...BLOCKHEADS... by Ian Dury & The Blockheads
----------------.............................
*from 'New Boots and Panties!' (1977)*
Intro:
E, D A
Verse 1:
E
You must have seen parties of Blockheads;
D
With blotched and lagered skin.
A
Blockheads with food particles in their teeth,
E D A
What a horrible state they're in.
Verse 2:
E
They've got womanly breasts, under pale mauve vests,
D
Shoes like dead pigs' noses.
A
Cornflake packet jacket, catalogue trousers,
E
A mouth what never closes.
Verse 3:
E
You must have seen Blockheads in raucous teams,
D
Dressed up after work.
A E D A
Who screw their poor old Eileens, get sloshed and go berserk.
Verse 4:
E D
Rotary accessory watches, hire-purchase, signet rings.
A E D A
A beauty to the bully boys, hire-purchase, signet rings.
Verse 5:
E
Why bother at all about Blockheads?
D
Why shouldn't they do as they please?
A
You know if it came to a brainy game,
E D A
You could baffle a Blockhead with ease.
Break:
D
How would you like one puffing and blowing in your ear-hole?
E D A
Or pissing in your swimming pool?
Interlude:
E, D A
Verse 6:
E D
Bigger brained Blockheads often acquire; black and orange cars.
A E D A
Premature ejaculation drivers, their soft-top's got roll-bars.
Verse 7:
E
"Fill her up", they say to Blockheads,
D
"Go on, stick it where it hurts".
A
Their shapeless haircuts don't enhance;
E D A
Their ghastly patterned shirts.
Verse 8:
E D
Why bother at all about Blockheads, su-perior as you are?
A
You're thoughtful and kind, with a well-stocked mind,
E D A
A Blockhead can't think very far.
Break:
D
Imagine finding one in your laundry basket,
E D A
Banging nails in your big black dog.
Solo:
E, D, A, D A
Verse 9:
E
Why bother at all about Blockheads?
D
Why should you care what they do?
A E D A
'Cos after all, is said and done; you're a Blockhead too.
Break:
(Instrumental):
D, E, D A
Outro:
E D
Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads,
A E D A
Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads, Blockheads.
(Repeat to Fade)
