Sung to the tune of "New England"

"It was ten years ago when you came along
You're still in power now but you won't be for long
When will the Electorate grow up and understand
All the damage that New Labour has brought upon this land

I loathed you then as I loathe you still
Your lies and spin and legislation makes me feel quite ill
I don't feel bad about letting you know
I just can't wait till the day that you go

I don't want to change the world
I've just had enough of New Labour
Bloody Gordon makes me want to hurl
I don't want to change the world
I've just had enough of New Labour
Bloody Gordon makes me want to hurl

You got me on CCTV
And DNA'd me yesterday
I can't survive, I've nowt to spend
You've taxed me to the bitter end

I saw you on the News last night
You're an ugly, boring, mouth-breathing hermaphrodite
It's wrong to think you really care
I wish, I wish, that you weren't there

I don't want to change the world
I've just had enough of New Labour
Bloody Gordon makes me want to hurl
I don't want to change the world
I've just had enough of New Labour
Bloody Gordon makes me want to hurl

Your dreams are full of strange ideas
You've screwed the Budget up for years
But other things got in the way
And now you're forcing us to pay

Once upon a time back then
I voted Tory once again
And waited for the chance to get rid of you
When you buggers won again I knew that we were screwed

I don't want to change the world
I've just had enough of New Labour
Bloody Gordon makes me want to hurl
I don't want to change the world
I've just had enough of New Labour
Bloody Gordon makes me want to hurl"

Sung to the tune of Billy Bragg's "New England" and doesn't the irony cheer one up?


Here's Kirsty MacColl's version:



and a live version from Billy Bragg:




Thanks to THE DIARY OF A GEEK IN OXFORDSHIRE for the spot, if not his views on Israel/Gaza.
