Lyrics Future of the Left

Future of the Left

Failed Olympic Bid

I've got a place for the American base

Right in the middle of Rotherham's steel mills

Imagine the boost for the local economy

Like anybody cares about the north of England

But a failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget

A failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget

I've got a home for the Millennium Dome

A heart disease ward underwritten by McDonalds

You got funding while I got fat

On a training programme for type 2 diabetes

But a failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget

A failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget

I've got a hole for Sebastian Coe

Saddam Hussein won't be needing it now

Glue the beard on and wake him up

When London speaks then the north won't listen

But a failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget

A failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget

A failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget

A failed Olympic bid leaves some kids so upset

They can't forget
