Hi,

Here's a new one. Hopefully there will be more where this came from.

Change the Station
Words and Music by Ian Robertson ©28 September 2012

Verse 1
We do what's right but we forget the reason
We work, work, work but there's just no pleasing
We all feel different at the change of season

Chorus 1
You want to get married but you're just too gay
Our politician's tears only go one way
You can't tell them apart as you're led astray

Verse 2
We are smugly pleased with our place in society
You have to work hard for your notoriety
The tabloids tell us to worship sobriety

Chorus 2
Our values are won by the 3rd estate
You can be an individual if you pay your way
You can't get involved because it's on delay

Verse 3
Every one is hoping for integration
Our leaders make speeches to the United Nations
It's just a repeat so we change the station

Chorus 3
You sit near a mirror so you can watch your face
But it only doubles your total disgrace
You sweeten it with perfume but it leaves a trace

Verse 4
We were all brought up to tell the truth
But the US wants to put you in an orange suit
You want a hand but just got the boot

Chorus 4
You were front page news until the terms of trade
Pulled down your trousers and dropped the rate
You were the first one in but now you're shutting the gate

A dang catchy toon this, I.R. - almost an iron fist in a velvet glove, almost.
I doubt your message could ever be thought of as soothing?
Very well played and produced, and the double vox gives it depth. Well done.
