Story behind the song
Tony Blair offered a Third Way in British politics. I voted for him and he let me down big time, but then again I'm just an old unreconstructed leftie...
Lyrics
Words & Music : Dick Langford © TUTsongs Ltd.
You sold a dream that better times, yes better times,
that better times oh better times had better come
You sold a promise that the worse was now behind,
oh yes the worse was now behind and it was done
You sold an idea that was going to work out fine
yes it was going to work out fine right from the start
You had an idea that was different this time,
yes it was different this time it's from the heart
Third way, oh a smile hides many things
but a revolution wasn't one of them
Third way, oh the joys that could bring
but you sold us down the river once again
I bought a share in your new deal, in your new deal
it was a steal, it wasn't real it was a fake
I'd like to tell you how I feel, just how I feel, I'm feeling so
unreal I've been betrayed
I bought a picture from a man with smiling eyes
with his fingers tightly crossed behind his back
And I know I shouldn't really be surprised
when the colours fade from red to blue to black
Third way, I thought I joined the winning team
heroes one and all at start of play
Third way, ah but things aren't the way they seem
and we turned out to be villains by the break
