Is this the real life?
Or political fantasy?
Caught by a pension!
No escape there financially.
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a rich boy, i need more sympathy-
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
A little high, little low,
Any Council I rule, doesn't really matter to me,
To me
Mama, I just lost my job,
They put a p45 on my desk,
I got the pencil with no lead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Kirkby, oooh ooh ooh ooh
Didn't mean to make you bankrupt-
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on, carry on, as if accontability really matters-
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-I've got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the Sonae wind blows)
I don't want to lose my job,
I sometimes wish I'd never been to Kirkby at all-
I see a sneaky silhouetto of a man,
Jimmy Keight, Jimmy Keight will you build the sonae chimney
pollution and dustpiles-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But I'm just a rich boy, the middle class loves me-
He's just a rich boy from a well off family-
Spare him his life from this Scouse monstrosity-
Easy come, easy go-,will you let the Henshaw go?
Dave Henshaw Yo-,we will gladly let you go-let him go-
Dave Henshaw Yo -, we will gladly let you go-let him go
Dave Henshaw Yo -we would like to let you go-let me go
We will let you go -let me stay
We will let you go - let me stay
No,no,no,no,no,no, pi** off-
Mama Mia, fabuck aboff ,singing backslang,(1) let him go-
Beelzebub has a pension put aside for he,for he,for he-
So you think you can sack me and spit in my eye
So you take away my pension and leave me to cry
Oh hey la -can't do this to me la-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,
Any way the wind blows....
1 Backslang pronounced Back Slang: Method of communication using a variety of
usages of various letter changes and pronunciations to make the spoken word
undetectable to those not versed in the usage of that particular version of
back slang. Thought to come from sailors and workers who wished to talk
whilst not alerting the boss or jobsworths as to the topic of
conversation. Was used by kids to amuse themselves and to give
them a decided advantage in swearing in front of parents to
impress peer group ect. We could have learned French, or Spanish,
or Chinese, but we're stuck with backslang. Also known as a 'robbers language'
or one used by prisoners. It is still used today in Liverpool, mostly
for amusement. The police will have a few old hands in the ranks who
might be able to reel off backslang.
