I was bored on the train down to the protest meeting at Parliament square on Monday so sketched this out and finished it this morning, Well, it amused me.

KimPel Song (Tune,, Thousands or more)
By Micca

Life here in England has turned darker grey
Since Kim brought in an Act to drive music away
music away, music away, music away,
Since Kim brought in an Act to drive music away

So Now to the pub if you go to unwind
If there's no P-E-L leave your Music behind
Music behind, Music behind ,Music behind
If there's no P-E-L leave your Music behind

Altho' we're not a juke box or Big Screen TVs
An Unamplified voice needs more license than these
license than these, license than these, license than these,
An Unamplified voice needs more license than these

You can't sway to the sounds or beat time to the band
but its fine if you scream like your in a grandstand
in a grandstand, in a grandstand, in a grandstand,
but its fine if you scream like your in a grandstand

The old Law was crappy but better by far
But at least you could sing with just "2 in a bar"
"2 in a bar", "2 in a bar", "2 in a bar",
But at least you could sing with just "2 in a bar"

But soon with the new law it will be the norm
You can't sing or dance 'til they fill in the form
fill in the form, fill in the form, fill in the form,
You can't sing or dance 'til they fill in the form

We know local Jobsworths no Music allow
but a license will make us all "Safer" you know
Safer you know, Safer you know, Safer you know,
'Cos a license will make us all "Safer" you know

So take up your banners to keep music alive
If you want to see sessions and music survive
music survive, music survive, music survive
If you want to see sessions and music survive

So come Left–wing Muso's lets all get annoyed
Is it time to make Kim and his mates Unemployed?
mates Unemployed, mates Unemployed, mates Unemployed,
It is time to make Kim and his mates Unemployed

So come the elections don't sit on the fence
Local or National, we can all Vote against
all Vote against, all Vote against, all Vote against
If they don't support us, we can all Vote against
