Yet for some reason The Boys occupy a neglected position in relation to London's early Punk scene, probably because they weren't clothed by Sex or managed by Malcolm McLaren. Being tagged the "Punk Beatles" couldn't have helped either, and by '81 they called it quits.
Plagued by mishaps, bad timing and plain bad luck they managed to keep smiling and come up with corking, hyper-speed pop classics like "Brickfield Nights" and "Rue Morgue". In short The Boys were a gem of a band and a total inspiration to any Punk band who value tunes over noise.

샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라
샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라
지나간 일을 난 오늘 생각해봤지
내겐 아름다웠던 기억들만 생각나
약속되었던 헤어짐을 알면서
너는 그토록 나를 사랑해 주었건만
그런 네 곁을 난 오늘 훌쩍 떠나네
마지막 작별의 시간도 못 가진 채
잊어버려 날 이젠
꿈결 같던 시간이
영원할 듯했지만
이제 남은 건
항상 따뜻한
너와 나의 깊은 마음만
샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라
샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라
샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라
널 바라보면 이젠 눈물만 흘러내려
할 말이 없어 나는 말뿐이었어
가끔씩 훌쩍 너를 떠났었건만
항상 환한 미소로 나를 맞이 했었지
다시 네 곁을 난 오늘 훌쩍 떠나네
아직도 하지 못한 말들을 남긴 채
용서해줘 날 이젠
꿈결 같던 시간이
영원할 듯했지만
이제 남은 건
항상 따뜻한
너와 나의 깊은 마음만
잊어버려 날 이젠
꿈결 같던 시간이
깊은 마음만
샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라
샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라 (oh-oh)
샬랄라-랄랄라-라라라라 (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-umm, oh-umm, oh-umm, oh-umm
Oh-umm, oh-umm
Oh-umm, oh-umm, oh-umm, oh-umm
