This is a Party Political Oddcast

Girobabies, “Overheard in the West-End”
Has became the de facto, sleepy, hollow and headless
Blessed men sit gestating their nest eggs
While the rest of society disappears round the S-Bend
Millionaire politicians surround themselves with Yes-men
Begging for scraps at the table and complementing their dress-sense
Marble-heart suits wouldn’t pass the bone and flesh test
Crooked back Proles watch the drones strike with their necks bent
Morning chaps, pass me ma handkerchief with the monograph
So I can wipe the stench of these poor people off ma hands
I’ll need these clothes taken to the laundromat
After holding that dirty-faced wean while signing autographs
1st world problems, people don’t know what I go through
My local Whole Foods doesn’t stock ma favourite brand of tofu
Electioneering has me in the wrong surroundings
Like at Thornton’s when that scabby pigeon flew into the chocolate fountain
Stop. What’s that strange sound? They’re shooting planes down
Bombs over Bathgate form in acid rainclouds
The coalition shot union action down in flames now
But global business plots can put the flames out at Grangemouth
I’m a political man, it’s never worth the fight
Standing up against the upper classes for ma worker’s rights
Fuel price hikes, panic-buying, orchestrating a gold mine
In their lifeline ma constituents don’t need pensions or overtime
4th most unequal nation in the equation
In the name of Odd, one nation under inflation
Flood gates are open, world power’s blood bathing
While I’m on vacation sun bathing, fine-dining and
Fund-raising
Taxation havens keep ma accountant afloat
I sleep on Egyptian cotton stuffed with mountains of dough
I’m just your friendly neighbourhood councillor folks
I hope come next election I can count on your vote

I hope I can count on your vote

I’ve been courting celebrity
Both my assistant and ma political opponents are bed with me
Public money pays for ma apartment in the med
And I keep cocaine hidden in a compartment in ma desk
I’m the candidate with integrity
I’ll reflect your rich social heritage
I’m the smiling face of progress on a campaign poster
I’m an honest John, trust me I’m the man you want to vote for
