Cocaine Socialism

I thought that you were joking

When you said, "I want to see you

To discuss your contribution

To the future of our nation's heart and soul

6:00, my place, Whitehall"

But I arrived just after 7

But you said, "It doesn't matter"

"I understand your situation and your image and I'm flattered

I'd just like to tell you

That I love all of your albums

Could you sign this for my daughter?

She's in hospital, her name is Miriam

Now I'll get down to the gist

Do you want a line of this?

Are you a socialist?"

I'm doing fine

Buzzing all the time

Just one hit

And I feel great

And I support

The welfare state

You must be a socialist because you're always off out on the piss

In your private members bar

Yes, you are, you superstar

Well, you sing about common people

And the misshapes and the misfits

So can you bring them to my party?

Can you get them all to to sniff this?

All I'm really saying

Is come on and rock the vote for me

All I'm really saying is come on, roll up that note for me

The gist in all of this is

Do you want hits or do you want misses?

Are you a socialist? Yeah

Socialist, yeah, socialist, yeah

Oh yeah

You can be just what you want to be

Just as long as you don't try to compete with me

And we've waited such a long time for the chance to help our own kind, so now

Please come on and toe the party line

You owe it to yourself

Don't think of anybody else

And we promise we won't tell

No, we won't tell

We won't tell

No, we won't

No, we won't

No, we won't

No, we won't

No, we won't

No, we won't tell
