[00:00:00] The Old School Tie (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:07] Oh the bright young man

[00:00:11] In the tight-buttoned suit

[00:00:14] The light beams out from

[00:00:17] Capped smiles to the shines

[00:00:18] On their lick-spittle books

[00:00:22] On their lick-spittle books

[00:00:26] Oh these sharp young sparks

[00:00:30] With their fresh rosettes

[00:00:34] Yeh the artful ways that they

[00:00:36] Promise the earth

[00:00:38] To all suffragettes -

[00:00:40] What they won't promise we don't know yet

[00:00:46] They say they're build - and shaping society

[00:00:49] But we know they're just saving for their own

[00:00:54] Safe home in politics

[00:00:59] Safe home in politics

[00:01:05] Anything goes: look at them run

[00:01:13] Come from every side noses Pinocchio clean;

[00:01:19] Lock in synchromesh oil the wheels and the gears

[00:01:23] Of the party machine

[00:01:26] Of the party machine

[00:01:31] And the final goal is a cabinet seat

[00:01:38] In the trappings of power

[00:01:40] The presumption to speak

[00:01:42] For the man in the street

[00:01:46] For the man in the street

[00:01:51] Once they move in they're in for good;

[00:01:54] Yeh once they get that bed made it's a

[00:01:58] Safe home in politics

[00:02:03] Safe home in politics

[00:02:08] Safe home in politics

[00:02:14] Safe home in politics

[00:02:17] Jobs for the boys: look at them run

[00:03:14] There's just one thing none of us should forget:

[00:03:21] A political man is just in it for the power

[00:03:25] And the smell of sucess

[00:03:28] The power

[00:03:28] And the smell of sucess

[00:03:34] Sure some start out as idealists -

[00:03:36] Pretty soon they all cop for ideal careers and

[00:03:41] A safe home in politics

[00:03:46] A safe home in politics

[00:03:51] A cusky job in politics;

[00:03:56] A cusky job in politics;

[00:04:05] Look at them run

[00:04:09] The politicians fight it out on the couning tower

[00:04:13] But they all agree not to rock the boat

[00:04:17] A safe home in politics

[00:04:19] It's built on your vote

[00:04:20] A safe home in politics

[00:04:22] A safe home in politics

[00:04:25] A safe home in politics

[00:04:27] A safe home in politics

[00:04:30] A safe home in politics

[00:04:32] A safe home in politics

[00:04:35] A safe home in politics

[00:04:38] A safe home in politics

[00:04:41] A safe home in politics

[00:04:43] A safe home in politics

[00:04:46] A safe home in politics

[00:04:49] A safe home in politics

[00:04:52] A safe home in politics

[00:04:54] A safe home in politics

[00:04:57] A safe home in politics

[00:05:00] A safe home in politics
