I never thought of leading I've got my own machine And I've paid my dues all along All set for breaking When I missed those other people 'Cause I knew that I was really alone Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs I saw my education It was my indoctrination Just to be another parking machine All my sense was breaking When I missed those other people 'Cause I knew that I was not very clean Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs Fall out

Alternative and cover versions
There are LOTS of different versions of this single.
The original from May 1977 had a dark red label and crude ILLEGAL writing on the label - some had a press-out centre hole, some didn't.
The later edition's label (from around October 1977) was less red - and had a nicer ILLEGAL logo on it. There are different versions with or without a "Made In England" notice.
There are also variations of the black and white cover concerning the kind of paper that was used and the kind of sleeve opening.
This 1977 cover in black and white was also used in combination with a third label variation - the 1979 reprint ILLEGAL label, but with a small logo...
In 1979 the single was re-released with a new cover. The most common one is the green and black version - blue and pink is less common. The rarest of them all is the orange and black version (which might be 1983 re-issue just for the fan club).
And again there were variations about the labels. The first 1979 ILLEGAL label had a small logo. The other labels with a larger ILLEGAL logo sometimes had a two-stripe design, sometimes they had a three-stripe design.
