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'
