Fascinating Aida
Socialist Britain (2020)
[Dillie]
Over the rainbow, somewhere
There's a magical land
Where life's a bit fairer for everyone
And we all lend a helping hand
I'm not hoping for some unreal Garden of Eden
But surely we could be...a bit more like Sweden?
Socialist Britain, Socialist Britain
When shall I see thee again
When the government's seen beyond doubt to be green
And fiscal competence can be humane
Socialist Britain, Socialist Britain
Perhaps a utopian goal
Where the helpless are heeded, and food banks aren't needed
But Momentum are not in control
Where people who've lived here for years aren't deported
[Dillie & Adèle]
And the sick and disabled are fully supported
[Dillie, Adèle and Liza]
No universal credit causing harm and distress
No Americans buying our beloved NHS
[All]
Socialist Britain, where folk aren't hard-bitten
From thinking life ain't worth a dime
Housing quotas are met and there's no student debt
And renationalised trains run on time
Where Uber and Apple are properly taxed
And the charity status of posh schools is axed
Where cabinet ministers are held in esteem
And Jacob Rees-Mogg was just a bad dream
Socialist Britain, oh, shall it be written
That our striving must all end in tears?
Thou art so far away, and yet you must stay
Just a dream for another five years
