Clifford T. Ward Today In Parliament Lyrics

Today in parliament
You' got the honourable this
And the honourable that
Nothin' so eloquent
As a little bit of mis-
Understanding and a lot of chat
Something you wanna say?
Don't address it to me
You gotta see your MP
He's gonna take up your case today
Do civilised people always act this way?

Today in parliament
You' got shoutin' down the front
And shoutin' at the back
Come on gentlemen, settle down at the front
Sit down at the back
Something you wanna say?
Address it to the House in the usual way
I know you want to have some fun
But civilised people ought to get things done. Blame Jesus for all the trouble in the world today
Blame anybody you like
But don't blame the government of the day.

Today in parliament
You get rhetoric elective, a little bit of cynicism
Nothing heaven sent
Just a mere hint of socialism, lotta conservatism
' Nothing I wanna say
Let's make a lot of changes and keep it this way
' No where else I wanna go
I'm enjoying myself, I run this radio show.

Neil Kinnock sums it up right
'You have to break eggs to make an omelette-ah!
But you don't have to drop the eggs on the floor.'
