Lifeboat
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.
It's true
Taht there was support for you
When you said that you would do
All the things you are supossed to do
So why
Kiss your promises goodbye
Now you're sitting there on high
Tell me who
Said it was alright for you
To stick your nose into
Anything you want to
Then fake
It's a genuine mistake
When we catch you on the make
Big government
Look at these clowns
Screwing around
Big government
Dragging us down
I don't wanna drown
Somebody get me a lifeboat
Because you're not getting mo vote
Somebody get me a life coach
'Cos you're starting to encroach
Got to ger me a lifestyle
'Cos you're not goin' in my file
Someone get me a lifeboat
No, you're not getting my vote
Somebody get me a life
J-J-J- Jobs for the boys
Transparency
Apologies
Austerity
But you don't fool me, no
Big Government
Making up the rules
Treat us like fools
Big Government
Making us pay
I don't wanna to stay
Somebody get me a lifeboat
Because you're not getting mo vote
Somebody get me a life coach
'Cos you're starting to encroach
Got to ger me a lifestyle
'Cos you're not goin' in my file
Someone get me a lifeboat
No, you're not getting my vote
Somebody get me a life
