about

Inspired by Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty, this song talks of the hard realities of Brexit rather than the unicorns of our Government.

lyrics

Winding your way down on Brexit Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything

This killer Brexit makes you feel so cold
It's fooled so many people, and it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it gave everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say Brexit was so easy
But you're crying, you're crying now

Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're dying, you're dying now

Down Brexit Street there's no food on your plate
NHS closed its doors, and the doctor says wait
The Police ask you where you've been
You tell them who you've seen
You’ll say just about anything

You had this dream ‘bout a sovereign land
Now you’re scared of the cops and the far-right fans
Now the factory’s shut down
And your neighbours are still brown
And you were wrong about everything

But you know you'll always keep hating
You know you’re never gonna stop hating
'Cause you’re reading, you’re believing The Mail
And when you wake up, The Express is calling
The Sun is lying and the streets are brawling
And you're going, you're going to hell
