Who else reckons that Mr Darling’s plodding budget could have used a lively soundtrack? Well, here’s my recommendation: Goody Two Shoes by Adam and the Ants. The lyrics pretty much sum up the whole sorry affair!
“Put on a little makeup makeup
Make sure they get your good side good side
If the words unspoken
Get stuck in your throat
Send a treasure token token
Write it on a pound note pound note
Goody two goody two goody goody two shoes Goody two goody two goody goody two shoes Don’t drink don’t smoke – what do you do Don’t drink don’t smoke – what do you do
Subtle innuendos follow.
There must be something he’s hiding”
