She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She Was Only a Grocer's Daughter was the third album from British band, The Blow Monkeys, originally released in 1987.
The album title is a reference to the then-Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, whose Conservative government was unpopular with several left wing, pro-Labour Party music acts of the 1980s (including The Blow Monkeys) who joined the Red Wedge movement as part of their political activism.
The titles and lyrics of some of the songs on this album reflect the dissatisfaction of Dr Robert and The Blow Monkeys with the political situation in the UK during this period.
