Poem - Don't You Want Me? (Remix) (with apologies to the Human League

Bill Greenwell

Published 20 November 1998

The hit parade is dominated by artists from the eighties and from even earlier

We were working for the party on our council beat

That much is true

We canvassed up and down the town in every street

The red flag flew

Now decades later on we have some grey in our hair

But we've pulled through

Now Dennis, Ken and Rhodri look as sexy as Cher

Give us our due -

Oh? Don't you want us?

You know they won't believe you if we're all rejected

Oh? Don't you want us?

Your eyes will not deceive you when we're all elected

You better change your tack

Or you'll find out when we're back

We'll have you on the rack and we will not be sorry . . .
