14th U-Turn

Verse

You’re the pride of the party, the one who said things would change

You had a manifesto that looked quite wide in range

But now you’re sitting in the Cabinet, looking slightly blue

Because the promises you made in June are no longer true

You said the green investment was a "mission," not a "maybe"

But now you’re dropping billions like a frightened little baby!

Chorus

And you’re heading for your 14th U-turn

Your 14th U-turn

You’re spinning ‘round and ‘round

Until your feet don't touch the ground

Yeah, your 14th U-turn!

Verse

You used to talk of workers' rights and taxes on the few

But now you’re checking polls to see what the Daily Mail might do

You promised a reform of the Lords, a brand new way of life

But you’re backpedaling so fast, you’re causing internal strife

You said the water companies would finally pay the price

Now you’re playing nice and giving them some "friendly" advice!

Chorus

And you’re heading for your 14th U-turn

Your 14th U-turn

You’re spinning ‘round and ‘round

Until your feet don't touch the ground

Yeah, your 14th U-turn!

Bridge

When you were in the wilderness, your words were bold and clear

But power’s like a mirror, and you don’t like what’s in there

A pivot to the left, a shuffle to the right

You’re changing your position every Tuesday night!

Verse

On tuition fees and benefits, you said you’d take a stand

But now you’re drawing lines in some very shifting sand

You say it’s "fiscal prudence" or a "difficult decision"

But the voters are beginning to doubt your brand-new vision

Oh, who’s to blame this time? Is it the "black hole" in the vault?

Or is it just that "certainty" was never really your fault?

Chorus

And you’re heading for your 14th U-turn

Your 14th U-turn

You’re spinning ‘round and ‘round

Until your feet don't touch the ground

Yeah, your 14th U-turn!

Outro

On and on and on...

Wait, did you change your mind again?

Was that fifteen? Sixteen?

(Spoken) I can't keep up!
