Biography:
Ian Dury and the Blockheads were one of the most popular groups of the New Wave era in the U.K. in the 70s and early 80s. Their eclectic sound was drawn from their many musical influences; these included funk, jazz, rock and roll, soul, and reggae, not to mention leader Ian Dury's love of music hall. Dury's lyrics were a unique combination of lyrical poetry, word play, acute observation of British everyday life, and scatalogical humour. As the Blockheads, the band continued to play after Dury's untimely death in 2000.

----------------.............................
*from 'Laughter' (1980)*
Intro:
F
Verse 1:
F
The war cry of the raging drunken sot,
That sends un-welcome pains right up your bot.
It bellows forth from corporate windows, all night long,
Bb Bbm C7
Mucks up common thought of right and wrong.
Chorus 1:
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
Verse 2:
F
The war cry of the drinker of the drink,
Can send your senses reeling to the brink.
Watch your poison breath and outlook; puke and vile,
Bb Bbm C7
Loose all sense of reason, humour, style.
Chorus 2:
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
Interlude:
F
F
Uncool.
Verse 3:
F
The war cry of the boozer of the booze,
In normal state of little left to lose.
pissed and witless, blood and bandage; not a care,
Bb Bbm C7
Splashing noxious liquids every-where.
Chorus 3:
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F Bb Bbm C
Un-coolo-hol, un-coolo-hol.
F
Un-cool.
