Survive
The A-side of the 1978 Dangerhouse single, written in Janet Koontz's garage.
The Bags, from Survive / Babylonian Gorgon (1978)
Punk 77 says Pat Morrison wrote the music and she and Alice Bag both wrote the lyrics. Alice Bag remembers writing it in Janet Koontz's garage, by humming the parts to another person, Koontz being on a different musical wavelength. It came out in 1978 on Dangerhouse as the A-side to "Babylonian Gorgon" and appears on We're Desperate (Rhino, 1993) and All Bagged Up (2007, where it appears twice). A Razorcake review, seen only as a search summary, calls the vocals commanding, snarling and desperate and says the track has not dated.
We found no chart history, video, covers or samples and no setlist.fm data, and the page of our upload could not be read, so we do not know which version it is.
