about

Here's a funny (and true) story about what happened to John Callaghan in June 2016 while waiting for a bus.

lyrics

It was a beautiful day but I wanted more
And a man said "Let me take you for a ride!
Step this way for my mystery tour!"
And he led me to a bus with words on the side
It had something to do with how my money was spent
"Ach! Vandals again! I didn't write that!
Ignore it! That isn't what I meant!"
He seemed a trustworthy sort so I sat

He said "Take a seat!
Is the future too scary?
Does the world make you wary?
We'll help you escape it!
Boom-bang-a-Brexit!"

So I'm waiting to move and he said "hold tight
There's a magical land and it's called 'the past'
But this bus will only steer to the right
So we may not get there especially fast"

Now, I was chatting to some folks, we were getting along
But the driver wrapped them up in a Union Jack
And he pulled it away and Boom! they were gone
"There's no room for them here - they were holding us back"

I started to worry - I thought what if
This bus is really heading off a cliff?
But then I heard cackling and I saw the driver
Running off with a beer and a bag full of fivers

Maybe the wrong choice but let's see it through
It was a bus-full of people and now it's just me
The wheels are stuck in a rut, but that's Britain for you
The past’s going nowhere and neither are we

So take a seat!
The world is scary, can you take it?
We'll help you escape it!
(Although we might fake it)
Boom-bang-a-Brexit

Even if the bus wrecks it
We'll pretend we can make it
It's not our fault if we miss it
We could half-bake it
Would you risk it for a biscuit?
Boom-bang-a-Brexit
