Hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
I'm a political man and I practice what I preach
So don't deny me baby, not while you're in my reach.

I support the left, tho' I'm leanin', leanin' to the right
I support the left, tho' I'm leanin' to the right
But I'm just not there when it's coming to a fight.

Hey now baby, get into my big black car

I wanna just show you what my politics are.

Hey, hey now baby, get into my big black car
Hey now baby, get into my big black car
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

I support the left, tho' I'm leanin'to the right
I support the left, tho' I'm leanin' to the right
But I'm just not there when, when it's coming to a fight.

Hey, hey, hey
I wanna just show you what my politics are.

Ernold Same awoke from the same dream in the same bed at the same time
Looked in the same mirror made the same frown
And felt the same way as he did every day
Then Ernold Same caught the same train at the same station
Sat in the same seat with the same nasty stain next to same old what's his name
On his way to the same place to do the same thing again and again and again
Poor old Ernold Same

Another bonus point to anyone who knows what this has got to do with this thread.

I find that the best response to any British political debate online is to post the following:

'I see Margaret Thatcher is in hospital. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.'

and just watch the fur fly...

Here we go. By the way, the link changes with each result so I'll keep posting this after every result.

I'm pretty sure I've done that test before, and although I feel like it's quite flawed, I wouldn't mind seeing how I compare to everyone else around here (though I think I know).
