| | Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards Lyrics Artist(Band):Billy Bragg
But on the Che Guevara highway filling up with gasoline Fidel Castro's brother spies a rich lady who's crying Over luxury's disappointment So he walks over and he's trying To sympathise with her but he thinks that he should warn her That the Third World is just around the corner In the Soviet Union a scientist is blinded By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded That Dr Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell At the first hurdle In the Cheese Pavilion and the only noise I hear Is the sound of someone stacking chairs And mopping up spilt beer And someone asking questions and basking in the light Of the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer Mixing Pop and Politics he asks me what the use is I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses While looking down the corridor Out to where the van is waiting I'm looking for the Great Leap Forwards Jumble sales are organised and pamphlets have been posted Even after closing time there's still parties to be hosted You can be active with the activists Or sleep in with the sleepers While you're waiting for the Great Leap Forwards One leap forward, two leaps back Will politics get me the sack? waiting for the great leap forwards well here comes the future and you can't run from it If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it waiting for the great leap forwards It's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll From Top of the Pops to drawing the dole waiting for the great leap forwards If no one out there understands Start your own revolution and cut out the middleman waiting for the great leap forwards In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune But this is reality so get some room waiting fort the great leap forwards So join the struggle while you may The Revolution is just a T-shirt away Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards If you find some error in Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards . | Reviewer: . | 1/5/09 i love this song. it's so comically true. eg, "in a perfect world we'd all sing in-tune. but this is reality so get some room." or "so join the struggle while you may, the Revolution is just a T-shirt away" i first heard this song on a television show with dawn french and catherine tate in it, called "wild west". now that i've thoughroughly read the lyrics i can't say that i understand why they had it on there because it doesn't really relate that much to the show. but i like it all the same [= Great Leap, Billy! | Reviewer: Simon Berry | 4/13/05 Just about the funniest and most self refferential piece from the un-crowned commisar of proletarian folk rock. This is proof positive that catchy doesn't have to mean mindless. References to the Kennedy dynasty, nuclear arms and political activism versus apathy all wrapped up in an increasingly up tempo, toe tapping tune - and it works in spades! Beam me up, Billy!
