Ian Dury - My Old Man Lyrics

My old man had a vein broke in his brain. I am still so sad. He went so fast. From being the livliest 86 years old to gone.

I fist listened to this as his son, now as his old man

'Made a racket when he rowed' ......that's my old man too ....but he was an ' arsehole a bastard a fucking cunt and a prick' to quote the last tune on this side of the album . Thanks Ian x

this gets me round corners thanks ian

All the stuff that I wish I'd said X bye dad

Who were the 8 bastids that thumbed this down. Rotters, all of ya.

Their old man was Billy Hunt. Bet the bejaysus outta em.. My guess

Ian and the Blockheads...can it get any better?

My Old Man was a businessman..good Dad..great Fella..Big Funny,Scot..died of cancer..boom..gone,59..did not smoke..i was a junkie,lost touch.pity for him..should have been me...

My old man
Made a racket when he rowed
Brilliant lyrics
RIP Ian

My old man was fairly handsome; he smoked too many cigs

RIP dad, my old man. From your son x

My old man said be a West Ham fan, I said no, no, no...

Bye dad. Love you. He was fairly handsome and he did smoke too many cigs. 12 years since I saw him. Now he's gone and this song means so much. Xxx

Love that Norman Watt-Roy bass-line. So tasty.

a great song . glad he had a good life with his old man ...... mine was a bastard . thats life . A very very cool man mr Dury RIP .

incredibly touching tribute to...his old man.

the magic feeling of Ian Dury!!!!!!
He was one the best singer and human of this wild moment.
Some time i ask me seriously :"jesus try to back again on our evil planet and nobody saw it...........AGAIN : (

Thinking of my ole man, miss ya pop x

Goodbye Dad, God bless you and thanks for everything you did for me.All the best mate, from your son...

Great bassline from Norman Watt-Roy.

My old grandad worked for British Rail. Maybe you've met him on the other side? If not, maybe you have me me late sainted mother, drinking her gin and playing cards with my Aunt Mary. Who knows? We are all energy and will dissipate to the same area, unless of course, we are disgusting murderers/pedophiles/Manson types. Their spirits go somewhere else, near Hitler's, and Idi Amin's are, I imagine.

D Thomas What?

i bloody hope so mate .

Bye dad ✌🏻️

You can hear real emotion in his voice, this is a really personal song from Ian to his dad.

OI OI , BLOCK....ED !! EX MUSICIAN MY OLD MAN XX

Not just the sincerity of the lyrics - the great backing music of the Blockheads

This song makes me think about my dad...

Gotta be one of his best songs, very emotional.

Goodbye Dad - All the best mate, from your son...

All I want to tell dad is I love him...closest I ever get is here...

If this ain't a love song, what is? Beautifull

Relations had begun ,all the best mate from your son x

love this track, rings true.

What a perfectly wonderful Father's Day gift this would have been had any of my children sent it to me! Sadly they did not. Hint, hint my children.

Beautiful mix of jazz and reggae sung by a proper cockney . Rip Mr Dury

He was from Essex. I don't think he ver said he was a 'proper Cockney'.

lovely cups of rosy lee...donkeys, all over the straubries.

Bleedin' marvlus'

This is the best Cockney song I've ever 'eard!

i just found a mr scruff song (midnight feast) that samples the last 10 seconds of this (amazing) song.

sleep tight ian..god bless..xx
