We’re In This Together is a driving comic indie rock track about kidnapping George Osborne, Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer. Why? Because it seemed like a good idea.

lyrics

Well I think I may have gone too far
Now I’ve got George Osborne in the boot of my car
I’ve got George in the boot of my car
Yeah, I’ve got George Osborne in the boot of my car
Got George in the boot of my car
I’m gonna have to see this through ’til the end.

Snuck him into my house in the dead of night
My girlfriend said, ‘you gave me a fright’
She said ‘I think I know this fella’
I said, ‘hush just help me get him into the cellar’

And she was really helpful she held open the trapdoor while I bundled him in
See, that’s commitment, that’s love. Although she is from Salford.

She said, ‘I’m pretty sure that I recognise him
although all I can see are his eyes’
That’s cos I’d gaffer taped his entire mouth area

And he said, ‘Mmm, Mmm, Mmmm, Mm, Mm, Mmm, Mmm, Mm, Mmmm, Mm, Mmmmm, Mmmmmmm, Mmm-mm-mm’
So I peeled back the gaffer tape ’cos I’m not a maniac.

George let out a scream of dread and fear
And I just said, ‘calm down dear.’
He said, ‘will you untie my tethers?’
I said, ‘no George we’re in this together.’

And he said, ‘technically that’s not right, because you’ve kidnapped me and now you’re holding me hostage illegally.’ And I said, ‘well you’ve just proved my point for me George, haven’t you? Nyah!’

We’re in this together
Me and George, down in my cellar
He said, ‘it’s not that nice down here, Matt, please excuse me.’
I said George, ‘What did you expect an underground Jacuzzi?’

George you’ve got disdain for people you see
Try to cut tax credits, and raise VAT
He said, ‘your politics are too simplistic.’
So I drew a cock n balls on his face with a lipstick

We’re in this together
Me and George Osborne in my cellar
Like Katie Hopkins and her vile ideas
Like Donald Trump and his repugnant hair
Like a Pig and a Prime Minister
We’re in this together

We’re in this together
