lyrics
I’m in a queue for train tickets the day after the election
And on the glass machine there’s something strange in my reflection
And I realize that it’s anger, brewing since the exit polls
A heady cocktail mix of sadness, desolation and dashed hopes
I turn round and see a couple that are holding hands and smiling
They look happy and content, like they have been for a while and
As they waltz on through the barrier, flashing their annual passes
I think “Don’t you care that last night you destroyed the working classes?”
‘Cos human rights are on the line. How can you seem completely fine?
The welfare state’s obliterated too.
You fell for right-wing propaganda, so wave goodbye to social handouts
Oh how the hell did this country turn blue?
Was it you? Was it you? The silent majority?
Was it you? Was it you? ‘Cos it truly wasn’t me.
Shame on you, I blame you, and if you’ve got a three-piece suit
It was probably you, it was you, it was you.
So in the café a barista serves a flat white to a guy
Who’s the antithesis of all the friends that I’ve accrued online
And based solely on his coffee choice and red-top tabloid paper
I think I know which box he crossed and his views on immigration
This government experiment, oh I thought that we would end this
‘Cos I believed my News Feed represented a consensus
I forgot about you people with small-town mentality
‘Cos mostly everyone I love and like in life agrees with me
The girl wearing the Versace dress, I bet you’d privatize the NHS
Anyone with their tie done up a bit too tight
You made me a judgmental bigot, but a briefcase makes you complicit
Oh the gloves are off, I’m ready for a fight
‘Cos the majority of you, from cashiers to shareholders
As the shelter doors close and there’s nowhere for the homeless
Still think that the poorest folk among us are all scroungers
Stuffing state handouts right down the front of our trousers
But though government began this unethical experiment
We’re the ones backing it, we’re the ones sharing it
What’s sympathy worth for the disenfranchised
Unless we open our hearts as well as our eyes?
So next time the plan is to engage more with my opposition
Win an argument with a stranger who doesn’t share my position
‘Cos unless I change a mind or two, it’s obvious to see
I’ll have to look at my reflection and say “It was me”
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
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
