Never a Frown

Oh Mr Brown's a thief I think
He'd nick your fags and swipe your drink
Prepare your heart to further sink
He wants to be our leader
Grand master of the cure-all fix
Sees yearly his red box of tricks
Hold much less carrot and far more stick
He wants to be our leader
From stamp duty to VAT
It's serial stealth we all agree
Means more to pay for you and me
He wants to be our leader
You know it's gone beyond a joke
When once again he's pulling strokes
To mug you off and rob your folks
He wants to be our leader
Still Gordy eyes a move next door
Whilst Tony's on his goodbye tour
To heal the sick and feed the poor
He wants to be our leader
Tune up that prudent Scottish guile
Increase the spin, invent some style
Shake baby's hand and paint on smiles
He wants to be our leader
Cue nauseous pre election sight
As round him crowd old acolytes
To cough back up their tired soundbites
He wants to be our leader
'Spite interest rates and Bagdhad burns
From answers straight he'll twist and squirm
So close to that long-promised term
He wants to be our leader
A painless coup transfers the reins
Boasts nothing new yet talks of change
I think we're in for more of same
He's actually now our leader
