Yesterday In Parliament Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

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).
