about
Keynsham is a town where the local MP is Jacob Rees-Mogg. A local drinker in The Ship once made me laugh by calling him the 'big man on campus' which inspired this song.
lyrics
It’s been a long, road, to the top
But it’s no accident, you don’t get where I am by good luck
I come from good Etonian stock
Please understand that I’ve got plans, now I’m the top dog…
Let’s start with prisons, I got it figured
They’ve been rehabilitating folks for far too long now
No second chances, they’re cattle ranches
I really think we should be milking this giant cash cow
Then let’s drain purses of doctors and the nurses
They can’t go around saving lives and making us pay
We need more powers, let’s give them longer hours
Then when they’re broken smoke ‘em out and swoop in to save the day
I’m no quitter; I’ve started so I’ll finish
Chop up the Human Rights Act, to make it more British
God I’m so strong and tough, Oh yeah I’m the big cheese
I’ve waited long enough, so get down on your knees
Walking tall, with all the answers, tucking into Fortnums hampers
Yeah I’m the Big Man on Campus
Now onto teachers, those whinging leeches
We don’t even need to train them for a PGCE
Sell to high bidders, then we’ll get rid of
Accountability to us and call schools ‘academies’
The so-called ‘needy’, well they’re just greedy
So I’ll slash billions from their welfare, all to stimulate growth
They’ve still got food banks, so where’s all my thanks?
They can keep eating or home heating, but they cannot have both
The motion’s tabled; let’s attack the disabled
‘That lot’ never vote for me, especially the poor
And all the others, demanding single mothers
I’ll take benefit payments away and hide them offshore
God I’m so strong and tough, Head honcho big kahuna, I’ve waited long enough, if you’re poor I’m gonna ruin ya, there’s no method in my madness, dance around you on the canvas, dominate you like Pete Sampras, yeah I’m the big man on campus
Close the borders to the migrants ‘cos all they do is scrounge
Be seen as European, but for God’s sake save the pound
Close every single library, ‘cos no-one needs to read
Lest we educate the masses and they take to the streets
But keep the fighter jets on standby, nuclear capability
Cos if your ratings drop then only a good war can set you free
When everybody hates you, that’s how to be a statesman, please
Put on a suit, do up your tie and sing God Save The Queen
To all newspapers, my friends in higher places
Don’t panic, ‘cos the tax breaks are never gonna stop
My darling media, don’t bite the hand that feeds ya
And that’s my little tip, to get to the top
We only discovered this great band from Boise, Idaho this year and have spent the last few months gleefully catching up on all their releases. You would be well advised to do the same. My Little Owl Records
Kirsty headlined our very first My Little Owl Presents... gig in Sheffield. She is breathtakingly talented and featured on the soundtrack of Danny Boyle's film Trance. My Little Owl Records
Helen is headlining our next My Little Owl presents... gig in Sheffield on November 16th 2013. She plays lovely, quirky, slightly jazzy, sometimes a bit folky pop songs. My Little Owl Records
supported by 48 fans who also own “Big Man On Campus”
This might be my favorite thing Daniel has ever recorded. I shared the story part with my children, who also absolutely loved it. The songs are great too. alex79uk
