I'm in love with the person in the sandwich centre If she didn't exist I'd have to invent her There isn't any secret to my frequent visits It's the way she makes them and they're all exquisite I'm in love with the person in the sandwich centre I'm enamoured of the magic of her fresh polenta My temperature rises and my pulses quicken When she gets cracking with the coronation chicken Geraldine, Geraldine I know there's much more to life than the physical side And I should put these thoughts on hold But when she buttering my baguette My blood runs hot and cold Geraldine, G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Geraldine Geraldine, G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G I'm in love with the person in the sandwich centre I'm living for the moment that I next frequent her In beauty's eyes beholding my inamorata As she works her wonders on a dried tomato Geraldine, Geraldine I know there's much more to life than the sensual side And the spiritual should come first But when she's buttering my baguette I think I'm going to burst Geraldine, that's the nicest badge I've ever seen Geraldine, you make the world seem fresh and clean Geraldine, G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Geraldine Geraldine, G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G Title: Re: Can anyone idenyify these lyrics?

Geraldine, by Ian Dury & The Blockheads. Incidentally, did he pass away? A truly brave man. Title: Re: Can anyone idenyify these lyrics? Post by: RED-DOG on May 28, 2006, 02:23:05 PM Easy peasy. Geraldine, by Ian Dury & The Blockheads. Incidentally, did he pass away? A truly brave man. Unfortunately, yes. He shuffled off this mortal coil. He lived his life on his own terms though, and left a great legacy. Title: Re: Can anyone idenyify these lyrics?

Title: Re: Can anyone idenyify these lyrics? Post by: ifm on May 28, 2006, 02:45:32 PM Just to explain, Ian Dury did a song called "spasticus Autisticus" to highlight problems for disabled people and it backfired a bit when it was banned by a load of radio stations and record shops.
Title: Re: Can anyone idenyify these lyrics? Post by: RED-DOG on May 28, 2006, 02:50:04 PM Apart from spastic you mean, though it was well intended. No, I didn't mean apart from spastic, If I had, I would have said so. No offence Ian, it just surprises me when people tell me what I meanĀ ;) Title: Re: Can anyone idenyify these lyrics? Post by: ifm on May 28, 2006, 02:52:53 PM No probs, i thought the song was a lowlight in his career.

And, too see this in context, you'd need to be aware that Ian had quite severe personal disabilities. In the age in which Ian was bought up, he would have been described as a "spastic". He was hugely influential in raising the awareness that folks with disabilities should not be discriminated against, so it was a bit odd that his music highlighting this was banned by Radio 1!

Well put Tikay - offended plenty - but sometimes offense is worthwhile and needed. Showed discrimination against disability more that it was banned IMHO. Title: Re: Can anyone idenyify these lyrics?

Yes, the supreme irony that the suits at the Radio Stations got whooshed completely by Ian! "No discrimination" they trumpeted, to a man who knew more about being discriminated against than most.
