GUEST,jim bainbridge Lyr ADD: I'm Looking for a Job (Matt McGinn) (14) RE: Lyr Req: I'm Looking for a Job (Matt McGinn) 06 Oct 21


re the 'Westminster' verse, I added this verse to the original verses about 20 years ago, while running song sessions in Glentrool, Scotland. I thought it needed another verse & I'm sure Matt would have approved.

I put it on a CD 'Lights on the River' in 2004- the singer on youtube has it right although I've inflated the 50 grand up to 90 grand in the ensuing years!
I have heard a verse with a similar verse about Holyrood but don't know where that came from....

'I've travelled all around this land
I've found a job that pays 90 grand
I do no work and I pay no rent
See me, I'm a member of Parliament'
