Clifford T. Ward - Yesterday In Parliament Lyrics

Yesterday in parliament

You got the honourable this

The honourable that, and

Nothin' so eloquent

As a little bit of mis-

Understanding, and a lot of chat

Something you wanna say?

Don't address it to me

You gotta see your MP

He's gonna to take up your case today

Do civilised people always act this way?



Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.



Oh yesterday in parliament

We got shoutin' down the front

And shoutin' up the back an'

Come on gentlemen, settle down at the front

Sit down at the back

' There's something you wanna say?

Well address it to the House in the usual way

I know you want to have some fun

But civilised people ought to get things done.



Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.



Blame Jesus for all the trouble in the world today

Blame anybody you like

But don't blame the government of the day.



Oh yesterday in parliament

We got rhetoric elective, a little bit of cynicism

Nothing heaven sent

Just a mere hint of socialism, lotta conservatism

' Nothing I wanna say

To make any changes let's keep it this way

There's nowhere I wanna go

I'm enjoying my breakfast and this radio show.



Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha.



INSTRUMENTAL



There's nothing I wanna say

To make any changes let's keep it this way

There's nowhere else I wanna go

I'm enjoying my breakfast and this radio show.



Ha ha , ha ha, ha ha, ha ha

da da da, da da da da da

da da da, da da da da

da da da, da da da da da

(and fade).
