of a song where they try to impersonate the original. An effort was made here, and I appriciate that.

  7. m.... ....

    I'm a Veruca Salt fan & also a Pistols fan & this just doesn't work for me!

  8. A.... a....

    Sped up sounds better

  9. G.... ....

    wow my fav girl band did a cover of my fav punk band xD although it's good it doesn't beat the original

  10. B.... ....

    No...it just doesn't work!.You can't tame down something that doesn't justify taming!

  11. S.... L....

    sex pistols are shit and so is this song

    S.... L....

    No, if anything, they made it sound good

  12. j.... m....

    yeah !... when the fucking crashing chords come in

  13. E.... M....

    Bland. Now I need some Cannibal Corpse

    E.... M....

    Ew, cannibal corpse is trash. Real metal died in the 90s. This is not even close to bland. It would be bland, if it were exactly like the original.

    E.... M....

    Seriously though. How do you stand that death metal trash?

    E.... M....

    Iron Head-Ed doom metal, thrash metal, and 80s hair metal > death metal that's all exactly the same

    E.... M....

    Cats Pajamas cool. not too familiar with doom but i love thrash and glam metal (my preferred term) people hate on it just because the image

  14. S.... V....

    i like it!

  15. B.... F....

    Works for me. Love Sex Pistols and love Veruca Salt. Nice take from VS, they are fans and respectful to great music. From the first album to the current one they acknowledge rock n fuckin roll

  16. S.... ....

    LOL this cover is an abortion

    S.... ....

    Nah, you are.

    S.... ....

    @Eddie The Head Said the pot, calling the kettle black

    S.... ....

    Stigma I don't like snobby punk elitist kettles that probably won't accept a cover unless it's exactly like the original.

  17. o.... ....

    it's like my cooling fan  SMEARED IN MOLASSES!!! fucking auful!!!!!!!!!

    o.... ....

    If you don't like it then get the heck out.

  18. K.... G....

    um, no.

    K.... G....

    Um, yes.

    K.... G....

    Um, No. Not a good cover.

  19. E.... T....

    Great cover! The haters are too busy being butthurt and complaining to realize it.

  20. s.... ....

    I like it better than the original.

  21. m.... o....

    Shark Sandwich!

  22. d.... ....

    I completely forgot how much Veruca Salt sucked. Thanks for the reminder.

    d.... ....

    Fuck you, wish you dead

    d.... ....

    henry rollins loves veruca salt...so daniel, i think it is you that knows shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geXoFTFyNWA&list=RDwqEXYLQ8yBI&index=3 courtney love wishes she could make a song like this. any punk rocker, metal head..hard rock fan that cant enjoy this song...well, i feel sorry for you.

    d.... ....

    i agree this is shit

    d.... ....

    I like it!

    d.... ....

    @Voyeur Coma you dont need permission to cover someone's song you just have to pay royalties.

  23. m.... ....

    Pointless.

    m.... ....

    Exactly.

    m.... ....

    @miisu what on earth is pointless about a slowed down, bitchin' cover of a classic?

    m.... ....

    +miisu how so?

  24. D.... S....

    Saying "fucking brat" like a child school teacher..

  25. d.... ....

    Bodies, i love it!!!! God, put Nina back in VS!

    d.... ....

    Dude... Nina is back. She's been back since 2013, XD have you been living under a rock?

    d.... ....

    +Elijah Taylor sorry, but i'm one of the only few from Paris to know (and enjoy) that band ;-)

    d.... ....

    @destroythebody oh, I see. In that case, they also released a new album in July, and it rules.

  26. J.... J....

    "She wasn't out when he killed her baby"? What? Musicians who think they're free to rewrite someone else's lyrics are particularly loathsome when their version doesn't even fucking make sense.

    J.... J....

    I don't think it was changed purposefully. I think Nina & Louise may have misunderstood the line due to the thick accent.

    J.... J....

    exactly @Numberoneblind, i'm pretty sure, that's it!!!

  27. T.... ....

    THIS is an abortion.

  28. T.... ....

    insulting. i mean, the pistols weren't genius, but if THIS is genius, then I'M a fucking abortion. no wonder when they toured in 06 and tried to get a following again playing jaxx nightclub ( now empire ) outside DC only 12 people stayed for their headlining set. the openers, fucking sold the place out, no joke.. and the 12 that stayed? ages 42+

  29. h.... ....

    wtf! terrible.. disgrace to the original!

  30. s.... ....

    Awful. Simply awful.

  31. I.... C....

    I liked it, not to be taken in the same context as original

  32. C.... T....

    weird. its not totally slow (like the lemonheads cover of "skulls" by the misfits), but its such a different vibe. probably wont listen to it again (the original's anger/horror is too missed), but it was interesting.

  33. k.... ....

    Sid Vicious just turned in his fucking grave

    k.... ....

    He's overrated anyway.

  34. w.... ....

    Some songs shouldnt be taken out of their original genre... this is one of them... IMO

  35. S.... W....

    ps - you forgot a verse in the lyrics

    "Fuck this and fuck that
    Fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat
    She don't wanna baby that looks like that
    I don't wanna baby that looks like that"

  36. S.... W....

    Everyone disliking this cover knows nothing about music or conveying emotion through artistic medium, take a fucking night class, shit.

  37. J.... ....

    shit.!

  38. K.... e....

    To bad to destroy such a god Song

  39. b.... ....

    I don't know what being from the US has to do with it. This is art, you brutus, art.

  40. F.... A....

    So your from US, right? thats why you need everything very explicit, very square, and clear, you know shooting and chasing coherent movies, and stuff. This is art, you brutus, art.

  41. J.... D....

    Its like to sing a Tango in english, dont like this stuff

  42. G.... ....

    Veruca Salt are really good but this song was just.... igh...

  43. S.... d....

    better the original version of the Sex Pistols

  44. s.... ....

    wow, got to be one of the worst covers i've heard...and i've heard plenty of the bad ones

  45. J.... ....

    i don't hate this, or them, but damn i dislike it profoundly.

  46. b.... ....

    this is genius in that it takes the original and completely flips it on its head.

    Sex Pistols songs are known to be loud, fast and incoherent. with this, you get connection to Pauline, you get the woman side that you def do not get in the original.

  47. K.... F....

    toooooo slooooooww

  48. M.... P....

    absolute genius & artistic license...if i didnt know the s.p version well it might as well have been a country version i wouldnt have recognized
