I thought that you were joking / When you said "I want to see you To discuss your contribution / To the future of our nations heart and soul Six oclock, my place, Whitehall" / Well I arrived just after seven But you said "It doesnt matter" / "I understand your situation And your image, and Im flattered / Oh and Id just like to tell you That I love all of your albums / Could you sign this for my daughter? Shes in hospital, her name is Miriam / Now get down to the gist: Do you want a line of this? / Are you a (sniff) / socialist?" "Doin fine, yeah! / Buzzin all the time / Just one hit / And I feel great And I support / The welfare state / Oh, you must be socialist Cos youre always off out on the piss / In your private members bar Oh yes you are / Yer superstar / Well you sing about common people And the mis-shapes and the misfits / So can you bring them to my party And get them all to sniff this? / And all Im really saying Is come on and rock the vote for me / All Im really saying Is come on roll up that note for me / The gist of all of this is Do you want hits or dyou want misses? / Are you a socialist, yeah Socialist, yeah / Socialist, yeah / Oh yeah" "Yeah, you can be just what you want to be Just as long as you dont try to compete with me And weve waited such a long time For the chance to help our own kind, so now Please come on and tow the party line / Oh you owe it to yourself Dont think of anybody else / And we promise we wont tell Oh we wont tell, and we wont sell" / No we wont / No we wont No we wont
