Blockbuster Lyrics

Cover art for Blockbuster lyrics by Sweet

This song is about Jimmy Savile. At the time he was a BBC DJ known for his penchant for young women and it is highly likely the band members knew of this. "You better watch out if you've got long black hair" is a reference to women who may be his prey. "You'd better not go, you'd never know what you might find" is symbolic of how Savile would invite young fans to go with him backstage or to his dressing room. "You don't know what's going on behind his disguise" is referring to how Savile would use his position at the BBC to prey on victims, all the while as a wholesome figure. "We just haven't got a clue what to do" (sang in an exasperated tone) is the BBC's response to people's questioning of Savile's accusers and their helplessness in the situation. "The cops are out [...] don't know if they'll ever be able to block buster out" is indicative of how the police turned a blind eye to Savile, again, because of his power at the BBC. "Cause he is more evil than anyone here ever thought" is a reference to Savile's status as a paedophile and alleged necrophiliac, and the worst person at the BBC during Operation Yew Tree.

Also in "Block buster" is two words starting with B allegorical to the BBC where Savile worked.
