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.

The Boys Lyrics

(SteelDangerfieldPlain)
Lead vocal: Honest John Plain
If I should lose or win, sink or swim
Carry on or just give in she's the reason
If I should stand so tall, feel so small
If pride doesn't come before a fall she's the reason
She's the reason I can sleep at night, she's the reason why it rains
She's the reason that I feel alright, she's the reason I'm insane
If I should laugh or cry, live or die
If I'm always searching for the reason why she's the reason
All the good, all the bad things that happen in my world
If you want to know the reason why they do the reason is that girl
Okay, alright, she's the reason I sleep at night
Alright, okay, she's the reason I feel this way
If I lose or win, sink or swim
Stand so tall, feel so small
Laugh or cry, live or die
If I'm always searching for the reason why she's the reason
