Move On! (Iraq inquiry, part two)

Today, the UK Parliament voted against an opposition bid to have the forthcoming Iraq Inquiry held largely in public. When it is finally completed, we’ll be told something like this…


Well, nothing’s ever easy, in this modern world
Whether you’re going to war or just chatting up a girl
You’re gonna need a good line, for when things go wrong
Just say, “Put it behind you, and move on”

“Move on, put it behind you
Move on, do I have to remind you?
Move on, that we know how to find you, so
So put it behind you and – move on!”

They built a new bomb – it was so damn smart
It could take out the cherry on top of a cherry tart
But it missed the target, when it hit the ground
And flattened a mosque in an old Middle Eastern town

They simply said,
“Move on, put it behind you
Move on, do I have to remind you?
Move on, that we know how to find you, so
So put it behind you and – move on!”

Now your pants are on fire, and the Party’s dejected
Saying, “What’ll it take to get us re-elected?”
Only one line, repeated on and on
And that’s “Put it behind you and – move on!”

“Just move on, put it behind you
Move on, do I have to remind you?
Move on, that we know how to find you, so
So put it behind you and – move on!”

These are good little rackets, for as long as they last
But now it’s time to draw a line underneath the past
Because you could get arrested, if you sing this song
So just put it behind you and – move on!

“Move on, put it behind you
Move on, do I have to remind you?
Move on, that we know how to find you, so
So put it behind you and – move on!”
