One of those songs I didn't understand the real meaning of when I was a kid. Like 'Turning Japanese' by the Vapors. I also remember hearing the lyric from Squeeze's 'Cool for Cats' (I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone) and saying to my mate at school that it was a stupid lyric, why we would he be carrying a bone with him when he goes to a girl's house? I bet kids these days aren't so naïve.
Weirdly enough my best mate moved to Billericay and his surname is Dickinson... my references went....wooooosh! Over his head
I swear on planet rock the other month someone said his son who was 10 wanted his favourite ac/dc song - giving the dog a bone. Remember thinking in 4 years the penny will drop and he’ll be like WTF is wrong with my parents??
Wilko, Norman Watt-Roy and Dylan Howe aka the Wilko Johnson Band are all ex-blockheads Bring on the 23rd of next month.
