Pursey is keen to show me his home territory in the back lanes of Hersham. All I ever wanted was to capture the essence of the people I met in the playground." More specifically, Harry was "an old English sheepdog I knew that kept shitting in the garden". "They go to the pub, they meet some girls, they nick a car." Pursey explains that they exist in the same spirit as "Charles Dickens characters. "It came from an album, That's Life, about a day in the life of a kind of Asbo kid," says Pursey.

Then, last summer, Sham 69 were asked to play a gig at the legendary punk club CBGB in New York. In protest, he took all his paintings down and installed them in a nearby pub. He had an exhibition of paintings in Brighton in which one of his works, portraying an Abu Ghraib prisoner, remained un-hung. The volatile Pursey courts controversy wherever he goes. The band duly cancelled Sham 69 gigs in Brazil and Argentina so Pursey could be around to promote the song. So clearly, making "Hurry Up England" appealed to Pursey.
I know him a bit from Reading where he was singing my songs pissed out of his brains.
"But when I got to the studios, there was Graham Coxon's band. The group is claiming it as the "original".Īs far as his version was concerned, Pursey assumed that Sham 69 would record the final cut. They're saying, 'You've nicked the idea'." Another version of "Hurry Up England" from a group called Motty's Sheepskin has now been released. "Then this kid from the East End calls up and says, 'You promised my mate we could do a football cover of "Hurry Up Harry" ages ago for the Macmillan nurses.' I didn't know anything about it, and suddenly I'm stuck with this as well. "I said to Paul Jackson that I wasn't sure, but he said, 'The people have asked you to do it, Jimmy.' Then they're telling me it's for the Teenage Cancer Trust." It was an offer Pursey couldn't refuse, particularly as he had a cancer scare recently.īut Pursey's ordeal was not over.
