Under the management of Andrew King and Peter Jenner (the original managers of Pink Floyd) Ian Dury and the Blockheads quickly gained a reputation as one of the top live acts of the “New Wave”. They built up a dedicated following in the UK and other countries and scored several hit singles, including “What a Waste”, “Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick” (which was a UK number one at the beginning of 1979, selling just short of a million copies), “Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3” (number three in the UK in 1979), and the rock and roll anthem, “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll”. (Although it is sometimes claimed that Dury coined the phrase, there is evidence that it was already in common use and a virtually identical wording was used by Australian band Daddy Cool for the title of their second album Sex, Dope & Rock’n’Roll: Teenage Heaven, released in 1972[5]).
Dury’s lyrics are a distinctive combination of lyrical poetry, word play, observation of British everyday (working-class) life, acute character sketches, and vivid, earthy sexual humour. “This is what we find … ome improvement expert Harold Hill of Harold Hill, Of do-it-yourself dexterity and double-glazing skill, Came home to find another gentleman’s kippers in the grill, So he sanded off his winkle with his Black & Decker drill.” The song “Billericay Dickie” continues this sexual content, rhyming “I had a love affair with Nina, In the back of my Cortina” with “A seasoned-up hyena, Could not have been more obscener”.

Dury's lyrics - classic stuff, and the tightest band around. Everybody rates them, hardly get played at all. Their day will come, and their light will shine again.
