The Elephant In The room by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

One for the Newsfest inspired by this article https://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/britain-in-crisis-the-uk-faces-a-steep-climb-out-of-a-deep-hole-a-6b61dc6f-e33f-46f3-bd27-743364dd675c and how the british MSM ignores the impact of brexit, funny having to read a german paper to get the UK news lol. oh that and there is also a coronation to distract us. I'll be getting sent to the tower lol.

It is what it is.

No don't mention it
It might just go away
The elephant in the room
Is here to stay
There's other reasons
For all our many woes
So let's decorate them
In the emperor's new clothes
The lion and the unicorn
Have had their day
But now the elephant in the room
Is here to stay
We cut off our nose
Just to spite or face
But just can't accept
Whose to blame
So many causes
To all of our woes
But let's dress them up
In the emperor's new clothes
The lion and the unicorn
Have had their day
But now the elephant in the room
Is here to stay

Great backer, so well played and produced!

I read the article of Der Spiegel, I feel a bit sad...but you've written fine lyrics inspired by it.

Fine job, James!

Great song....I can't believe there isn't synth in there...the guitar is very atmospheric...lovely bass line holding it all together.........

Nice one, there is so much negative news floating about in the UK we are spoilt for choice.

That was an interesting article to read, but very depressing. Yeah It's all quite depressing in the uk at the moment. I think it's beyond repair, the recent governments are useless. It's ok if you're rich otherwise " I'm alright jack, sod you".

Great song and the lyrics really emphasise what's going on in that article.
Great reflective music and love your vocals.
