How he got where he is today, I haven’t got a clue
D
I didn’t vote for him & neither did you
E7
Papers all laugh at every racist thing he’ll do
D			A
We got the Boris Johnson Blues

He says Muslim women look like letterboxes
He’s a dirty old shagger, can’t control his cock
Even he don’t know how many kids he’s got
We got the Boris Johnson Blues
Chorus
D				A
We got the Boris Johnson Blues. We got the Boris Johnson Blues
D				E7
It looks more like 1933 each time I turn on the news
Time to take to the streets, time to organise
Time to talk to one another & put our differences aside
You’re either good or evil, it’s time to decide
We got the Boris Johnson Blues

His views on Black people outdated & vile
He calls them picaninnies with water melon smiles
He should maybe say sorry but that just ain’t his style
We got the Boris Johnson Blues

He don’t think gay people should be allowed to wed
Intolerance & Hatred is what he spreads
Calls them tank topped bum boys, instead
We got the Boris Johnson Blues

We got the Boris Johnson Blues. We got the Boris Johnson Blues
Hijacked the whole country when we were having a snooze
Can you really support the kind of horrible scrote
Who can take from his wallet a £50 note 
Burn it in the face of some homeless bloke
We got the Boris Johnson Blues

Instrumental

(Slow)
Please bear this in mind at the ballot box
When you step inside to place your cross
You have it in your power to make it stop
Yeah, it’s all up to you
A billionaire liar who like to get his leg over
Who’s trashed our democracy from Stornoway to Dover
Or principled man of peace & dedicated veg grower
Well I know which one I’ll choose

We got the Boris Johnson Blues, We got the Boris Johnson Blues
If it happened anywhere else in the world we’d call it a Right wing coup
Friends with the arms dealers, media & bankers
Closer to Trump than Ivana & Ivanka
Even lied to the  Queen,  what a thoroughly horrid person
We got the Boris Johnson Blues

Boris Johnson Blues

Written by  Bob Miller, arranged by John Diment

21 years

A love song for Annie Diment that covers my other great loves, Bristol Rovers and drugs. Childhood hero and local Glastonbury footballing legend, now chemist, Paul Randall (Punky) left Rovers (The Gas) in 1979, breaking many hearts as he moved to top flight Stoke City. 2 years later fans part funded his return causing tearful elation amongst young football mad kids across the west country. Well, this one at least.
This song compares that elation with that of being in love.

You don't need to be a Bristol Rovers or even a football fan to understand the song and it's established itself as a live favourite with pubs and small venues once more reverberating to his name being sung. Also features the voice of the late, great, Roger Malone.

When Punky Came Back To The Gas

A song to celebrate Bristol's diversity and the heroes of the Bristol Bus boycott as well as to rail against "hostile environments", anti immigrant bigotry and the Windrush scandal. All wrapped up in a delibertely  cuturally appropriated reggae tinged bounce. "Cheers Drive!" , for  those outside the West Country & Wales, is the only grammatically  correct way to thank your bus driver when alighting at your stop. Everyone does that - right?!

Cheers Drive!
