Description :
noticed this song was not on you tube anywhere so i tried to add it.
i ran out of pictures of the evil one to add to the end of the song before i vomited.
this was also my first attempt at using windows moviemaker.
----------------------------------
I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign
A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain
She spills with compassion, as that young child's
face in her hands she grips
Can you imagine all that greed and avarice
coming down on that child's lips
Well I hope I don't die too soon
I pray the Lord my soul to save
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live
long enough to savour
That's when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down
When England was the whore of the world
Margaret was her madam
And the future looked as bright and as clear as
the black tarmacadam
Well I hope that she sleeps well at night, isn't
haunted by every tiny detail
'cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
all she thought of was betrayal
And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his
only son
And how it's only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt
Try telling me she isn't angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment
And then expect you to say "Thank you" straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because you've only got the symptoms, you haven't got the whole disease
Just like a schoolboy, whose head's like a tin-can
filled up with dreams then poured down the drain
Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and
maimed
Who takes all the glory and none of the shame
Well I hope you live long now, I pray the Lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
but when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down

moroseo, the base rate was NOT 26.7% before 1979. What are you talking about?
state funeral my arse , she should be stuffed in a wheelie bin and flung in the landfill when her days are over
no didnt mean to offend, if youre at the wake(party) ill get the first round lol
crikey, i got yer message last night on my phone and thought you were referring to me as a numb cnut, but now reading your post in context i can see you were agreeing with me and slagging moron off.
Moroseo is 19yrs old enough said!
moreso, are you a half whit, dont you understand youre living thatchers legacy, next time youre waiting for your train or bus that doesnt arrive think of your great lady, next time your utility bill goes up think of your great lady. live in reality, try scrape a living in a community like Easington, devastated by your great lady and then hail her. Let her do one good thing in her life, die!
I am disappointed that she has never been ripped apart by a pack of rabid mongrels.
That was under John major and not Thatcher and anyway before 1979 interest rates were at 26.7 so 15% is a damn site better than that. And labour have hardly helped public services have they, there are fewer rail lines and less trains running on time than there were in 1990, and i know that in my local area the bus times have been changed so much that knowone knows when there are and they are much less frequent and cost more than they did in 1990.
Its funny how the Ira missed! they were stupid!
it was that lot that deregulated the buses and trains and privatised energy suppliers you thick t*at...
