lyrics

A flash of ochre
a splash of red
a cut of lime
burgundy thread

Gotta love Vintage Vince
on the rack of shirts
he feels the width
he goes the extra leg

He's always happy
fifteen minutes to kill
scouring the crockery
In a charity thrill

Gotta love Vintage Vince
his hands smoothing ornaments
picking bone cutlery
in his natty twill

He makes the most
out of days of yore
when people made things to last
when style was king
of the city strides
he rakes his fingers through the mundane past

He's always jolly
with a gingery smile
looking for antiques
in the candlestick pile

He can suss out curtains
textiles are his bag
he knows his jewellery
in his charity swag

He makes his own style
from this and from that
churned out by the old-fashioned factories
where grandma worked
and grandad wooed
and uncle embroidered his everyday tales

Vintage Vince
has his soles nailed up
‘neath his Oxford brogues
He sure rocks the look

His spirit brightens up
the bagel queue
so pleased to see him,
he says 'how do'

Vintage Vince
has Trojan in his shoes
Euro pop
And the Moody Blues

the rarities
and the Northern soul
the jazzmatazz
the post war rock and roll

Vintage Vince
wants more – yes please
always a home
for more intricacies

of the avant garde
with the curling sax
somewhere Vince
will find a gap

in his bedsit
or his lock up
in his bedsit
or his lock up

he's a man with time and space for the whole wide universe

Bobby Bluff Hastings, UK

Martin Rowson - “Imagine Bertholdt Brecht, David Bowie about to book his ticket to Berlin and John Otway had kittens and puppies, and that those hellspawn then interbred incestuously - their progeny would probably sound like "Introducing Bobby Bluff", but with the passionate intensity toned down. I can think of no higher praise than that. Brilliant stuff.” ... more
