Actually wanted to Jam this Robert Wyatt song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9T8H7vAXTA but due to rules and regulations etc... But hey, this one isn't too bad either.

#ElectionJam A short series of musical accompaniments to the UK GE2015. Listening is not an endorsement. Some are tenuous at best. Number #12. From an era that produced some great songs of political intent. I almost jammed 'Tramp The Dirt Down' but bottled it for this equally potent Elvis Costello song. Beautifully sung by Robert Wyatt.   26

You can probably tell what kind of a mood I'm in.
