about

Written in January 2020, You've Never Had It So Good was maybe not quite so searingly pertinent by April 2020 thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic - though the line "We've never had it so odd" certainly remains resonant...

lyrics

Farewell sweet memory
Now they've all drunk the tea
You've made a strong case for insanity
Now we're forced to agree
As we sit in the front row
All nervously watching the show

Chorus:
Now that there's no shouldn't or should
You've never had it so good
Millions won on double talk
We've never had it so odd

Welcome sweet destiny
Shades of the 70s
With choppy waters in the Irish Sea
And bigotry let off the lead
And I dare say we'll see worse
Why must proceed in reverse?

(Chorus)

And I suppose it's just our turn to travel here like so many more
And how hard is it to recover your way once you're through that door
Where myth is embraced
And sense angrily scorned
