My mother's heart and soul
Have gone halfway up the pole
My father's on the dole
This is taking its toll
My friend Bert is much too old
And his dog's beyond control
Though it sometimes seems they're droll
It's a nuisance on the whole
I'm profoundly in love with Pandora
My poem has an intellectual theme
The tenderness with which I adore her
Goes all bouncy in my dreams
Yesterday my chin was clear
Now a new spot has appeared
Barry Kent had cost me dear
Till my Grandma interfered
The BBC know I'm sincere
In making writing my career
Wish my mum would come back here
Lots of ups and downs this year
I'm profoundly in love with Pandora
She's got knee-socks and treacle-coloured hair
The tenderness with which I adore her
Is something fine and rare
But, my father's in a mess
And there's a great deal of stress
At our house
And my major concern
Is that things might return
To normal
So get rid of that creep
And come back to sleep
In our house
We both miss you mum
So hurry up and come
Back home
My mother's heart and soul
Have gone halfway up the pole
Though it sometimes seems they're droll
It's a nuisance on the whole
Yesterday my chin was clear
Now a new spot has appeared
Profoundly in love with Pandora
Wish my mum would come back here
Lots of ups and downs this year
I'm profoundly in love with Pandora
Things aren't always what they seem
The tenderness with which I adore her
Is indeed a love supreme
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.
