lyrics

Conservative failure and employment disgrace
The Iron Lady left this country an empty place
Dead socialites, Neil Kinnock’s face
New Labour/Old Tory – the same fucking mistakes

AND WE WON’T LET YOU GO
WHILST YOU’VE GOT PROMISES TO KEEP
AND WHERE DOES IT END?
WHEN WE’VE GOT MILES TO GO BEFORE WE SLEEP?

A fresh new man with sound bite success
The promise of a nation re-manoeuvring from the left
But his bullshit words were spoken for history
The legacy of a man never to fulfil any policy

AND WE WON’T LET YOU GO
WHILST YOU’VE GOT PROMISES TO KEEP
AND WHERE DOES IT END?
WHEN WE’VE GOT MILES TO GO BEFORE WE SLEEP?

Is this the finest hour?

Do you remember when we were innocent and young?
Didn’t care about anything at all
When the only things that mattered were the school bell and football

AND WE WON’T LET YOU GO
WHILST YOU’VE GOT PROMISES TO KEEP
AND WHERE DOES IT END?
WHEN WE’VE GOT MILES TO GO BEFORE WE SLEEP?

Is this the finest hour?
