blue gene baby
skinny white sailor, the chances were slender
the beauties were breif
shall I mourn you decline with some thunderbird wine
and a black hankercheif?
I miss your sad Virginia whisper
I miss the voice that called my heart
sweet gene vincent
young and old and gone
sweet gene vincent
who, who, who slapped john?
white face, black shirt
white socks, black shoes
black hair, white strat
bled white, died black
sweet gene vincent
let the blue roll tonight
at the sock hop ball in the union hall
where the bop is there delight
here come duck-tailed Danny dragging Uncanny Annie
she's tehone with the flying feet
you can break the peace daddy sickle grease
the beat is reet complete
and you jump back honey in the dungerees
tight sweater and a ponny tail
will you guess her age when she comes back stage?
the hoodlems bite thier nails
black gloves, white frost
black crepe, white lead
white sheet, black knight
jet black, dead white
sweet gene vincent
there's one in every town
and the devil drives 'till the hurse arrives
and you lay that pistol down
sweet gene vincent
there's nowhere left to hide
with lazy skin and ash-tray eyes
a perforated pride
so farewell mademoiselle, knicker-bocker hotel
farewell to money owed
but when your leg still hurts and you need more shirts
you got to get back on the road
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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
