I took a sudden notion
To go down to the ocean
I'd got my sun-tan lotion
My flippers and my mask
In proper distribution
Of fully-formed ablutions
Formed an ocean of pollution
In which I daredn't bask
Some turds were teeny-tiny
And some were big and shiny
But they all fucked up the briney
In which I dipped my toe
If you go swimming in the shite-us
You'll get worse than dermititis
From the sea of grey detritus
Where the sewage ebbs and flows
There's no respite
From the cess-pit
No shelter from the pong
The poor old ocean
Is full of motions
Where the hell did we go wrong?
Like a lamb off to the slaughter
Pored myself a glass of water
I failed to spot I'd caught a
Little creature in my cup
I was well and truly bolleaux-ed
From the fires of hell that followed
T’was the cup of life I'd swallowed
And it almost did me up
Something coming
Through the plumbing
That should not be there at all
The glass is brimming
And things are swimming
And quite frankly, I'm appalled
I was a very hungry fella
I defrosted my paella
Came down with Salmonella
Three weeks intensive care
They failed to send technicians in
To check the air-conditioning
Which was unfortunately transmissioning
A case of Legionnaires
There's a malaise
In the mayonnaise
There's a poo-poo in the prawn
Where we missed them
In the system
Little germs are being born
There's no respite
From the cess-pit
There's no shelter from the pong
Where the hell did we go wrong?
Ian Dury e i Blockheads sono un gruppo musicale britannico attivo tra gli anni '70 e '80. Fondato da Ian Dury, cantante, musicista e poeta, il gruppo è noto per la sua musica ska-punk con influenze di rockabilly e cabaret. Dury, nato a Harrow nel 1942, ha subito un'infanzia segnata da una poliomielite che gli ha causato una paralisi permanente alla gamba destra. Questo evento ha profondamente influenzato il suo percorso artistico, alimentando la sua ironia e la sua capacità di raccontare storie dal punto di vista di chi è diverso. I Blockheads, con Chaz Jankel al pianoforte e Mickey Gallagher all'organo, hanno accompagnato Dury in un viaggio musicale che ha attraversato temi sociali, politici e personali con una vena di umorismo nero e una grande energia live. Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo *New Boots and Panties*** (1977), *Do It Yourself* (1979) e *Laughter* (1980). I brani più celebri del gruppo includono *Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick*, *Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3* e *Wake Up and Make Love with Me*. Ian Dury è morto nel 2000 a causa di un tumore al pancreas. La sua eredità musicale continua ad ispirare artisti e fan in tutto il mondo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
