"Mr President, before I start, may I say how pleased I am to find out that your parents are in the Chamber, not just because it is nice to have an audience, but so they can see how your fair chairmanship of these sittings has earned you respect across the Chamber, including even from British Conservatives.
And just because it’s easier than the truth
Oh if there’s nothing else that [he] can do –’
He will fly away – ‘fly for you’, out of this place, having felt that you should ‘always believe in your soul’. ‘Luck has left [him] standing so tall.’
And praise ring in the heavens, for Spandau Ballet have re-formed!
It is ‘so true, funny how it seems’ that in just a few short days President Obama comes to Strasbourg. Looking through the barricades being erected he might reflect, if he thinks at all about the European Parliament, that its two-seats policy is absolutely mad, a complete waste of money. Indeed, he will think:
‘Round and round it goes
And oh don’t you know
This is the game that we came here for.
Round and round it goes.’
But soon he will be gone, looking at the hopeless nature of the one-size-fits-all regulation that cripples EU businesses, and doubtless he will think that there is no lifeline that he can throw.
And
‘because [he has] nothing else here for you"@en1
