Onsind - Pokémon City Limits (Never Trust a Tory) lyrics

Chelsea's only memory of
Meeting her grandfather
Was Christmas '91 at a pub in Denby Dale
Going through the motions of
An early family trip
Distracted by her Gameboy
Chewing on her bottom lip
She couldn't comprehend the nature
Of their stay
And in his youth he'd been formidable
But the sickness left him skeletal and frail

As the grown-ups buried hatchets and did
Their best to make their peace
Chelsea was oblivious, blissfully at ease
Until the old man started ranting
About Lamont and Heseltine
And as the fire in his belly rose
It captured her attention for the
First and only time and he looked at her
And he gave her some advice
And it stuck with her
It was simple and precise

He told her "Never trust a Tory
They'll betray you when it matters
They will scramble to the top and
Then they'll kick away the ladder, hinny
Never trust a Tory, or a Tory in disguise
Yeah
You can see it when you look them in the eye"

It's been over twenty years since they
Put him in the ground
He died on Christmas day and, looking back
It's really quite profound
How those words have stuck with her
How they've influenced her life
How they trace a track of
Lineage a genealogy implied
And she knows it's kind of cynical and
Tribal to think along those lines
But time and time again she's seen
The old fella proven right

"Never trust a Tory
They'll betray you when it matters
They will scramble to the top and
Then they'll kick away the ladder
Never trust a Tory, or a Tory in disguise
Yeah
You can see it when you look them in the eye
So just make sure you look
The bastard in the eye"
