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
Makes for a great Blitz spirit - whichever side you're on
So let's lay Maggie under the soil every Wednesday from now on

We could change the method weekly to keep everyone happy
We could take a boat out to the Falklands and bury 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.

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 a 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
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 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
We'll bury Thatcher

We're sorry about the lady Diana bit
Don't worry pretty soon we'll change it to Prince Philip

Let's bury Thatcher every week.
