Theme Lyrics by Public Image Ltd.

Public Image: First Issue

1978

Theme
Now I understand
Now I understand
Theme going on and on and on
It's not the same anymore
No, never, never, no
Wish, wish
And I wish I could die

Now walk alone
Now walk in drain
Does not compute
Not a cliché
And I wish I could die
Random
There is only one reaction
You must never underestimate
And I wish I
And I wish I could die
Now I understand

Now I understand
It doesn't matter no more
Another leap in the dark
I will survive
And I wish I could die
And I wish I could die
And I wish I, I wish I
I wish I could die

It's only excuses
Never mistaking
Rhyme or reason
No, never, no, never
And I wish I could die
And I wish I
I wish I could die
I wish I could die
Understand
Theme's going on
On and on and on
I wish I could die

No, never, no, more

Does not compute
Walk alone out of the drain
It's not cliché
Wish I, wish, wish I could die
And I wish I could die
And I wish I could die

On and on and on and on

Will survive
I wish I could die
I will survive
I wish I could die
Understanding doesn't matter no more
Leap in the dark
I will survive
Wish I could die
Wish I could die
I wish I could die
I wish I could die
I wish I could die

I just died
Terminal boredom
