Typical girls don't rebel

REVOKOという概念と、アタシたちが心から憧れて
目指した象徴的存在 がAri Up であり、The Slits です。

たかだかPunk に当時陶酔してた位で、
「アタシって人と違う！」 という甘酸っぱくて青臭い
優越感が社会に出た途端、 「異端児」扱い。
上等じゃね～か！と開き直れたのは、そうです。
REVOKOのテーマソングといっても過言ではない
「Typical girls」があったから。

願わくば
いつまでもアタシたちハナタレの為に前を歩いていて
欲しかった。

しかし！
REVOKO のPunky reggae party はずっと続く。
Ari Up の声がアタシたちの心に響き続ける限り、ずっと。

ずっと。

ma albums of The Slits never need to dust them out ,
cos they are always,always by ma side.
you, Ari Up lives forever in our deep down,
and will never be forgotten.

Typical Girls by The Slits

Don't create
Don't rebel
Have intuition
Can't decide
Typical girls get upset to quickly
Typical girls can't control themselves
Typical girls are so confusing
Typical girls - you can always tell
Typical girls don't think too clearly
Typical girls are all predictable
Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well
Typical girls are looking for something
Typical girls fall under spells
Typical girls buy magazines
Typical girls feel like hell
Typical girls worry about spots, fat, and natural smells
Sniky fake smells
Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well
Don't create
Don't rebel
Have intution
Don't drive well
Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well
Can't decide what clothes to wear
Typical girls are sensitive
Typical girls are emotional
Typical girls are cruel and bewitching
She's a femme fatale
Typical girls stand by their man
Typical girls are really swell
Typical girls learn how to act shocked
Typical girls don't rebel
Who invented the typical girl?
Who's bringing out the new improved model?
And there's another marketing ploy
Typical girl gets the typical boy
The typical boy gets the typical girl
The typical girl gets the typical boy
Are emotional

and...

Ari Up once said,

The Slits was totally rebellious and crazy.
We are the absoute threat to society.
We are such a threat.
For our people, we changed the world.

Ari!!

with lots of LOVE from REVOKO all over the world.
