For Crying Out Loud

To the tune of Thinking Out Loud.  Apologies to Ed Sheeran and fans.

When things don't work like they used to before
And we can't get back on our feet
Will the party  remember my faithfulness 
Will your grants help us out of the mess 

 Cos comrades I've been voting you since 94

And comrades my heart  still falls as hard in 26

And I'm thinking 'bout how money

disappears in mysterious ways
Maybe at the scratch of a pen

Still I fall in love with you every polling day

And that's just the way that I am

So comrades now
Take me into³ your loving arms
Help me under the light of a thousand stars
Cos the power's gone out again
For crying out loud
We don't want to stay right where we are

When my teeth fall out and all my bones ache

And I can't remember my name
When I go to to the polls in a donkey cart, mm
You know I will still vote the same way

'Cause comrades your brand can never grow old, it's evergreen
Your slogans are forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how money disappears in mysterious ways

Some people say  it's a scam

You just keep on making the same mistakes
Knowing that we'll understand

So comrades now
Take me into³ your loving arms
Help me under the light of a thousand stars
Cos the power's gone out again
For crying out loud
We don't want to stay right where we are

So leaders now
Take me into your loving arms
Help me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh comrades, place your hand on my bank account 
For crying out loud
Comrades we can't stay just where we are

Oh comrades, we can't stay right where we are (maybe)
No, we can't stay right where we are
