about

A protest waltz if you will - a comment on current events. I wrote it during the 2020 lockdown and it came to mind as I watched Prime Minister's Questions today so I added to the lyrics and recorded it this evening. 200 Free downloads available.

lyrics

Don’t know what you want us to do
Why can’t you make yourself clear?
So now we don’t listen to you
Saying nothing that we need to hear

Still think that we’re in your power?
Well, not as much as you’d expect
On top of your ivory tower
Untroubled by all you have wrecked

You like to think you’re an enigma
But we can see right through your gown
Punching down with shame and stigma
Just a brute in the suit of a clown

Your mess of deception and lies
Destroying lives day by day
Of course you don’t realise
It won’t always be that way

Those winds of change start to blow
Outside of your control
So, of course, you’ll never know
When it’s your time to go… Go… GO!

So you’ve lost your hold over us
There’s nothing more you need to say
No-one left to throw under the bus
If you come back we’ll make you pay

You like to think you’re an enigma
But we can see right through your gown
Punching down with shame and stigma
Just a brute in the suit of a clown

You like to think you’re an enigma
Just a brute in the suit of a clown
