Twenty years a-growing and then...

suddenly people are offended enough by the language in this tune; so much that the BBC faded the lyrics in spots? What on earth is wrong with people these days?

I don't even particularly LIKE the song, but I don't find the lyrics a problem, in the context they are used. Gritty realism yeah, but that's what the song is ABOUT, innit? After all these years the song has become if not a classic, certainly a cultish aspect...it's a little late for gays or women, or anyone else to get their knickers in a twist over the tone of the lyrics. Damn foolishness, and I'm glad the BBC rescinded their decision to censor the song...and I'll do my bit to promote the song...just because I can.
