Still waiting for Chilcot, leaked memos from Secretary of State Colin Powell to Dubya, dodgy dossiers - how long can Mr Anthony Charles Lynton Blair escape trial?
Celtic influenced Folk
Currently play as half a duo Steph and Al - me guitar and vocals, Steph violin.
Story behind the song
Our former Prime Minister Phoney Tony Blair, who led Britain into an illegal war in Iraq to support his dodgy chums in the oil business and who has since made millions out of his 'Middle East Peace Envoy' job - you couldn't make it up!
Lyrics
Phoney Tony
Hey Phoney Tony can you hear me, do you hear the cries of children as they drown?
Ambassador for peace you must be joking? You strut this mad world circus like a clown.
Million dollar fees to share your wisdom, while millions die because of what you’ve done,
Millions more displaced in dreadful sorrow, did you ever once believe the lies you spun?
Those dodgy dossiers, did you believe them, when a million marched against your bloody war?
Your supporters, sure you wouldn’t just deceive them, to snatch those Yankee dollars like a whore?
The Bush and Cheney oil gang they now own you, those puppet masters have you by the balls
you go on like a clown in their mad circus, and when they’ve done with you they’ll let you fall.
Corrupt and golden hand Sheiks were your mission, interfere in Arab lands what did you learn?
The fires that you started might consume you, but your greed for power continues as they burn.
Can you hear the cries of children Phoney Tony; do you see the lifeless bodies growing cold?
Do dollars soothe your conscience Tony, each time that you collect your bag of gold.
Hey Phoney Tony can you hear me, do you hear the cries of children as they burn?
Jet around; collect your Judas money, nations fell to fuel what you earn.
Sleep the sleep of death now phoney Tony, believe those lies you told with conscience clear.
The world will not forget though phoney Tony; your dying victims cries are what we hear.

Thank you for all the plays guys - I keep meaning to re-record but Steph (violin) has been really ill and in hospital - hopefully we will soon - meanwhile I think Dodgy Dave deserves a song too! Just a rough take with zoom recorder, me and Gibson J45 and Steph on muted violin!
