_Election in the air

(With apologies to John Paul Langbroek, er Young)

Election in the air
Everywhere I look around
Election in the air
In every shovel breaking ground....
I don't know if Bligh’s
being foolish
Don't know if she’s being wise
But it's something I’m starting to believe in
It's there when I look in her eyes ....

Election in the air
in the media events we see
Election in the air
in the adverts on TV ....
Anna’s trying to
create the illusion
That she’s really up to the task
Using hard-hat and short-skirt vision
to deflect questions that oughta be asked....

Chorus....

Election in the air
Election in the air
Oh,oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh ....

Election in the air
grandstanding in Parliament
Election in the air
’cos the Budget’s nearly spent ....
LNP – it just ain’t
performing
The talent ain’t there to be found
About issues which should stir loud screaming
From their benches there’s hardly a sound....

Election in the air
Public service workload’s getting manic

Election in the air
Bad polls have got Kaiser in a panic....

But I reckon that Anna’s
just dreaming
When she thinks she’s the best Premier yet
The thing that she must believe in
Is that voters will forgive and forget ....
(Repeat Chorus 4X)
