Political song about the return of the Conservative Party to power.
lyrics
I could believe that there is life on Mars
And aliens abduct us while we’re driving in our cars
I could believe that Elvis lives in Spain
But I can’t believe we’ll have Tories back again
I could believe Santa brings all the Christmas toys
And Tooth Fairies leave 50 ps for gummy girls and boys
I could believe there’s a place called Balamory
(That's the story)
But I can’t believe there’s a place here for the Tories
I don’t want to be blue again
Why go through it again?
I don’t know about you. But I
I don’t want to be Blue
John Major and Thatcher in the glory Tory days
Said the poor could buy a council house
The rich could buy the railways
I could believe we never made a military error
And bombing Iraq with Shock and Awe’s how you
Win a War on Terror
Those weapons of mass destruction
They really were detectable
But I can’t believe that the Tories are electable.
I don’t want to be blue again
Why go through it again?
I don’t know about you.
It’s too bad to be true
‘Cos through and through I don’t want,
I don’t want to be Blue
