lyrics

Now is not the time for irony or being clever
We need a turn of tide, a change in the weather
Scroll down the headlines but we never read the text
Don't see what's happening but we know what's on next

Miscalculating zero times two million
Misdirecting taj mahal for Brighton Pavilion
Lord have mercy on this mis-shapen bowl
I been swallowed down an artisanal hole

Can nobody round here recognise my plight?
There's something in the glass we raised that dont seem quite right
They're pulling down the shutters around us
They're turning out the lights
And they're serving up a carvery, a carvery of blight

I try to be mature, I try to be civil
But someone send a pox upon this curious drivel
Infect the je ne sais quoir and the savoire faire
How much fever can you spare?

So, Empathia sympathia im memorium
Stacked up in suitcases in vintage emporiums
Poured out in speeches like a philanthropic hogwash
Served up with pulled pork in a hand foraged brioche
