I wasn't sure if it was Marx or Hitler that was in this year I hadn't been to Brighton for a while so it wasn't too clear So imagine my surprise when I opened my eyes To find it was the Liberals who were hip to sloganeer I'm out tonight and can't decide between Soviet hip or British pride So help me out, so help me out Backpool help me out, Scarborough pull me through So help me out They wore anamel badges of David Steel on their sleeves And nuclear power no thanks, not sure and yes please And their faces were two fold and their teeth they were gold And they wore their pinstripe suits with a rip at the knee
