...BLOCKHEADS... by Ian Dury & The Blockheads
----------------.............................
*from 'New Boots and Panties!' (1977)*
Intro:
,
Verse 1:
You must have seen parties of Blockheads;
With blotched and lagered skin.
Blockheads with food particles in their teeth,
What a horrible state they're in.
Verse 2:
They've got womanly breasts, under pale mauve vests,
Shoes like dead pigs' noses.
Cornflake packet jacket, catalogue trousers,
A mouth what never closes.
Verse 3:
You must have seen Blockheads in raucous teams,
Dressed up after work.
Who screw their poor old Eileens, get sloshed and go berserk.
Verse 4:
Rotary accessory watches, hire-purchase, signet rings.
A beauty to the bully boys, hire-purchase, signet rings.
Verse 5:
Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why shouldn't they do as they please?
You know if it came to a brainy game,
You could baffle a Blockhead with ease.
Break:
How would you like one puffing and blowing in your ear-hole?
Or pissing in your swimming pool?
Interlude:
,
Verse 6:
Bigger brained Blockheads often acquire; black and orange cars.
Premature ejaculation drivers, their soft-top's got roll-bars.
Verse 7:
"Fill her up", they say to Blockheads,
"Go on, stick it where it hurts".
Their shapeless haircuts don't enhance;
Their ghastly patterned shirts.
Verse 8:
Why bother at all about Blockheads, su-perior as you are?
You're thoughtful and kind, with a well-stocked mind,
A Blockhead can't think very far.
Break:
Imagine finding one in your laundry basket,
Banging nails in your big black dog.

Verse 9:
Why bother at all about Blockheads?
Why should you care what they do?
'Cos after all, is said and done; you're a Blockhead too.

Outro:
Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads,
Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads.
