Never Voted Tory

I first cast my vote aged 18 with naivety of youth
As I stepped into the polling station’s wooden polling booth
Seeking to vote tactically, I opted for Lib Dem
But they’re just yellow Tories, so I won’t do that again
I will confess to you right now, that I once voted green
Back when the Blairites and the Tories were equally obscene
And spent some time in Scotland, where I considered the SNP
But I’d sooner never vote at all than for corrupt Tories…
Chorus
Pretty sure they are the primary cause of all this nation’s ills
Just the thought of Tory government brings me out in chills
For our poor sick country, they’re the bitterest of pills
That’s why I’ve never voted Tory & I never ever will
Just like Aneurin Bevan my view of them is dim
I heartily concur that they are lower than vermin
Cos at least rat knows he’s a rat & everybody’s after him
But every disgraced Tory still denies they ever sinned
Just like Damian Green caught masturbating at the taxpayer’s expense
Teresa May protecting they accused of sex offense
Hancock & Hunt, they’ve got some front, dismantling the NHS
With Windrush kids still fearing deportation and arrest
Racist Boris Johnson the philandering buffoon
Trident over hospitals to assure our mutual doom
Decade of bust austerity, a country crying out for boom
If I never see another Tory, it’ll surely be too soon….
Chorus
Spoken
As we advance in years we all become more conservative I’m told
And Tory party conferences sure look pretty old
They belt out “land of hope & glory” trying to keep their dentures in
Their dynamic, energetic, septegenarian youth wing
Instead I’m more convinced than ever it’s the right thing to do
To try & get a government that works for me & you
Peace & social justice for the many not the few
So my cross is staying in the red, never straying into blue
Chorus
Pretty sure they are the primary cause of all this nation’s ills
Just the thought of Tory government brings me out in chills
For our poor sick country, they’re the bitterest of pills
That’s why I’ve never voted Tory & I never ever will
That’s why I’ve never voted Tory & I never ever , ever, ever, ever will

Confused and amazed about the different styles and the overload of lyrics, after my first full album sitdown. Struggeling to find the cohesion, but it will do for now. After a few listens..cd in hand too, starting to like it a lot. Anywhere i can find full lyrics? This must be amoré..my new favorite..italodisco meets dep mod

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
