The Disciple

I don't usually go in for politics much, I get too angry with the lot of them but sometimes you just can't help yourself, can you?

The Disciple

(With apologies to the Kinks)

Well, he’s a dedicated follower of Maggie.
He say’s he’s not,
But yes he is,
A dedicated follower of Maggie.

He came to save the people,
To scrub out greed and sleaze.
He wants to cut corruption
And wipe out me, me, me’s
And he speaks with clear sincerity
Our misgivings to appease,
And, people, do believe him
He only aims to please.
And while he goes about it
He’ll have the country on its knees
‘Cos he’s a dedicated follower of Maggie
He say’s he’s not,
But yes he is,
A dedicated follower of Maggie

He wants to look after us
And save the Welfare state,
But if we want some treatment
We’ll have to sit and wait.
He’ll stop us doing all the things
He’s truly come to hate.
He wants us all to love him
And tells us we’re all great.
But he’s not so nice to Gordon
Who’s supposed to be his mate.
‘Cos he’s a dedicated follower of Maggie
He say’s he’s not,
But yes he is,
A dedicated follower of Maggie

He says he is New Labour
And is coming from the Left
But he positively strains
The Party’s warp and weft.
He doesn’t have cohesion,
Of policy bereft,
But he is the country’s Conman
And his sleight if hand is deft
When he borrows from the Tories.
Or is it down right theft?
Yes, he’s a dedicated follower of Maggie etc.
He say’s he’s not,
But yes he is,
A dedicated follower of Maggie
