Lyrics
Intro - Piano establishing steady rhythm]
[Verse 1]
Labour's been playing that same old tune
Every downbeat falls right on the dot
They've memorized the dance, they know each move
But the crowd's forgotten what they've got
[Verse 2]
Along comes Reform with a brand new step
No sheet music, just making it up
They're stumbling wild, but the people pep
While the old guard sips their bitter cup
[Chorus]
It's the old soft shoe versus the crazy riff
One keeps time while the other runs free
You can practice your whole life or play it by ear
But the audience decides what they want to hear
Yeah, the audience decides what they see
[Saxophone solo - improvised, erratic]
[Bridge]
Now Labour says, "We've got the groove"
All steady, safe, refined
Reform just grins and makes their move
Playing drunk or playing blind
[Verse 3]
The metronome keeps ticking away
But the horn section's gone off the rails
Who wants to waltz when you can sway?
Even if the whole arrangement fails
[Chorus]
It's the old soft shoe versus the crazy riff
One keeps time while the other runs free
You can practice your whole life or play it by ear
But the audience decides what they want to hear
Yeah, the audience decides what they see
[Outro - Piano and Saxophone]
So place your bets on the steady beat
Or the solo that might fall flat
In politics, just like in jazz, my sweet
The crowd applauds whoever tips their hat
[End]
