WATCH: Family Band’s Adaptation of Bowie’s “Starman” Ribs Starmer

A family band has taken to campaigning in song, adapting David Bowie’s “Starman” into a teasing song about Sir Keir.  Sure to be a top hit this Autumn…

Full lyrics below:

 Labour now Looking good

 Didn’t know who Starmer was and his base was low He seemed bland on the radio Looked set for stayin’ down in All the polls – not a lotta cred Then the Tories did seem to fade Still had quite a slow voice and a careful turn of phrase There were some cliches That were vexing Corbynites

Keir Starmer’s waiting for his try He’d like to honour pledges But he might just change his mind Keir Starmer’s rating’s pretty high He’s worried that he’ll blow it So he fence-sits for a while To simply Let the Tories lose it SNP abuse it Get all the Lib-Dems’ MPs

 He’s had to claim somehow that he’ll stick to fiscal rules Hey, that’s far out, just don’t tax the private schools Each time on TV he’ll be bigging up his Dad made tools Stuck out in limbo he can’t be forthright He only sparkles when the glitter’s thrown on site Won’t insult Thatcher for he’s chasing the Centre Right

Keir Starmer’s waiting for his try He’s better than the others But the bar’s not very high!
