The band is comprised of vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock. Matlock left the band in 1977 and was replaced by Sid Vicious, who remained until the band's initial 1978 breakup. Matlock rejoined the band for their 1996 reunion and has remained with them throughout most subsequent reunions, including the most recent, in 2008.
Sex Pistols were managed by the infamous Malcolm McLaren, after he saw Johnny Rotten sporting a Pink Floyd shirt with "I hate" scribbled on. Impressed by Johnny Rotten's attitude, McLaren brought Rotten to audition for frontman of The Strand, the band that would later become the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols have been described by the BBC as "the definitive English punk rock band" and are widely credited with initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and creating the first generation gap within rock and roll.
Sex Pistols emerged as a response to what was perceived to be the increasingly safe and bloated progressive rock and manufactured pop music of the mid-1970s. The band created various controversies during their brief career, which captivated England but often eclipsed their music. Their shows and tours repeatedly faced difficulties from authorities, and public appearances often ended in disaster and riot. Their 1977 single, God Save the Queen, released during the build up to the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, was widely regarded as an attack on the British monarchy and British Nationalism.
The group broke up in 1978 amid a turbulent tour of the United States, but reunited in 1996 for the "Filthy Lucre" tour, and have staged subsequent reunion tours in 2002 and 2003. On 24 February 2006, The Sex Pistols were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but refused to attend the induction, calling the museum a "piss stain".
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, The Sex Pistols reunited for 7 live shows. They played 5 nights at the Brixton Academy in London between 8 November and 14 November, 1 night at the MEN Arena in Manchester, and 1 night at the SECC in Glasgow. The band last performed live in 2008 are are currently on hiatus as John Lydon tours with Public Image Ltd., which reunited in 2009.
Submission
Sex Pistols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the way you were going
I pictured you up on my TV screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing
Submission going down down
Dragging me down
Submission I can't tell ya what I've found
I can't figure out your watery love
I gotta solve your mystery
You're setting it out in heaven above
Submission going down down
Dragging me down
Submission I can't tell ya what I've found
For there's a mystery
Under the sea
And an octopus rock
Under the water
Submission going down down
You're dragging me down
Submission I can't tell ya what I've found
An underwater secret
Baby, oh, share it
I'm on a submarine mission for you baby
I feel the way you were going
I pictured you up on my TV screen
I feel your undercurrent flowing
Submission I'm going down down
Dragging me down
Submission I can't tell ya what I've found
What I've found
Submission
Submission
Submission
I'm falling down
You're dragging me down
Under the sea
The song "Submission" is a love song that seems to be inspired by the deep, dark mysteriousness of the ocean. The singer in the song is on a submarine mission, exploring the depths of the sea in search of something. He is trying to solve the mystery of his lover's watery love and is willing to submit to whatever he may find. The singer describes feeling his lover's undercurrent flowing, as if she is drawing him deeper and deeper under the water.
Throughout the song, the repeated phrase "submission going down down, dragging me down" suggests that the singer is losing control and being pulled into a deeper level of love and desire. The song also talks about an "underwater secret" that the lover possesses and urges her to share it. The lyrics use sea creatures such as octopus and rock to add to the oceanic imagery and to suggest the depth and complexity of the feelings the singer is experiencing.
The song can be interpreted in many ways, but ultimately, it seems to be about the willingness to surrender oneself to love, even if it means losing control and being pulled into unknown depths. The lyrics and musical style of the song are typical of the punk rock genre, with its energy, rebellion, and anti-establishment attitude.

Malcolm asked Johnny to write a song called 'submisson', naturally being about bondage. This is what Johnny gave him and Malcolm never asked again.
