I thought that you were joking / When you said "I want to see you
To discuss your contribution / To the future of our nation s heart and soul
Six o clockmy placeWhitehall" / Well I arrived just after seven
But you said "It doesn t matter" / "I understand your situation
And your imageand I m flattered / Oh and I d just like to tell you
That I love all of your albums / Could you sign this for my daughter?
She s in hospitalher name is Miriam / Now get down to the gist:
Do you want a line of this? / Are you a (sniff) / socialist?"
"Doin fineyeah! / Buzzin all the time / Just one hit / And I feel great
And I support / The welfare state / Ohyou must be socialist
Cos you re always off out on the piss / In your private member s bar
Oh yes you are / Yer superstar / Well you sing about common people
And the mis-shapes and the misfits / So can you bring them to my party
And get them all to sniff this? / And all I m really saying
Is come on and rock the vote for me / All I m really saying
Is come on roll up that note for me / The gist of all of this is
Do you want hits or d you want misses? / Are you a socialistyeah
Socialistyeah / Socialistyeah / Oh yeah"
"Yeahyou can be just what you want to be
Just as long as you don t try to compete with me
And we ve waited such a long time
For the chance to help our own kindso now
Please come on and tow the party line / Oh you owe it to yourself
Don t think of anybody else / And we promise we won t tell
Oh we won t telland we won t sell" / No we won t / No we won t
No we won t
