Heard Boys Light Up last night for the first time in yonks, and realised that I didn’t know the lyrics well. This isn’t helped by Reyne’s sloppy diction.

Looked it up this morning…

Let me tell you about my mountain home
Where all the ladies names are Joan
Where husband works back late at night
Hopes are up for trousers down
With hostess on a business flight
Taxi in a Mercedes drive
I hope that driver’s coming out alive
The garden it is dorsetted
That lady she’s so corseted
She’s got 15 ways to lead that boy astray
He thinks he’s one and only
But that lovely she’s so lonely
She pumps him full of breakfast and she sends him on his way
What a sing song dance
What a performance
What a cheap tent show
Oh no no no no no

You don’t hear the word dorsetted much these days.

Or many top 40 songs referencing BJs and vibrators.
