Dear Sirs
I set out below a song that I composed a few months ago, using the theme and
structure of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" for inspiration, and
having kept it to myself until the election date was announced.
Given that the references set out upon your site were a good source of
inspiration, I thought it may interest you to see how some of them have been
applied!
Regards
David C
WE DIDN'T VOTE FOR LABOUR
(inspired by Billy Joel: "We Didn't Start The Fire")
Spin doctors, pension raid, Cool Britannia, stealth tax, Lord Irvine's
wallpaper, Bernie Ecclestone
Sinn Fein in Number 10, Brown and Blair bickering, Alastair Campbell,
Geoffrey Robinson
European Social Chapter, bus lane on the M4, PEPs and TESSAs down the tubes,
Frank Field sacked
Clapham Common, Ron Davies, beef on the bone ban, dodgy mortgage finance,
Mandelson resigns
We didn't vote for Labour
All the spin and lying, it's so mortifying
We've been betrayed by Labour
We've been robbed and cheated, but we're not defeated
Cash from Richard Desmond, Welsh and Scottish Parliaments, stamp duty, Keith
Vaz, Mandelson returns
Cronies in the House of Lords, Red Ken congestion charge, House of Commons
sidelined, Millennium Dome
Mittal and Hindujas, Mandelson resigns again, fuel protests, foot and mouth,
contiguous cull
Prescott thumps a voter, Railtrack confiscated, Stephen Byers, Jo Moore,
burying bad news
We didn't vote for Labour...
Carole Caplin, Peter Foster, Cherie Blair's Bristol flats, crashing Queen
Mum's funeral, George Galloway
NHS databases, hospital superbugs, pension funds in turmoil, freebie
holidays
Access regulator, standards down, tuition fees, asylum seekers flooding in,
Beverley Hughes
Public sector non-jobs, prudence abandoned, pretty straight sort of guy,
telling yet another lie
We didn't vote for Labour...
Means testing pensioners, council tax increases, MPs' expenses, snouts in
the trough
Waiting lists, violent crime, feral kids, police pathetic, nanny visa fast
tracked, Blunkett takes the rap
Burglars running rampant, gypsies breaking planning laws, 45 minute claim,
David Kelly suicide
Lord Hutton whitewash, murder of the Black Watch, no weapons in Iraq - can
we have our money back?
We didn't vote for Labour...
Hunting ban, smacking ban, smoking's next, sterling too, nanny state,
targets, rampant regulation
Speed cameras, ID cards, Magna Carta torn to shreds, dumbing down, sexing
up, regional assemblies
EU constitution, Mandelson commissioner, taxes pouring down the drain, Brown
and Blair at war again
Socialism never died, Labour leaders always lied, look at the totality -
what's this party done for me?
We didn't vote for Labour...
