"Open and Revolving" is a track from Happy?, the sixth studio album from Public Image Ltd, released in September 1987. Gary Langan produced it together with the band, and the writing credit is split five ways, between John Lydon, John McGeoch, Allan Dias, Lu Edmonds and Bruce Smith.

The album it lives on came wrapped in a cover by Richard Evans that tips its hat to the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who gets a nod in the liner notes for it.
