Ian Dury - This Is What We Find Lyrics
Morning Reg, meat and two veg?
He done him with a ten pound sledge he done himself a favour crash
Forty year old housewife, Mrs. Elizabeth Walk of Lambeth Walk
Had a husband who was jubblified with only half a stalk
Took an overdose of Omo, this made the neighbours talk
Could have been watching Frankie Vaughan on the telly and giving herself a scratch
This is what we find
This is what we find
This is what we find
A sense of humour is required
Amongst the bacon rind
Hello, Brian, wash and iron?
Single bachelor with little dog, Tony Green of Turnham Green
Said, "Who's a clever boy, then, girl, yes you know whom I mean"
'Cos the mongrel laid a cable in the sandpit of the playground of the park where they had been
And with a bit of tissue, he wiped its bum-hole clean
A bit of claggy on the waggy
This is what we find
This is what we find
This is what we find
They must have had a funny time
On the Golden Hind
O vanitas vanitatum
Which of us is happy in this life?
Which of us has our desire, or having it, is gratified?
Hello, Mrs. Wood this boy looks familiar, they used to call him Robin Hood
Now he's robbin' fuckin' shit cunt
Home improvement expert Harold Hill of Harold Hill
Of do-it-yourself dexterity and double-glazing skill
Came home to find another gentleman's kippers in the grill
So sanded off his winkle with his Black and Decker drill
This is what we find
This is what we find
This is what we find
The hope that springs eternal
Springs right up your behind
This is what we find
This is what we find
This is what we find
This is what we find
This is what we find
This is what we find

Ian Dury This Is What We Find Comments
You don't have to be a Londoners to dig Ian Dury, but it probably helps. Comic, cockney genius.
Reminds me of great uncle Harry Champion
"A bit of claggy on the waggy"!!
The film with Andy Sirkis is absolutely brilliant a must see!
Dury's witty and surreal lyrics are perhaps the nearest thing to a British Bob Dylan.
Bob who?
Dury compared to Dylan? Not really Dury's skill with words is of another league
Elvis Costello would be closer to Dylan I think
my uncle played this at christmas probs one of the most weirdest christmases to date
These lyrics that Ian Dury wrote somehow explained what kind of person he was, let alone a musician.
Genius..My heart at the age of 12.Love you still..R.I.P Ian Dury xxx
Oh, vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanitas...
I am still amazed at this mans talent after nearly 40 years no one has put lyrics together like Ian Dury, funny, poetic, satirical, imaginative and ultimately Brilliant...Ian Dury and the Blockheads have no equals in the music business. RIP and thanks for the upload.
Right you are.
Possibly Elvis Costello and Donald Fagan but they’re a bit different.
Came home to find another gentleman's kippers in the grill so he sanded of his winkle with his black & decker drill…..Lyrical masterpiece,broke the mould when creating Ian Dury
Good gal, a bitta claggy on the waggy ;D the first time I heard "...laid a cable in the sandpit at the playground..." I immediately had the image of kids getting fried by electricity go through my head and thought, this is truely sickly abstract but then when I considered the bit of the guy wiping the dogs but clean I cracked up then listened again. Funny bastard, that Dury and a clever bastard at that, prolly got it from his mum ;-D if ya know what I mean
@Dazzwidd laying a cable means having a sh*t
Americans miss out on so much of our humour lol
Home improvement expert Harold Hill of Harold Hill, of do it yourself dexterity and double glazing skill, came home to find another gentleman's kippers under the grill, so he sanded off his winkle with his Black and Decker drill. Bwahahaha! Sorry but I crack up at that everytime I hear it ;)
Me too.
Ian Dury songs such as this,and some of Judge Dredd's,made me laugh out loud. Isn't he taking the mickey out of the expression "this is what we find",which was something heard uttered by certain snobbish people upon encountering how the other half lives. The 6 dislikers on this can have a curry powder sandwich each.
Love it
Brilliant!!
