He sings “I’d turn into a dog if I want to stay on Earth, and for daily street light, I’d choose Mrs Thatcher” and also “For no woman on Earth will ever be more count than her brother, except maybe Mrs Thatcher”.

what have we done maggie what have we done
what have we done to england
should we shout should we scream
“what happened to the post war dream?”
oh maggie maggie what have we done?

Paul,
