Tony Blair

from Downside Up (2020) by Insane Society

about

The album was finished, artwork completed and ready to be pressed when on that joyous Thursday, when Blair resigned. I was inspired to write this short song which was recorded the very next day with Sheldon learning the words as we worked.
Thankfully time has seen Blair universally condemned by both left and right movements.

lyrics

I've just received good news today,
found out Blair was on his way,
he quit his job and leaving town,
making way for Gordon Brown.

No more Blair, no more Blair,
who said things in life ain't fair?
No more Blair, no more Blair,
shake your fist if you don't care.

Ten long years, its been no fun,
but now Tony's on the run,
just in time to stop the rot,
If he was a dog he would have been shot.

No more Blair, no more Blair,
justice has been done I swear,
No more Blair, no more Blair,
shake your fist if you don't care.

Left wing? right wing? centre ground?
what goes up must soon come down,
he made mistakes like all men do,
don't disquise a red with blue.

No more Blair, no more Blair,
change your colours if you dare!
No more Blair, no more Blair,
shake your fist if you don't care.

The last time that I felt this good,
was the day when Maggie understood,
to win more votes you must stand down,
so raise your glass to Gordon Brown.

No more Blair, no more Blair,
they would've made a lovely pair,
No more Blair, no more Blair,
shake your fist if you don't care.
