Ian Dury & The Blockheads

Newly restored to 4K Definition.

Ian Dury was a rock and roll vagabond with the wit, humour and intelligence of Noël Coward and Oscar Wilde. His verbal dexterity as an entertainer and a lyric writer gave the world some of its most famous phrases – “sex and drugs and rock and roll” and “reasons to be cheerful.” He was a true Renaissance man – a talented painter, musician and actor –  who left behind a body of work that continues to amuse, impress and delight to this day.

The band The Blockheads may be best known for their hit singles, recorded with Dury, "What a Waste", "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick", "Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3", and "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll".

Lyrics:

Till I met her, I thought I knew the answers

I thought a bit of treatment was all a body needs

I'll take you where the haps are

All the handsome chaps are

Squeeze you till I make your feelings bleed

She put me right in under fifteen minutes

She could have had my things off, so sadly was I raised

I had a lot to learn, dear

If I'd gone on the turn, dear

It wouldn't be surprising nowadays

You know she's Superman's big sister

Her X-ray eyes see through my silly ways

Superman's big sister, superior skin and blister

It doesn't seem surprising nowadays... yeah!

Superman's big sister

Superman's big sister

(oh-oh-ooh-oh)

Superman's big sister

(oh-oh-ooh-oh)

Superman's big sister

(oh-oh-ooh-oh)

I said she's Superman's big sister

It doesn't seem surprising nowadays

And now I've had the sense to keep her friendship

And though I nearly miffed it in many little ways

The story's got no sequel

'Cause me and her are equal

Is that so surprising nowadays?

Because she's Superman's big sister

Her X-ray eyes see through my silly ways

I said she's Superman's big sister, his grown up skin and blister

Is that so surprising nowadays?
