I heard the deal was done That it was sealed last night The red woman stood to take the oath lt wasn't front page news She wasn't pretty These days things are either nothing or they're both Another sip of wine another card And then I really have to leave They saved my place in line The ugly anodyne To beg another's master for reprieve Uhuhuhu uhuhuhu woho.
Well is it just my ears Or does that beat appear Just a little quieter than before I guess we knew the score The centre couldn't hold The ladies pearls will skid across the floor It'll come from Albert Dock It'll come from Tower Bridge It'll grab our politicians by the balls Our quiet stupor our broken culture Our best defence is no defence at all Uhuhuhu uhuhuhu woho.
And you can call it progress And you can call it foresight Oh I don't know its name baby But it keeps me up at night And I'm sure there's something coming I'm sure it will be soon That the devils of our time will slouch Across a blackened room So take this epitaph Take anything that's left I don't want to be here Come the day I did my best you know I tried to swim the tide But I am just as guilty in my way For every beaten brow For every heaving chest For every shaky word on every page It’s taken 30 years And a little pill to learn That love's the greatest instrument of rage It’s taken 30 years And a little pill to learn That love's the greatest instrument of rage Uhuhuhu Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu Uhuhuhu woho woho.
