wrote most of this sometime around 1981 in response to the coming of margaret thatcher. i had the same feeling recently so i dusted it off, added a few bits and here it is, forty years later. plus ça change.
lyrics
new regime
we wake to the dream
of new regime
it’s been a long goodbye
and now it’s over
can’t play the dove
any longer
we wake to the dream
of new regime
