You Won’t Get Me, I’m Part of New Labour

‘You Won’t Get Me, I’m Part of New Labour,’ sung by Gordon Brown,
To the tune of ‘Part of the Union, by The Strawbs’ (Listen to the original via Muxtape)

And here’s the lyrics if you want to sing along…

Now I’m a New Labour man
Amazed at what I am
I say what I think, that the Tories stink
Yes I’m a New Labour man

When we meet in the Cabinet
They’ll vote because of my threats
With a hell of a shout, it’s “Never vote me out!”
Or you’ll be blamed when the party falls

Oh, you don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
You don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
You don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
The Welsh Assembly lies
And Devolution will rise

New Labour has made me wise
To the lies of the YouGov spies
And I don’t get fooled by common sense rules
’cause I read between the lines

And I always get my way
Nobody asks for higher pay
When terror seems to call, thanks to Scotland Yard
This is what I will say:

Oh, you don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
You don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
You don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
The Welsh Assembly lies
And Devolution will rise

Before New Labour did appear
My goal was never as clear
Now I’ve got the power while my vision turned sour
And it won’t last another year

So though I’m a New Labour man
I did ruin Tony’s little plan
And though I’m all guile, just once in a while
I think I might just survive

Oh, oh, oh, you don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
You don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
You don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
The Welsh Assembly lies
And Devolution will rise

Oh You’ve still got me, I’m part of New Labour
You’ve still got me, I’m part of New Labour
You’ve still got me, I’m part of New Labour
The party that always lies
But truth will always survive
