There was another e-mail in our inbox this morning. And whether it's set to the guitar-driven original version of the Eric Clapton classic, or the cruisey, bluesy unplugged version that rebooted Clapton's career the words are the same. Check this out:
Laila (with apologies to Layla)Why are you back? Did you get lonely?
Is Big Kim’s cheque book at your side?
He’s been running and hiding much too long.
But he’s taking you for a ride.
Laila, it’s great you’ll take votes from the Greens.
Laila, the unions can’t be pleased
Laila, sorry, but Kim’s moolah’s made you blind
It won’t be any consolation
When the fat man lets you down.
You’ve been fooled, he’s played a trick you,
Like some obese circus clown
Laila, can’t you see the sleaze?
Laila, he hasn’t paid his employees.
Laila, avoiding extradition’s on his mind
It’s a very tricky situation
But that fits in well with the left.
We will say, that you have just been playedAnd tell you this will be in vain.
Laila, his ego to appease
Laila, smells like he cut the cheese
Laila, you’re going from respected to malignedLaila, Internet Party puh-leez
Laila, we wonder about the Greens
Laila, did he pay Russel off in cash or kind??
The jury's very much out on whether or not Laila Harre will get the same kind of second career that Eric Clapton got after that epic MTV Unplugged concert.
Given that the Internet Party has selected a hard-Left former MP and trade unionist as its leader, we suspect that Ms Harre's time in the limelight is going to be brief and unspectacular, and she will indeed be unplugged pretty quickly.
