Lyrics
Head in the clouds And a mouth full of pie Head in a blouse Everybody loves him I see why
Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave Oh, Dagenham Dave Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave Oh, Dagenham Dave
I love Karen, I love Sharon On the window screen With never the need to fight Or to question A single thing
Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave Oh, Dagenham Dave Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave Oh, Dagenham Dave
Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave Oh, Dagenham Dave Dagenham Dave, Dagenham Dave Dagenham Dave
He'd love to touch He's afraid that he might self-combust I could say more But you get the general idea
Dagenham Dave Dagenham Dave

Wikipedia Information

"Dagenham Dave" is a song by English singer-songwriter Morrissey, issued as a single in August 1995, a week prior to the release of his fifth studio album, Southpaw Grammar (1995). It was Morrissey's first release on RCA Records, the label he had signed to after leaving EMI. This was the second Morrissey solo single not to feature the singer on the cover; instead, English football coach and former player Terry Venables is pictured sticking out his tongue. Venables was born in Dagenham.Upon its release, the single reached number 26 on the UK Singles Chart. The promotional video for the single featured former Grange Hill actor Mark Savage as the titular Dave. This song is not related to the track of the same name by the Stranglers from their 1977 album, No More Heroes. "Dagenham Dave" is also naval slang for someone who is somewhat unstable or crazy, Dagenham being close to Barking ("barking mad").
