Hollywood Boulevard Lyrics

Cover art for Hollywood Boulevard lyrics by Big Audio Dynamite

A great song, maybe my favorite BAD. Obvious references to Clockwork Orange, the Droogies at the Milk Bar. Getting into "situations" but turning out to be posers, just like in the film. The samples from "My Favorite Year" are also great. "He's plastered... so are some of the finest buildings in Europe, if I were truly plastered could I do this... crash thud" fantastic. A sample from a film about what it's like to not be a poser, used in a song to discuss posers - "hell raisers to the end... had a drop too many in a toast to all their 'friends'" Mick - genius. Mick and Joe where both genius.
