There are two bands with the name Subhumans: 1)Subhumans (UK): The Subhumans are an anarcho-punk band formed in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK in 1979 by Dick Lucas, who had formerly been in local bands including The Mental and Stupid Humans. The band released a demo in 1981 which was heard by members of the band Flux of Pink Indians after being sent to them by Graham Burnett of New Crimes fanzine, who were so impressed that they offered the Subhumans a chance to put out a record on their newly formed Spiderleg label. Shortly afterwards the Subhumans began to release material on their own Bluurg Records label. After the Subhumans split up Lucas formed the bands Culture Shock and Citizen Fish. The Subhumans occasionally reform for live performances, including at least two major tours of North America in the 21st Century, (Live in a Dive is a product of the first) and they continue to command a strong following.

Us Fish Must Swim Together Lyrics

Subhumans

Ok, let's start at the beginning
When fishes roamed the sea.
They swam around before anything else
In ten million years B.C.
Then one day they decided
To evolve into vertebrates.
And a few came out of the water
And got drunk to celebrate.
Soon, well when I say "soon" I mean
A couple million years
They evolved into various quadrupeds
With legs and things and ears.
And about a trillion aeons later
They went all civilized.
And built lots of bombs and council flats
That reached into the skies.
The moral of this tale, you see
We are descended from the fish.
And if we progress much further
We'll put our lives at risk.
We're starting to destroy ourselves
With pollution, war, and greed.
When food and sex and water
Is all we really need.
When "sink or swim" is the choice you get
You cannot swim forever.
You need support to keep you alive.
Us fish must swim together!
