‘You Won’t Get Me, I’m Part of New Labour,’ sung by Gordon Brown,<\/em><\/strong>
\nTo the tune of ‘Part of the Union, by The Strawbs’ (Listen to the original via Muxtape<\/a>)<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/object><\/div>\n

And here’s the lyrics if you want to sing along…<\/em><\/p>\n

Now I’m a New Labour man
\nAmazed at what I am
\nI say what I think, that the Tories stink
\nYes I’m a New Labour man<\/p>\n

When we meet in the Cabinet
\nThey’ll vote because of my threats
\nWith a hell of a shout, it’s “Never vote me out!”
\nOr you’ll be blamed when the party falls<\/p>\n

Oh, you don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nThe Welsh Assembly lies
\nAnd Devolution will rise <\/p>\n

New Labour has made me wise
\nTo the lies of the YouGov spies
\nAnd I don’t get fooled by common sense rules
\n’cause I read between the lines<\/p>\n

And I always get my way
\nNobody asks for higher pay
\nWhen terror seems to call, thanks to Scotland Yard
\nThis is what I will say:<\/p>\n

Oh, you don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nThe Welsh Assembly lies
\nAnd Devolution will rise <\/p>\n

Before New Labour did appear
\nMy goal was never as clear
\nNow I’ve got the power while my vision turned sour
\nAnd it won\u2019t last another year<\/p>\n

So though I’m a New Labour man
\nI did ruin Tony\u2019s little plan
\nAnd though I’m all guile, just once in a while
\nI think I might just survive<\/p>\n

Oh, oh, oh, you don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou don’t get me, I’m part of New Labour
\nThe Welsh Assembly lies
\nAnd Devolution will rise<\/p>\n

Oh You’ve still got me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou’ve still got me, I’m part of New Labour
\nYou’ve still got me, I’m part of New Labour
\nThe party that always lies
\nBut truth will always survive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
