Song lyric : Leaving the Tories
by Jemma Hawtrey
Age Group: Adult
I’m leaving the Tories. (Tune: “Leaving the Haven”)
I’m leaving the Tories
The liars I’ve known
The battles with Unions
That nobody won
The grassroots are dwindling
And support hard to find
I’m leaving the Tories
I’ve made up my mind
Farewell to the right wing
My Heart it is sad
The Tories I’m leaving
To work for the Man
My father was Tory
And my grandfather too
My brother was boss of 20 companies, true
I worked hard at the shaftin’
Just as soon as I could
So leavin’ ain’t easy
The Blue’s in my blood
Farewell to the right wing
My Heart it is sad
The Tories I’m leaving
To work for the Man
I wont miss the old trouts though
I wish we'd never met
Good ole Anne Widdecombe, the scariest yet
Well, we laughed hard together
And played hard as well
Blaming young mothers
For our benefits hell
Farewell to the right wing
My Heart it is sad
The Tories I’m leaving
To work for the Man
So, I’ll work for New Labour
Tis a good job they say
Might actually win at the end of the day
Well the big-man pays better
And the mistress seems pleased
My wife she won’t touch me
Does she think I’m diseased?
Farewell to the right wing
My Heart it is sad
The Tories I’m leaving
To work for the Man

Author's Notes: Wes thu hal,
This one is a re-writing of one of my favourite irish ballad style songs that I first heard played in Colchester by a band called Muckle Flugga (you and me both)
Its one that I had forgotten about and I am not sure when I wrote it to be honest.
I hope you like it and as always please send me a mail with your ideas.
J xx
