Guy Fawkes' Table

Tune: Original
Lyrics: Attila the Stockbroker
Composer: Attila the Stockbroker

In which we find the singer sitting at a table, said to have been used by Guy Fawkes, at the time of the Commons vote in favour of invading Iraq and thinking ‘Aneurin Bevan, your party is dead / And the time for a new one is nigh / Will the last person Left please turn out the lights? / New Labour, just fuck off and die’.
