margaret thatcher - tramp the dirt down - elvis costello

noticed this song was not on you tube anywhere so i tried to add it.
i ran out of pictures of the evil one to add to the end of the song before i vomited.
this was also my first attempt at using windows moviemaker.
----------------------------------
I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign
A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain
She spills with compassion, as that young child's
face in her hands she grips
Can you imagine all that greed and avarice
coming down on that child's lips

Well I hope I don't die too soon
I pray the Lord my soul to save
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live
long enough to savour
That's when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down

When England was the whore of the world
Margaret was her madam
And the future looked as bright and as clear as
the black tarmacadam
Well I hope that she sleeps well at night, isn't
haunted by every tiny detail
'cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
all she thought of was betrayal

And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father who just squeezed the life from his
only son
And how it's only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt
Try telling me she isn't angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment
And then expect you to say "Thank you" straighten up, look proud and pleased
Because you've only got the symptoms, you haven't got the whole disease
Just like a schoolboy, whose head's like a tin-can
filled up with dreams then poured down the drain
Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and
maimed
Who takes all the glory and none of the shame

Well I hope you live long now, I pray the Lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
but when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down

"our revenge will be the laughter of our children."

the irish hunger strike of 1981 is all i have to say about this excuse for a human being.

[simonneilscanlan]

Give the witch a state funeral they're saying now...... Fuck that! Have a street party more like. Looking forward to dancing on her grave.

:)

What history are they teaching now, Thatcher should be hung drawn and quartered, what is it with 17-24 year olds and their belief that Thatcher was great,she raped, pillaged and destroyed. Should be ranked with Hitler, she tried to sanitise the working classes and gave away state property, to line the nest.

Its nice to know we are all being screwed again by the very things she gave away, still they make a fat profit. Hit the bastards with windfall tax and the shareholders as well

[407965STEVO]

Don't know about anyone else, But I will be having a great big party when our Lord takes her from this Earth. And throws her straight into the fire of Hell.

@ferrethaslanded How about taking back the assets, reclaiming them for the citizenry?

[douglaz74]

Didn't she and Reagan deregulate the financial industry allowing the greedy pigs

to steal people's money. Thatcher and Reagan's Free Market included destroying

the carefully constructed laws to prevent a financial crisis. Since 2008, we have

seen what Thatcherism and Reaganism has brought us- another depression

I hope Elvis Costello chokes on a shit sandwich and dies. He's been washed up since his first three albums anyway.

[xXXXDeathByFartsXXXx]

BOOBS!

You mean the 10 murderers, bombers and thieves don't you? But that doesn't matter to you Celtic cunts does it, because they were 'political' murders, bombing and robberies. They chose to starve themselves to death. That was a choice they never extended to the victims of their brutality.

[MrDavidtompkins]

Elvis Costello did really bad out of Thatcherism didn't he? The eighties were awful to him, werent they? Well, after his one hit 'Oliver's Army' they probably were.

@403766

by creating 2 million jobs, are you including the hundreds of thousands of people she moved from dole money to disability money? you know the ones I mean? yes, thats right, the ones that are a big part of our problems now. She sold off our publicly owned energy/communications/transpor­t services (hows your gas bill looking?) She introduced an open and easily abused expenses system to 'top up' MPs pay.

THE BEST ECONOMIC POLICIES EVER?study harder, now go to the back of the class!

[lmizuki5]

so emotive - yes she was a cunt but then all of them are - dont delude yourselves that she's the only one and certainly dont listen to some racist's song which is true torture to listen to - costello is the one who should have been shot in 1979 not thatcher

[MyDemon321]

Margaret Thatcher - the worst prime minster we have have EVER had, and the foulest and most pathetic excuse for a woman who was ever shat into existence.

May she rot in in the deepest depths of Hell for all eternity.

It would be no less than she richly deserves.
