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
It gave us 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 can help lay her in the ground
And if you're a miner, you could get work digging her out
Makes for a great Blitz spirit, whichever side you're from
So let's lay Maggie under the soil every wednesday from now on

We could change the method weekly to keep everyone happy (Woah-oh-oh)
We could take a boat out to the Falklands and try burying her at sea (Woah-oh-oh)
We could burn her, then freeze her, then stuff her or something and when we're finally done (Woah-oh-oh)
We could get NASA to sponsor her and then fire her into the Sun

She'll bring us together in death when in life she never did
She said there was no such thing as society, well turns out there is
We just need a divisive death to be on to winning streak
So come on let's bury Thatcher every week

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
Like Apollo 13 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 might 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
Every minute every hour every day
Wha uh? Whuh?
We'll bury Thatcher

I'm glad you came with me on the Lady Diana gag
Don't worry pretty soon I'll change it to Prince Philip
Oh that;s where you draw the line?
Yeah. Yeah. He's our Mandela. Idiots.

We'll bury Thatcher every week.
