Con Lab Lib
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I've been trying to make a living
Working eight hours a day
But despite the overtime
What I take home is
A disgrace
Still old con-lab-lib still
Keeps coming round
Looking for support
I've got a car that doesn't go
A baby that won't stop crying
And a wife that works so hard
She can't afford a lie-in
Still old con-lab-lib keeps coming round
Look for support
Who the hell does he think he is
Telling us the way that we should live
While he's out dining A La Carte
We're back to war like
Back to war like rationing parts
He says he doesn't really care if we are
For against him
Cause he knows in the long run
We are bound to elect him
Still old con-lab-lib keeps coming round
Looking for support
I've never seen anybody that could lie with
Such ease
I call it second nature
He calls it his policies
And as for his movements
As your expect
He's extremely moderate right where he is left
Who the hell does he think he is
Telling us the way that we should live
While he's out dining A La Carte
We're back to war like
Back to war like rationing parts
Well I've been trying to make a living
Working eight hours a day
But despite the overtime
What I take home is a disgrace
Still old con-lab-lib still
Keeps coming round
