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?
