Lifted

Now, I realise this isn't a standalone showstopper of a song parody but at least it's topical as it's inspired by a posting made today by Splodge about people stealing ideas, jokes, sketches, etc.

Clearly, the tune is 'Lifted' by the Lighthouse Family and it's almost the most difficult song in the world to fit the lyrics to the music if you don't know the tune well.

Accordingly, here's the tune (with original words):

"Lifted"

I really love to work at home without all the
Stress and strain of a proper job
But it ain't long before some twat starts stealing
My material like a proper knob

Then I have to write again
The whole world turns to shite again
It doesn't really matter bout the pain
Cos everyone steals anyway
I'll get up and start again

Cos work will be lifted, lifted, lifted
Work'll be lifted
Under your nose, lifted
Oh it could be, lifted now today
Lifted all the way, you and I can starve
Baby, lifted, lifted, lifted, hey

I'm imperturbable my friends have found
In my writing space way above the ground
Everything is fair and equitable
There's enough to go round and around

But when some joker in the class
Rips off my work, it comes to pass
I'd like to stick a poker up his ass
Into his heart and all the way
Pull it out and start again

Cos work will be lifted, lifted, lifted
Work'll be lifted
Under your nose, lifted
Oh it could be, lifted now today
Lifted all the way, you and I can starve
Baby, lifted, lifted, lifted, hey

P.S. As Rob Brydon might say, it's just a bit of fun.

I'm an anti no commentarist. I hate to see postings that no f**ker's got the common decency to comment on. And I'm one of them. So f**k me, too.
