Commons Brawl by Jethro Tull Lyrics

All right and honorable gentlemen
And lady, too
Will kindly try to restrain themselves
In derring-do

As verbal hard graffiti flies
And echoes wall to wall
Our precious model of democracy
It's the House of Commons brawl

One member from some dark mill town
Furious did cry
As spittle frothed on folded chin
To damn the lie

Let's serve this brief amidst the rush
Of boos and loud catcalls
Let's finish this right here and now
At the House of Commons brawl

Kick, punch went the government
As with jackets off they charged heaven-bent
Scratch, gouge went the other side
As the party firmly did divide
Another day in the lives of those
Who would guide us through
It follows perhaps that we should
By their example do
But there again I think for less
Poor Guy went to the wall
The wrong house but the right idea
To end the Commons brawl
