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
