Biografía:
En el conocido sello Stiff Ian Dury y los Blockheads grabaron una serie de discos muy aprovechables dentro de la escena new wave. El inglés Dury nació el 12 de mayo de 1942 en la localidad de Upminster, Essex.
En su niñez sufrió la polio, hecho que condicionaría su físico. Después de terminar en el instituto, estudió arte y mientras daba clases de pintura decidió que dejaba el pincel, por lo menos profesionalmente, para intentar buscarse un hueco en la música.

...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, No lonely vestige clings.
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)
