Donkey Jacket

They said it was the longest suicide note in history

and created Care in the Community.

 

They said it was disrespectful to wear a donkey jacket

and then they sold us shell suits.

 

They said that council houses were rubbish

and lots of people bought one.

 

They said there was an enemy within

and gave birth to New Labour.

 

They said there was no such thing as society

and so we all stopped in.

 

They said Gotcha

and we laughed.

A good reminder, Sid, of how far we've travelled ... or maybe wandered from the path.

Yes indeed, Sid! Enjoyed it!

We were warned of a Militant Tendency
That under the bed was a Red

Then created credit dependency
And led us to war instead.
