Cocaine Socialism Lyrics - Pulp

I thought that you were joking 

When you said "I want to see you 

To discuss your contribution 

To the future of our nation's heart and soul 

Six o'clock, my place, Whitehall" 

Well I arrived just after seven 

But you said "It doesn't matter" 

"I understand your situation 

And your image, and I'm flattered 

Oh and I'd just like to tell you 

That I love all of your albums 

Could you sign this for my daughter? 

She's in hospital, her name is Miriam 

Now get down to the gist: do you want a line of this? 

Are you a socialist?"

"Now I'm doin' fine, yeah! 

Buzzin' all the time 

Just one hit and I feel great 

And I support the welfare state 

Oh, you must be socialist 

'Cos you're always off out on the piss 

In your private member's bar 

Oh yes you are 

Yer superstar" 

"Well you sing about common people 

And the mis-shapes and the misfits 

So can you bring them to my party 

And get them all to sniff this? 

And all I'm really saying 

Is come on and rock the vote for me 

All I'm really saying is come on roll up that note for me 

The gist of all of this is do you want hits or d'you want misses? 

Are you a socialist, yeah 

Socialist, yeah 

Socialist, yeah 

Oh yeah"

"You can be just what you want to be 

Just as long as you don't try to compete with me 

And we've waited such a long time 

For the chance to help our own kind, so now 

Please come on and tow the party line 

Oh you owe it to yourself 

Don't think of anybody else 

And we promise we won't tell 

Oh we won't tell, and we won't sell 

No we won't 

No we won't 

No we won't"
