You ask me to give up the reins of the job I love

You ask me to jump before push comes to shove

But I tell the Party and the 148

Let’s clear the slate

And end debate

You better move on.

 

You ask me to draw a line under those who’ve died

Forget that we couldn’t be at their bedside

When you have partied and then baldly lied

We couldn’t hide

The tears we cried

“You better move on”, he says

“You better move on”.

 

But you know that this pantomime won’t go away

By-elections coming up mean it’s here to stay

This albatross will hang around your neck

You’re held in check

Your career a wreck

“You better move on”, we say

“You better move on”.
