about

From the 16th century, to ‘give someone the bauble’: to play them for a sucker or fool.

lyrics

We're forever giving out baubles
Playing you all for fools
Here comes Plan B
Don't mention the party
We'll do what we like
You stick to the rules

Here's another dead cat
For the Downing Street pet cemetry
We're forever giving out baubles
Places peasants please

We're dreaming dreams
We're scheming schemes
Selling our souls away
We get our kicks
Playing politics
And saying you can't play
We're giving out a warning
Which everyone will be ignoring

We're forever giving out baubles
Pretty baubles, there, there, there
