The Lyrics
This is an alternative history song parody. What would happen if Harold Wilson had been in charge of the Iraq campaign?
PR rating going down, down
Backward voters treat me like a fool
But I’m the greatest in my glorious nation
Smearing me just ain’t cool
I pretty much destroyed the Taliban
Even if we lost a man… or two!
It could have happened to
Any leader, any leader on your TV screen
Anyone can be misinformed
Anyone can be deceived by false intelligence
The odd orphanage ceiling may somehow break
Because I made an honest mistake
A deeply honest mistake!
Anyone, I don’t care who
Say you will forgive
Even I am not infallible... much!
I don’t know why you won’t believe me
Silly old Labour dossier wasn’t fake
It just kind of gave me my biggest break
Yet even so I suppose I made an honest mistake
An achingly honest mistake!
My reign was quite exciting
A touch erratic, who’d dare to disagree?
But I was always the sensible leader
Because I sent my troops away from home
Some say the situation got a little out of hand
But at least I comprehensively destroyed the Taliban...!
An honest mistake
My critics lives, um, reputations mean nothing to me
(Nothing to me)
Every word I’ve ever said is true
Don’t want be ridiculed by you
Backward voters treat me like a fool
But I’m the greatest in my glorious nation
Smearing me just ain’t cool
I pretty much destroyed the Taliban
Even if we lost a man… or two!
It could have happened to
Any leader, any leader on your TV screen
Anyone can be misinformed
Anyone can be deceived by false intelligence
The odd orphanage ceiling may somehow break
Because I made an honest mistake
A deeply honest mistake!
Anyone, I don’t care who
Say you will forgive
Even I am not infallible... much!
I don’t know why you won’t believe me
Silly old Labour dossier wasn’t fake
It just kind of gave me my biggest break
Yet even so I suppose I made an honest mistake
An achingly honest mistake!
My reign was quite exciting
A touch erratic, who’d dare to disagree?
But I was always the sensible leader
Because I sent my troops away from home
Some say the situation got a little out of hand
But at least I comprehensively destroyed the Taliban...!
An honest mistake
My critics lives, um, reputations mean nothing to me
(Nothing to me)
Every word I’ve ever said is true
Don’t want be ridiculed by you
