lyrics

Austerity? Child poverty? No community, everywhere you see
Such misery, hostility, our anxiety that breeds uncertainty
Poor worker's rights, just gangs at night with no respect or fear for all we once held dear
Who'll fund the police to stop the the thief, and who can cure what's really underneath?


On and on and on it goes
On and on and on we groan
How could you believe the lie they sold?
On and on and on; new lows
Best foot first; just bear the load
How much more until it all explodes?

All the average ordinary people, stuck in a deep hole
They thought they'd never fail
Calling out career politicians, appalling decisions
You know it's us you've failed
You know it's us you've failed.


When food banks use is on the rise,
Care home abuse don't raise an eye,
And doctors now don't have the time to care,
The elderly can freeze to death,
Our kids depressed with endless tests,
Big businesses aren't made to pay their share

On and on and on it goes
On and on and on we groan
How could you believe the lie they sold?
On and on and on; new lows
Best foot first; just bear the load
How much more until it all explodes?

All the average ordinary people
Stuck in a deep hole
They thought they'd never fail
Calling out career politicians
Appalling decisions
You know it's us you've failed
You know it's us you've failed.

We're in this together,
Move forward together
We're strong and we're stable
Unleash our potential

New Dolly image

New Dolly Salford, UK

‘New Dolly’ are wife and husband songwriting duo, Morag and Ian Peacock.
After years of unsuccessful songwriting sessions (they usually ended in a row!), the couple managed to set aside their musical differences (She hates The Beatles, he thinks her adoration of The Longpigs is over the top...) to write and record an album.
It's been a year of (surprisingly!) enjoyable composing and producing. ... more
