I saw the flight to the right that Blair took new labour,
I saw the hypocrite greed as they wined and dined,
They were my party
And as they deceived me, I watched as they closed down our mine
My, my, my, Aneurin
Why, why, why, Aneurin
I could see , the party was no more for me
But here in the Valley, the Tories the devil you see
On polling day when my doubts cleared away, I was waiting,
I crossed my vote on the form and I thought of the poor,
Hain stood there laughing Ho Ho Ho
I felt the vote in my hand and he laughed no more
My, my, my, Aneurin
Why, why, why, Aneurin
As they failed to service our health,
And plundered our national wealth
Forgive me Aneurin I just cant
vote Labour no more
My, my, my, Aneurin
Why, why, why, Aneurin
So before, they start another just war
Forgive me Aneurin, I just cant vote Labour no more,
Forgive me Aneurin, I just cant vote Labour no more
There must be some anti Labour minstrels out there who can sing this on YouTube!
If memory serves right, Nye Bevan was not much of a nationalist??
ReplyDeleteDepends how you define nationalism.
ReplyDeleteNye opposed independence for Wales with a vengeance. But as a Monmouthshire man when the "Monmouth is in England" debate was at its height Nye was adamant that he was one of Monmouth's Welsh!
Bevan was an unlikely Welsh patriot even if he wasn't Welsh Nationalist per say!
I have been blogging for a couple of years, but I have never enjoyed it as much as this week - great fun.
ReplyDeleteps I see that there is a Karaoke session on the Friday night at Plaid Cymru's conference - now if anyone would like to copy the words above, and sing along, and someone else was to video it and place it on Youtube......
Alwyn, don't give up your day job....
ReplyDeleteWell I thought that was great. I really enjoyed it! Diolch yn fawr iawn.
