Left Side From My Right
Never been to Russia, it's only girls I've overthrownNever met a communist in my living room at homeAnd I've never read Das Kapital deep into the nightBut I'll always know my left side from my rightAnd I've never trashed McDonalds but their burgers make me sickEven when I want to, well, I can never find a brickI just sit here writing songs when I should get on out and fightBut I'll always know my left side from my rightThese days, it always seems the same to meCultural stability can't be solved by my TVBut I know I can play my part by loving you, yeah that's a startI was only two years old when Thatcher came to powerJust old enough to eat on my own and tell my sweet from sourBut now I think I'm old enough to sit and sing this songCause I'll always know my right side from my wrongAnd I've never held a banner for the men on the miner's strikeCause in the nightmare of the eighties I just rode my mountain bikeBut if you trace back those tyre tracks you'll find me to be trueCause I'll always know my red side from my blueThese days, it always seems the same to meCultural stability can't be solved by my TVBut I know I can play my part by just loving you, yeah that's a startNever set up a trade union but I've been to the union barListen to all those students discussing life after the TsarSongtexteYou know it's better to try and lose than to not try and still failBut there's always one that buys the Daily MailSo I've never been to Russia, it's only girls I've overthrownNever met a communist in my living room at homeAnd I've never read Das Kapital deep into the nightBut I'll always know my left side from my rightI'll always know my left side from my right Aus Songtexte Mania
