Lyrics
Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night
I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding some light
I can't go into detail or finger unfounded fools
But there are some here amongst us that are not playing to the rules
I've rounded up the lowlife and local CID
Offered a free massage or else the third degree
There is no simple solution in this life we lead
So make things easy for yourself to the baronage concede
We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of Class
We want Freddie for our leader all stand and raise your champagne glass
Peace shall not prevail in Purley came the stark warning today
From his hospital bed Drip fed Fred vowed he was here to stay
I'll tell you something for nothing never in all my days
Have I felt so intimidated by the cheap tactics on display
And now approaching the pulpit the Rt Hon Rev Green Hank C Burnette BBC News
We want Freddie for our leader Freddie is a man of Class
We want Freddie for our leader all stand and raise your champagne glass
We are gathered here this evening to pay our due respects
To Drip-Fed Fred who late last night fell out of his prison bed
We know the nonce behind it who slipped the night PD
The word is out now without doubt you will answer to me
Gentlemen and assassins and ladies of the night
I call upon you this evening in the hope of shedding new light
There is a simple solution one called honour amongst thieves
So we'll take pity on your souls and only cap your knees
I'll tell you something for nothing
I'll tell you oh yeha yeha No No oh heya
No I'll tell ya. Hear me out hear me out hear me out

I didn't take much notice of them when I only had a radio and not a TV set apart from a few songs such as Night Boat to Cairo, Our House and Baggy Trousers and then once I got a TV set and video recorder and borrowed NOW VHS tapes and then later on cable TV so I could watch music channels a whole new world of them opened up to me.

@@ziggypop8106 I think that Madness made the best videos in the 80's and that was at a time when promo videos were at their best for any band or singer. Many bands just make videos of themselves playing live. Madness also have speaking at the beginning of each single as a catch.

I was most sad when it said Mr. Thompson and not Kix. I met Ian Dury when I was working at a venue on his last tour, I tried to use the disabled toilet that was near the manager's office and on trying the door handle heard an almighty "OI!" then 30 seconds later the door opened and it was Ian and I suddenly went semi-mute and all that came out of my mouth was "that was quick" and Ian replied "still the slowest shit I've ever had". God bless him.

@trevorbrown6654 Жыл бұрын

Released just three months before Ian passed away, this song only reached number 55 in the UK. I guess Suggs and the band wanted to record a song with Ian Dury (even though they'd known him since the late 1970s) and realised that time was running out for him. The end result is a solid tribute to him. Interesting to see Phil Jupitus mentioned in the video credits too.

@gregoryclark8217 Жыл бұрын

Two possibilities come to mind regarding Phil Jupitus. They say it was put together at short notice, so either Phil knew people that could help (costumes, locations, extras, ...), or they used him to redo some of Ian Dury's lines. My reasoning for the second possibility is that since Ian Dury was ill, he may not have been able to re-record parts of the vocals. Phil Jupitus is a very talented impressionist and may have been asked to help out.

@@brettlinforth1211 I saw Ian Dury and the blockheads supporting Madness at the first Madstock festival in 1991. Both were brilliant, although Morrissey ruined it by not turning up for his slot. To be fair though he did bring it on himself by saying 'meat is murder' to the crowd the night before before being pelted with hotdogs in return so he brought it on himself to an extent. Flowered Up and Gallon drunk were also on the bill. The lead singer of Glowered up was dressed as a flower and out of his head on something as I recall. A truly memorable gig 😂
