blue cap / blue jean
leather cool caliper
be-bop cut quiff
motorbike bonehead
post-war punk teen
'58 calibre
six-string raff riff
petrol head / brown bread
songs of the old pop genus
created every youth anew
when the trad went mad
and stopped dressing like their dad
genius filled each crepe-soled shoe

insert and I, it appears, have some shared history although we have never met! One part of that is Chaz Jankel of the Blockheads via his sister. We are all only separated by six people, so they say! And that Mr Dury was a genius - and a very lovely man by all accounts.
