“Get a proper suit and straighten your tie”, says the Tory politician…..footballers with short back ‘n sides and baggy shorts ….. flat caps in fashion…..right-wing parties on the rise across Europe – remind you of anything?
lyrics
Back to the Thirties
They say the past is another land
And that sentiment I well understand
When looking at the troubles of today
One simply wants to try to get away
So….!
Let’s go back to the thirties
Everybody’s shirty
Nobody gives a damn
Children in the street, playing in bare feet
Kitchens smelling of cabbage and ham
Let’s go back to the thirties
Everybody’s dirty
Noone even has a shower
Smog in the street, coal burned for heat
Fascists everywhere in power
Get your haircut - short back and sides
Put a suit on and straighten your tie
Get off the dole you skiver
So what your wage ain’t even a fiver
Back ramrod straight
Get to work and don’t be late
Let’s go back to the thirties
Everybody’s shirty
Your wages have been cut
Wearing baggy trousers – yes we need more houses,
Another firm just got shut
Let’s go back to the thirties
Everybody’s dirty
Hair cut with a pudding bowl
The people down the lane come from Russia, Germany and Spain
Plus the occasional Pole
Get your haircut - short back and sides
Put a suit on and straighten your tie
Get off the dole you skiver
So what your wage ain’t even a fiver
Back ramrod straight
Get to work and don’t be late
