[Dan Bull - Changes lyrics]
Seriously though so
The people have spoken
And nobody's really sure what they've said
All we can tell is they want some changes
Dear David
So you're taking the reins from Labour
Just don't handle them with force
Or Lady Britannia could fall from her horse
Not all of us are sure
Whether you're the right fellow
To weather us to port in this storm
Although I'm sure that when
Gordon was brought in
We'd have been better off trying
To talk to a wall you wanted to be seen as
The man down the street
Now you're the man in Downing Street
I'm not asking you to live in a glass house
But we'd be glad to see a bit of transparency
Thatcher's been and smashed the glass roof
But now you've got a grass
Roof - the thatcher's been
You better watch it doesn't catch a beam
From the grassroots camera's gleam
Because the heat's on
These days when a scandal's seen
It's like there's no smoke
Without fire, matches please
People are fed up and hate
Being treated as second rate
They're ready to see a head on a plate
That's not me by the way
We'd get on as mates
But, I'm just saying be ready to take it
That's just the way that it is
(That's just the way it is)
Ah, yeah (Things'll never be the same)
Ooh yeah (That's just the way it is)
Yep (ah yeah)
Ay
I see no changes, all I see is eighties faces
Made up with a public relations facelift
And when Cameron's on camera he makes it
Easy to see his patriot's bracelet
Can you blame our aversion to
Another Tony Blair: version two?
You're the person who's serving us
So we deserve a dude we can trust
But, you Tories talk about big society
I thought there was no such thing as society
Thatcher's plans for taxes stank
So let's not go back to that
But right now, the bankers are laughing
Right back to the bank and it's tragic
MPs need to stop spending expenses
On mending expensive fences
It's offensive to the senses
When it comes down to cash incentives
It's senseless how you splash out
But the comments about class
Are comments without class
There's not a doubt about that
People who need heating don't give a bleep
Whether you've been to Eton
They just want you keep them from freezing
In the bleakest seasons it seems to
Me that we're being cheated
When we see the sleaze who do we believe in?
You need to rethink your reasons
See, we need a leader, not a devious speaker
Eager to keep secrets beneath a veneer
Keeping people in fear for your career
Isn't the reason you're here
I need to to be clear:
We want someone that'll live
Up to his promises
Not rhetorical oratory delivered
From his orifice
I know it's difficult in politics
To run an honest ship
There's a lot of bollocks and a lot of spin
To be honest it's an honour list of onanists
More bothered with their image than
The problems of the populace
But, I promise this: if you stop grinning
And make it your mission to
Take criticism on the chin
You'll have the confidences of a lot
Who think that we're on the
Brink of an apocalypse
Let's stay positive
(That's just the way it is)
It can't be that bad
(Things'll never be the same)
It probably can be that bad, but
(That's just the way it is, ah yeah)
That's just the way it is
Rest in peace, Gordon Brown's carreer
Rest in peace that's just the way it is
Do y'know what I mean?
The people have spoken
And nobody's really sure what they've said
All we can tell is they want some changes
