    Story Behind the Song
    Inspired by my view that parliamentary "democracy" in Britain is a bad joke and a very silly game for grown ups to play. Originally written in 1981 and appeared under the title "Here Here Here" on first Tim Burness album "Burnessence" in 1983. Re-recorded in 1988 for my 1989 single "Learning To Fly" and achieved airplay on Radio One. Released again on 1997 extended single and demo "Infinite Ocean".

    Lyrics
    They're mumbling in the House of Commons,
    They're mumbling "here, here, here",
    They're mumbling in the House of Commons
    You know we've got nothing to fear.

    They're mumbling in the House of Commons, About how much they care,
    But the Right Honourable Gentlemen,
    Are full of hot air.

    (Repeat first four lines)
