Lyr Add: Song for Mandy ( Peter Mandelson)

Following Peter Mandelson's departure from the government I just couldn't resist revisiting Manilow's old hit. Uk politics are usually quite boring so this makes a nice change.

Song for Mandy
I remember Mandelson, back when he was number one
The politician fine, the socialist's saviour
Spinning his magic and inventing New Labour
(Chorus)
Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave us New Labour
Now they've sent you away
Oh Mandy, It's so sad when you fall out of favour
They don't need you today
Oh Mandy.

Moved to expensive home, took charge of the Millennium Dome
Had to raise some cash just to stay a contender
Now they're calling you a liar
'Cause you forgot to remember
(Repeat chorus)

Now they've given you the sack, former friends all turn their back
Thinking back to gayer days as the office you lock up
This was one time in your life
You didn't need another cock-up
(Repeat chorus - key change on last line to coda)
All those media hacks want to slay you
Oh Mandy
Did you really think Tony would save you?
He don't need you……
Oh Mandy

(Based on the song "Mandy" by S. English & R. Kerr)

Well Iv'e got a question-Having heard Stanley Accrington sing a similar song with not dis-similar lyrics on Friday last week. Is Ivan, he, Sir Stan pretending to be some one else?

Very poor taste to get at a man when he's down---I love it!
