seagullad - overtime (a thatcher rap) lyrics

[intro: thatcher]

ladies and gentlemen
eleven and a half wonderful years and we’re very happy
it’s been a tremendous privilege to serve this country as prime minister

[intro]

yo, this is the story of margaret thatcher
she just won the 1987 election
things are looking up
william whitelaw resigns
leaving her with lawson and howe
we grow tired of her leadership
is she losing touch with her party?
has her reign ended? will she resign?
this is the story of thatcher’s decline

[chorus]

coming through, coming through, coming through now
coming through, coming through, coming through now
gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose howe
what’s she working?
overtime!
coming through, coming through, coming through now
coming through, coming through, coming through now
gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose howe
she’s in office?
overtime!

[verse 1]

showin’ drive to save the nation
reforms to healthcare and education
schools and hospitals crumbling
while she’s privatising water and electricity
lawson’s budget of ’88
reducing income tax and interest rates
this cause inflation so to counteract this
they raise interest rates, it’s a buzz of badness
boom!
jacques dolores talks economic union
oh!
parliamentary sovereignty must go
what?!
thatcher gives speech suggesting intrusion
d+mn!
foreign secretary howe is thinking
“oh no!”
[chorus]

coming through, coming through, coming through now
coming through, coming through, coming through now
gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose howe
what’s she working?
overtime!

coming through, coming through, coming through now
coming through, coming through, coming through now
gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose howe
she’s in office?
overtime!

[verse 2]

thatcher is pressured by howe and lawson
into accepting, in madrid, the erm
she felt this really wasn’t awesome
she demoted howe to deputy pm
patronising as attention’s rising
losing party faith and lawson’s resigning?!
thatchers’s passing a new tax policy
through a millitant (battle) tendency
poll tax!
’89 it’s introduced to scotland
boom!
will her flagship save the day?
no!
you can’t complain, you know it wasn’t not planned
oh!
snp is saying, “can’t pay, won’t pay.”
[verse 3]

the country is in disarray
england objects to the poll tax
there’s already riots
thatcher’s thinking, “why don’t they like it?”
what’s thatcher going to do?
her path is the only path she can take
yeah she knows it’s chosen
the poll tax leads to the greatest protests since the miner’s strike
but she won’t let the haters get to her
because it’s in the chaos she grows in

[verse 4]

with her own country to command
she gives the poll tax to england
unsurprisingly there’s uproar
demonstrations, riots, and more
the biggest is in trafalgar square
with 100k people rioting there
the party is regretting this tax collection
they lose a safe seat in a by election
thatcher goes back on the madrid agreement
here hate for the european union’s vehement
she’s convinced to join the erm of major
was it too late, will the party save her
howe unexpectedly resigns in november
the party is starting to see her decline
he delivers a speech, a real career ender
heseltine resigns, thatcher resigns

[chorus]

coming through, coming through, coming through now
coming through, coming through, coming through now
gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose howe
what’s she working?
overtime!

coming through, coming through, coming through now
coming through, coming through, coming through now
gonna lose, gonna lose, gonna lose howe
she’s in office?
overtime!
