Hmmm, I’m not too sure about this one. There was a lot not to like about Gillian Shepherd and her education policies, but this lyric feels a bit personal in a way that one probably wouldn’t direct bile at a male politician.
Mind you, writing in April 2017, I can think of another senior Tory female who makes me feel angry enough…
…and the Gillian Shepherd lyric is supposed to have a “nasty kids” feel to it…
GILLIAN SHEPHERD
(To the Tune of “Jennifer Eccles”)(Sung by a chorus of nasty schoolkids)
VERSE 1
White chalk written on red brick,
Our funds bound to withdraw;
That’s why we’ve got no blackboard,
Tough bitch, hateful old bore.CHORUS 1
We hate Gillian Shepherd (ugh-ugh),
We know that she’s ugly;
We hate Gillian Shepherd (ugh-ugh),
We know she’s not cuddly.La la, la-la-la, la la,
La la, la-la-la, la;
La la, la-la-la. la la,
La la, la-la-la, la;MIDDLE BIT
One rotten morning,
Found out we’d failed our grades;
Started us thinking,
That vixen ought to be spayed.VERSE 2
We hope Gillian Shepherd (ugh-ugh),
Will soon be down on her knees;
She screwed up agriculture,
And got mad cows disease.CHORUS 2
We hate Gillian Shepherd (ugh-ugh),
We know that she’s cutting;
We hate Gillian Shepherd (ugh-ugh)
She looks like pigs rutting.
WE hate Gillian Shepherd!!
