Lyrics:

“Silly Thing” was written by both Paul Cook and Steve Jones, and was recorded after lead singer John Lydon had left the band, therefore the vocals in this song belong to guitarist Steve Jones.
What you see, you can't get
Nothing's free, nothing's set
Don't be fooled by the signs
Don't read in between the lines

What you gonna say?
What you gonna do?
Now you've missed out once again
But I thought you knew

Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now

Trouble here, trouble there
People stop just to stare
What's the use of wasting time?
Just move on, leave 'em all behind

What you gonna say?
What you gonna do?
Now you've missed out once again
But I thought you knew

Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now

Oh, you silly thing
Nothing but trouble that you bring
One of these days, you're gonna die
And people will say, 'Oh, my, oh, my'
And people will say, 'Oh, my, my, my, my'

Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh, you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
