Fab Farage and UKIP… a meteoric rise that would be funny if it wasn’t so scary. From the Euros to the General Election, it’s going to be an interesting 12 months for the ‘definitely not a racist party’.

Fab Farage: A UKIP Odyssey (with Slightly Racist Notes)

Music credit: Stan Ridgway

I was reading manifestos, needed to fly my flag
Elections were looming and I had a vote
Yet I couldn’t seem to find a voice that echoed with my own
I needed integrity with slightly racist notes
To keep away the Muslims from good old Christian folk
To bite a thumb at Europe – and do what’s right…
And then a politician – a gent, with a really friendly face
Appeared there in my living room and said, “Alright?”

“I heard your deliberations,” he continued with a big smile
“There’s problems in this country, join our UKIP barrage!”
I said what do you stand for?” Told my name and asked him his
He said “freedom… and they call me Fab Farage!”

Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
Immigration really is obscene
Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
He’s the leader of a tolerant regime

I was going to ask him where he came from – how he got inside my head?
But he offered me a beer and then he said:
“Your attitude is right my son, and for god, country and St George
We’ll take back our destiny, put all demons back to bed

His elixir soothed me, my curiosity was slaked
“You’ll find all life’s problems,” he said with a grin
“Can be solved with malty hops,” he sipped deep, then continued
“That’s why I love the far right… they always get pints in,
From fascists in Italia, to cutesy bell French Marie Le Pen
We bond over beer… the people’s drink.”
He handed me his pamphlets and then I signed up for his cause
As he took my money he gave me a deft wink
He’s truly quite a guy

Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
Some say his expenses are obscene
Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
He’s the greatest answer to my voting dreams

And I knew there was something special about him
As he left through my door
And gave a perky whistle to a Minokawa
Wife perched behind him, mistress in front, he took off on the giant bird like a shiny golden god

Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
Likes bigotry and keeping his shoes clean
Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
Come and join us on his right wing war machine

Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
Likes bigotry and keeping his shoes clean
Woah-oh-oh-oh Fab Farage
Come and join us on his right wing war machine
