"You never listened to a word I said/ You only see me for the clothes I wear/ Or did the interest go so much deeper/ It must've been the color of my hair."
In 1978, slightly damaged but fundamentally undaunted by his misadventures with the Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd. Lydon dropped "Rotten" and formed the aptly named with ex-Clash guitarist Keith Levene. Experimenting with throbbing dance rhythms, Asian and Arabic modalities, dense guitar layering, and angry, obtuse lyrics, Public Image Ltd., or PiL, succeeded in heralding and defining the post-punk era. To those who believed Johnny Rotten would engender cataclysmic changes in the social fabric, Lydon was an art-rock sell-out. But to those who merely sought redemption through art, Lydon delivered passionate, challenging music--that you could dance to.
Early incarnations of PiL were collaborative efforts. Lydon and Levene were joined by the dub reggae-influenced Jah Wobble on bass and Jim Walker on drums. The band attempted to work as a cooperative in which each member would share equally in the responsibilities of band business. (In reality, a later member, Jeannette Lee, seems to have handled much of PiL's business).
The group's first single, 1978's "Public Image" attacked people's perceptions of Johnny Rotten: "You never listened to a word I said/ You only see me for the clothes I wear/ Or did the interest go so much deeper/ It must've been the color of my hair." The song and LP that followed backed Lydon's lyrical assault with an equally vicious sonic attack of loosely structured guitar patterns and pounding minimalist rhythms, Wobble's bass lines acting as backbone.

Hello, hello, hello (ha, ha, ha)
You never listen to a word that I said
You only seen me
For the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been
The colour of my hair
The Public Image
What you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image was ignorance and fear
You hide behind this public machine
Still follow same old scheme
Public Image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
I will not be treated as property
Public Image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
Its not a game of monopoly
Public image
Public image
You got what you wanted
The public image belongs to me
It's my entrance
My own creation
My grand finale
My goodbye
Public image
Goodbye
