ian dury and the blockheads - bus driver's prayer and other stories [192]


A true legend here a man who entertained me for years with his great lyrics and blistering tunes and although now passed away i still dig out his albums for a bit of a listen now and again. Especially this one as his Irish roots are fully on display here. I once heard an Irish cover of one of his greatest tracks with the title "Hit Me With Your Shovel Mick"!

Heres a snatch of what we are missing from the track "Poo Poo The Prawn"
"Was a very hungry fella
I defrosted my Paella
Came down with Salmonella
Three weeks intensive care
They failed to send technicians in
To check the air conditioning
Which was unfortunately transmissioning
A case of Legionnaire's"


1."That's Enough of That"
2."Bill Haley's Last Words"
3."Poor Joey"
4."Quick Quick Slow"
5."Fly in the Ointment"
6."O'Donegal"
7."Poo-Poo in the Prawn"
8."London Talking"
9."Have A Word"
10."D'Orine The Cow"
11."Your Horoscope"
12."No Such Thing As Love"
13."Two Old Dogs Without A Name"
14."Bus Driver's Prayer"
