Michael Foot Was A Great Bloke (I Don't Care What They Say)

I wrote this song in the 1980s when he was still ridiculed in the media and before he died and had all the gushing tributes from people who previously slagged him off.

Words and Music by Neil Harding

Michael Foot was a great bloke
I don't care what they say
Just because he wore a duffle coat on remembrance day

They write these things about you
But I know its just not true
They write this stuff about you
But its a load of hoodoo

The party political broadcast of 1982
Was the best I've ever seen
But they assassinated you

Just as sure as Kennedy was shot
They put a bullet in your head
Just as sure as Kennedy was shot
Bang bang, you were dead
