It's Me They Blame (Naturally)
(Original song: Alone Again (Naturally) by Gilbert O'Sullivan)

In a year or so
Or so the rumours go
On election night, it’ll be alright
With Gordon running the show
My reputations shot, they say I’ve lost the plot
They want to stick it to the only person who
Could ever get labour elected
When they see my grin, I will win
I’m undefeated
I know the way to turn the polls
Why fix what isn’t broken
Things are looking grim
They don’t think we will win
It’s me they blame, naturally

To think that over the years
My conscience was all clear
Looking forward to, with you know who
The glory and the cheers
To blow Saddam away
With Qusay and Uday
But along with them, we’re losing men
And the daily toll increases
Leaving me to doubt how they’ll win this fight without me
They say this war has been in vain
They sneer and talk about me
Guess who takes the flack
For the handling of Iraq
It’s me they blame, naturally

It seems to me that there’s a bloke
Who’s out there in the world that can’t be trusted
An utter bastard
It’s Gordon Brown, it’s Gordon Brown

INSTRUMENTAL

It’s me they blame, naturally

There was a time last year
I felt quite sick with fear
I remember I tried when Kelly died
To keep us in the clear
They said I was corrupt
But Hutton backed me up
I don’t understand why that selfish man
Would kill himself to harm me
Leading some to say that I may have been misleading
Despite assurances from me
They say that I’m deceiving
No matter what I say
It happens every day
It’s me they blame, naturally
