Cocaine Socialism

I thought that you were joking

When you said: I want to see you

To discuss your contribution

To the future of our nations heart and soul

Six o'clock, my place, Whitehall

But I arrived just after seven

But you said: It doesn't matter

I understand your situation and your image I'm flattered

I'd just like to tell you

That I love all of your albums

Could you sign this for my daughter?

She's in hospital her name is Miriam

Now I'll get down to the gist

Do you want a line of this?

Are you a socialist?

I'm doing fine

Buzzing all the time

Just one hit

And I feel great

And I support

The welfare state

You must be a socialist because you're always off out on the piss

In your private members bar

Yes you are, you superstar

Well you sing about common people

And the misshapes and the misfits

So can you bring them to my party

Can you get them all to to sniff this?

All I'm really saying is

Come on and rock the vote for me

All I need is come on, roll up that note for me

The gist of all this is

Do you want hits or do you want misses?

Are you a socialist?

Socialist, socialist

You can be just what you want to be

Just as long as you don't try and compete with me

And we've waited such a long time for a chance to help our own kind

Please come on and tow the party line

You owe it to yourself

Don't think of anyone else

We promise we won't tell

We won't tell

We won't tell
