Released in 1976, months before Punk exploded, this single felt new and exciting to the youths of Britain.
Eddie and the Hot Rods had more in common with Dr Feelgood than Punk.
Well I'm spending all my money and its going up my nose
My Daddy's found me out and he's tearing up my clothes
My probation man says you know you ought to quit
I said now don't you hang me up now with none of that shit
I got the teenage depression, that's what I'm talking 'bout
If you don't know what I mean then you better look out, look out!
Same thing every day, well I can't get out of bed
Too many questions are confusing up my head
I can't stand the thought of another day at school
But I know the weekend's coming so I gotta keep my cool
I got the teenage depression, that's what I'm talking 'bout
If you don't know what I mean then you better look out, look out!
It really makes me mad when they always ask me why
That I never comb my hair and I never wear a tie
School teacher bugging me it's the same old thing
Get out of my way I need another shot of gin
I got the teenage depression, that's what I'm talking 'bout
If you don't know what I mean then you better look out, look out!
Got the teenage depression, it's becoming an obsession. x4
I got the teenage depression, that's what I'm talking 'bout
If you don't know what I mean then you better look out, look out! x2
