The Old School Tie

Peter Hammill

Composição de: Peter Hammill
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.
