Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

And so much for Pete the Poet. I was reading a Mojo review for Babyshambles' Shotter's Nation album fairly recently and was amazed to read, "...The grim social comment in Baddies Boogie ("A lousy life for a washed-up wife/And a permanently plastered pissed-up bastard") doesn't match highpoints of yore, but as an echo of what Doherty used to excel at, it's nice to hear..."

So I gets me 1988 The Oi! of Sex LP out and there's Nick Toczeck's Britanarchists, singing "It's a lousy life for the washed-up wife/ A lousy life for the washed-up wife/With a permanently plastered/Permanently plastered/Pissed-up pissed-up bastard bastard" etc.

Bastard!
