Thatcher / New Labour (Guildford Walk​-​Outs)

from Eat The Poor (Live) by Jonny & The Baptists

/

lyrics

It was the biggest event of 2013, we were all in it together
All we needed was some pageantry, no matter what the weather
We needed something to be excited about, now Britain’s got so bleak
So why can’t we bury Thatcher every week?

If you're a fan of her legacy you could help lay her in the ground
And If you're a miner you could get work digging her out
We just need a divisive death, to be onto a winning streak
So come on let’s bury Thatcher every week

We could change the method weekly to keep everyone happy
We could take a boat out to the Falklands and try burying her at sea
We could burn her then freeze her then stuff her or something, & when we’re finally done
We could get NASA to sponsor her and then fire her into the sun.

I don't want it to end I don't want it to end
It's like the Olympics all over again
I don’t want it to end I don’t want it to end
It’s like Apollo thirteen multiplied by Ten / That’s Apollo one hundred and thirty
I don’t want it to end I don’t want it to end
It's the perfect clash of anger and pride
We haven't had this much fun since Lady Diana died.

So let’s bury Margaret Thatcher fifty-two times every year
And all of Britain’s problems will dissolve and disappear
It may seem a little morbid but if we had our way
We would bury Margaret Thatcher...every
every, every
every
every single day
Let’s bury Thatcher
Ha-juh, whuh? Oh-oh.

Let's bury Thatcher every week.
