Peter Hammill - The Old School Tie lyrics
Oh the bright young man in the tight-buttoned suit the light beams out from capped smiles to the shines on their lick-spittle books Oh these sharp young sparks with their fresh rosettes Yeh, the artful ways that they promise the earth to all suffragettes - What they won't promise we don't know yet. They say they're build - and shaping society but we know they're just saving for their own Safe home in politics Anything goes: look at them run. Come from every side, noses Pinocchio clean; Lock in synchromesh, oil the wheels and the gears of the party machine. And the final goal is a cabinet seat... in the trappings of power, the presumption to speak for the man in the street. Once they move in, they're in for good; Yeh, once they get that bed made it's a safe home in politics. Jobs for the boys: look at them run. There's just one thing none of us should forget: a political man is just in it for the power and the smell of sucess. Sure, some start out as idealists - pretty soon they all cop for ideal careers and a safe home in politics, a cusky job in politics; look at them run. The politicians fight it out on the couning tower but they all agree not to rock the boat. A safe home in politics It's built on your vote |
