...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. Solo: , , , 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. Break: (Instrumental): , , Outro: Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads.
