Testo di 'Cocaine Socialism' di Pulp

I thought that you were joking
When you said: I want to see you
To discuss your contribution
To the future of our nations heart and soul
Six o'clock, my place, Whitehall

But I arrived just after seven
But you said: It doesn't matter
I understand your situation and your image I'm flattered
I'd just like to tell you
That I love all of your albums
Could you sign this for my daughter?
She's in hospital her name is Miriam
Now I'll get down to the gist
Do you want a line of this?
Are you a socialist?

I'm doing fine
Buzzing all the time
Just one hit
And I feel great
And I support
The welfare state

You must be a socialist because you're always off out on the piss
In your private members bar
Yes you are, you superstar
Well you sing about common people
And the misshapes and the misfits
So can you bring them to my party
Can you get them all to to sniff this?

All I'm really saying is
Come on and rock the vote for me
All I need is come on, roll up that note for me
The gist of all this is
Do you want hits or do you want misses?
Are you a socialist?
Socialist, socialist

You can be just what you want to be
Just as long as you don't try and compete with me
And we've waited such a long time for a chance to help our own kind
Please come on and tow the party line
You owe it to yourself
Don't think of anyone else
We promise we won't tell
We won't tell
We won't tell
