This is the BEST song by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. It is just amazing - the story in the lyrics, the music. You can just imagine all that is going on in the lyrics. Brilliant. Dury was a genius; much missed
@roddy76to86 Search 'battle of the beanfield' on here, also see my video 'the rolling people'. For those of us that lived it, this song is spot on, for those of you that didn't, where WERE you??
GEEZA RIP

The best lyricist of our generation. Never forgotten Ian. R.I.P. Mr. Dury.

What a pity he never performed this live when I saw him, twice the second about 18 months before his untimely death.
