The Old School Tie (2006 Digital Remaster) 歌詞
The Old School Tie (2006 Digital Remaster) - 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
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
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
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
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
Safe home in politics
Safe home in politics
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
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 safe home in politics
A cusky job 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
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
A safe home in politics
