Sign the Ban Blair-Baiting petition here. A recent comment – “Thank you Tony Blair for all you have done to make this World, your country and mine safer. Thank you for having the courage to make the hard decisions when it would have been more expedient and less derisive not to. Thank you for being more like Mr. Churchill than Mr Chamberlain. Most importantly thank you for serving your country when most of us just stand by and complain.”

Nicely Nicely (Nick) Rocking the Boat

I dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven
And by some chance I had brought my dice along,
And there I stood, and I hollered “Someone fade me,”
But the passengers they knew right from wrong
For the people all said,
“Sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat” … (all lyrics here at end.)

Britain’s Nicely, Nicely is doing a reasonably good job so far of keeping his crew in their places and that boat calm. In fact it’s the guys and gals at the other end of the boat who’re doing most of the rocking. (Liam Fox on Afghanistan – “we’re not there for the sake of … a 13th century broken country”)

The words of the ConDem Defence Secretary’s may well have been thrown overboard, but the waters at home will get choppier, especially if the 1922 Committee can be drowned at re-birth, perhaps by the other prime minister. Just to keep that other PM’s hands out of the murky water, you understand.

If Nicely Nick thinks he can get away with pushing for an arrangement whereby his coalition is protected for 5 years by his 55% rule he can think again.

The 55% change was NOT part of the manifestos of either coalition party – Conservatives or Lib Dems. If they try any “funny business” with our constitution these guy and gals will be in the water before they can holler “someone save me.”

SIT DOWN YOU’RE ROCKING THE BOAT, BY NICELY-NICELY:
I dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven
And by some chance I had brought my dice along,
And there I stood, and I hollered,
“Someone fade me,”
But the passengers they knew right from wrong
For the people all said,
“Sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.”
ENSEMBLE:
People all said,
“Sit down, sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.”
NICELY-NICELY:
“And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat;
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down you’re rocking the boat.”
NICELY-NICELY:
I sailed
ENSEMBLE:
OOH…
NICELY-NICELY:
Away on that little boat to Heaven
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist,
And there I stood,
Nicely passin’ out the whisky,
But the passengers were bound to resist
For the people all said, “Beware!”
ENSEMBLE:
People all said, “beware, beware!”
NICELY-NICELY:
You’re on a heavenly trip.”
People all said, “beware!”
ENSEMBLE:
People all said, “beware!”
NICELY-NICELY:
“Beware you’ll scuttle the ship;
And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie round your wicked throat;
Sit down,
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down, sit down, sit down,
Sit down you’re rockin’ the boat.”
NICELY-NICELY:
And as
ENSEMBLE:
OOH…
NICELY-NICELY:
And as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
A great big wave came and washed me overboard,
And as I sank, and I hollered,
“Someone save me,”
That’s the moment I woke up, thank the Lord!
ENSEMBLE:
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord!
NICELY-NICELY:
And I said to myself, “Sit down”
ENSEMBLE:
Said to himself, “Sit down, sit down”
NICELY-NICELY:
“Sit down you’re rocking the boat.”
Said to myself, “Sit down”
ENSEMBLE:
Said to himself, “Sit down”
NICELY-NICELY:
“Sit down you’re rocking the boat
And the devil will drag you under
ENSEMBLE:
And the devil will drag you under
NICELY-NICELY:
With a soul so heavy you’d never float,
Sit down
NICELY-NICELY & ENSEMBLE:
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down,
Sit down you’re rockin’ the boat-
Sit down you’re rockin’
Rockin’ the boat
Sit down you’re rockin’
Rockin’ the boat
Sit down you’re rockin’
Rockin’ the boat
Sit down you’re rockin’
Rockin’ the boat…
