----------------.............................

*from 'New Boots and Panties!' (1977)*


Intro:

E, D  A

Verse 1:

    E
You must have seen,
Parties of Blockheads;
     D
With blotched,
And lagered skin.
A
 Blockheads,
With food particles,
In their teeth,
       E
What a horrible state,
            D  A
They're in.

Verse 2:

            E
They've got womanly breasts,
Under pale mauve vests,
D
 Shoes like,
Dead pigs' noses.
A
 Cornflake packet jacket,
Catalogue trousers,
  E
A mouth what never closes.

Verse 3:

    E
You must have seen,
Blockheads,
In raucous teams,
D
 Dressed up after work.
    A
Who screw their poor,
Old Eileens,
    E
Get sloshed,
                D  A
And go berserk.

Verse 4:

E
 Rotary,
Accessory watches,
     D
Hire-purchase,
Signet rings.
  A
A beauty to,
The bully boys,
   E
No lonely vestige,
        D  A
Clings.

Verse 5:

    E
Why bother at all,
About Blockheads?
    D
Why shouldn't they,
Do as they please?
         A
You know if it came,
To a brainy game,
          E
You could baffle,
                       D  A
A Blockhead with ease.

Break:

D
 How would you like,
One puffing and blowing,
In your ear-hole?
E
 Or pissing in,
                    D  A
Your swimming pool?

Interlude:

E, D  A

Verse 6:

E
 Bigger brained Blockheads,
Often acquire;
D
 Black and orange cars.
A
 Premature ejaculation,
Drivers,
      E
Their soft-top's,
               D  A
Got roll-bars.

Verse 7:

E
 "Fill her up",
They say to Blockheads,
        D
"Go on, stick it,
Where it hurts".
      A 
Their shapeless haircuts,
Don't enhance;
      E
Their ghastly,
                 D  A
Patterned shirts.

Verse 8:

    E
Why bother at all,
About Blockheads,
   D
Su-perior as you are?
       A
You're thoughtful and kind,
With a well-stocked mind,
  E
A Blockhead can't,
                D  A
Think very far.

Break:

D
 Imagine finding one,
In your laundry basket,
E
 Banging nails,
                       D  A
In your big black dog.

Solo:

E, D, A, D  A

Verse 9:

    E
Why bother at all,
About Blockheads?
           D
Why should you,
Care what they do?
     A
'Cos after all,
Is said and done'
E                        D  A
 You're a Blockhead too.

Break:

(Instrumental):

D, E, D  A

Outro:

E
 Blockheads,
Blockheads,
D
 Blockheads,
Blockheads,
A
 Blockheads,
Blockheads,
E
 Blockheads,
           D  A
Blockheads.
E
 Blockheads,
Blockheads.

(Repeat to Fade)
