Strummer was a god, true say. However, The Ramones were THE act to infuence the soon to emerge Brit punks. (Pistols/ Clash).
N America had a vibrant yet street-sad tradition including the MC5, Velevet Underground as well as the incredible flah of genius from The New York Dolls.

(pills)
As I was lyin in a hospital bed
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
She says, hold ya arm, stick out ya tounge

She went into my head, into my head
A rock n roll nurse, went into my head
Into my head, Into my head
While I was lyin in a hodpital bed
A little pill for my legs, but that didn't ache
I tried some pills for my heart, but a little to late
Gots some pills for my love, to put me at ease
Ats when a rock n roll nurse shook me down to my knees
She went into my head, shoved into my
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

Said ya give me th pills, then ya give me the shot
Got me wonderin what is worse I got
She went into my head, shoved into my
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed

She's a makin it worse

To my head...)
Doctor doctor! Run here and see

Gives me the shots, gives me th pills
Got me takin this junk, against my wills
She went into my head, shoved into my
A rock n roll nurse went into my head
Into my head, into my head
As I was lyin in a hospital bed
