Ok, I realise that I am lowering the tone of the fair-minded, considered and erudite blog before I even begin, and possibly embarrassing everybody by my bad rhyming and song choice, but we’re students people! Plus #CleggCovers is a big meme and suggestions have been rolling in from all sorts of young Labour bigwigs. So yeah, bear with

Mr. Brightside by the Killers rewritten

VERSE

Coming up in the polls and I was doing just fine

Put my honour on hold, it’s coalition time

Got myself in a fix, guess gold and blue shouldn’t mix

It’s the new politics, it’s the new politics

It’s the spending review, and we’re cutting like hell

Is that bulls**t you hear? Is that bullsh**t you smell?

Letting all of you down, know you used to agree

This is Cameron town, and I’m his mini-me

BRIDGE

Then, promises get broken

Watch me squirm

Melting away like yellow snow

Our manifesto

CHORUS

Growing doubts

Kids and women losing out

Disregard all kinds of proof

Student fees are through the roof

But that’s how it has to be

Osborne’s at the treasury

All your hopes and dreams have died

You’ve just been Cleggified.
