I'm Gordon Brown (5,000 Miles)

To the tune of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers

When I suck up, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's sucking up to you
When I'm talking, you know my speech is gonna be
It's gonna be me saying what you tell me to
Although I'm PM, well I know I'll never be
I'll never be a man as powerful as you
And our special, relationship will be
It's gonna be whatever Barack wants it to

But I would fly 5,000 miles
And I would fly 5,000 more
Just to be the man who flies ten thousand miles
To be Obama's whore

When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
Sorting out the credit crunch that's caused by you
And when money, goes in bonuses to scum
I know it's just the sort of thing that your lot do
When I come home, well I know I'm gonna be
Roasted in the press for sucking up to you
And I know that, when I'm voted out of power
I'll realise I never meant a thing to you

But I would fly 5,000 miles
And I would fly 5,000 more
Just to be the man who flies ten thousand miles
To be America's whore

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

da da da (da da da)
da da da (da da da)

Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da

But I would fly 5,000 miles
And I would fly 5,000 more
Just to be the man who flies ten thousand miles
To be Obama's whore

Top stuff but vary the chorus a little for TS/NR otherwise that's well weapon.

I can vision 2 people playing him and Darling singing it together.

Excellent to see a song with some real satirical bite. Very good. I'm only a little sad that a Blair/Bush version doesn't exist as they took poodling to a whole new level.
