That's right, the SEX PISTOLS might regroup. I dislike reunions as much as anyone else, but as long as "Sir" Paul McCartney is around to kiss the Queens behind, what's wrong with Rotten and company coming back to yell: "SHE AIN'T NO HUMAN BEING!"

Sex Pistols Could Spoil Queen's Party -- Again
LONDON (Reuters) - Twenty-five years after making their mark as the official scourge of royalty, the legendary British punk band the Sex Pistols may regroup to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee, a tour promoter said Tuesday. The gigs would take place on June 3, when Queen Elizabeth will celebrate 50 years on the throne.
"I can confirm I've been approached by a number of separate parties offering substantial sums of money for the Sex Pistols to regroup," said promoter John Giddings, who organized the group's last UK tour in 1996. He said the decision depends on whether band members can free up their schedules to perform on the Jubilee date.
The famously controversial band released their anti-royal album "God Save the Queen" in June 1977 at the same time as Her Majesty celebrated her Silver Jubilee. The album, whose front cover bore an illustration of the Queen with a safety pin through her nose, rocketed to No. 1 although banned from the airwaves (you can see that cover at: www.art-for-a-change.com/Punk/punka.htm
Despised by authorities for their anarchist theme, the band was arrested as they performed on a Thames riverboat on the day of the Queen's 25th anniversary celebration. Should they decide to regroup this summer with a Sid Vicious replacement, the granddaddies of punk would be playing to crowds who weren't alive when they first thrashed around on a London stage in 1976. "The good thing about the Pistols now is that they can really play," Giddings said.
[and now, the lyrics]
God Save the Queen
The Fascist Regime
They made you a moron
... potential H-Bomb
God Save the Queen
She ain't no Human Being
There is no future...
... in England's dreaming
Don't be told what you want!
Don't be told what you need!
There's no future, no future...
... no future for you!
God Save the Queen
... WE MEAN IT MAN
We "love our queen"
God Saves
God Save the Queen
'cos tourists are money
and our figure head
... is not what she seems
Oh God Save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord, God have mercy
all crimes are paid
When there's no future
how can there be sin
we're the flowers in the dustbin
we're the poison in your Human machine
we're the future, you're future
God Save the Queen
WE MEAN IT MAN
we "love our queen"
God Saves
God Save the Queen
WE MEAN IT MAN
THERE IS NO FUTURE
IN ENGLAND'S DREAMING
NO FUTURE, NO FUTURE
NO FUTURE FOR YOU
NO FUTURE, NO FUTURE
NO FUTURE FOR ME
