I met her on the picket line/she was talking to a friend of mine/I said baby now what's the time/time for action was her reply/at the demo I saw her again/she was listening to Tony Benn/I said baby can I buy you dinner/she said no I wanna stay to hear Dennis Skinner/she wants to stage a sit in/she wants to storm the building/she wants to stop the city/my God she's so pretty/thought she was the one for me/but it's such a tragedy/my heart's been broken again/cos she's a lesbian/oh no she's a lesbian

I wanna live in a council house/I'm no better than anyone else/I think they should build some more/they could make them nice now I am sure/I wanna sense of community/working class solidarity/someone else to do the repairs/and fit a carpet up the stairs/I don't want the right to buy/just somewhere to live warm and dry/I'm no better than anyone else/I wanna live in a council house

If you'd asked me in 1981 would clause 4 ever be abandoned/I'd say no no no no no not in a million years/if you'd asked me in 1983 was the manifesto the longest suicide note in history/I'd say no no no no no not in a million years/and if you'd asked me in 1984 would the Labour party ever lead us into war/I'd say no no no no no not in a million years/if you'd asked me in 1985 would the Labour party ever privatise/I'd say no no no no no not in a million years/I guess it goes to show politicians can't be trusted/when they get elected they throw their promises in the dustbin/so if you ask me in 2009 would I ever vote Labour again in my life/ I'd say no no no no no not in a million years/not in a million years

Shoot the police shoot the police/shoot the police on your mobile phones/when they're cracking heads and breaking bones/

I'm getting paranoid about the summer of rage/maybe they've planned it all along/remember the phrase was first used by a policeman/now it's becoming a self fulfilling prediction/you know those sirens that you heard this morning/there was no emergency the police were just practising/just like the gulf wars and the twin towers/maybe it's all been planned by higher powers/remember how they started the miners strike/maybe we should listen to David Ike/or is he just a plant by the government/specifically designed to throw us off the scent/mankind never landed on the moon/in 2012 comes the planet of doom/I'm getting paranoid I'm getting paranoid I'm getting paranoid
