Cover art for Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo lyrics by Half Man Half Biscuit

It's "Advent in the high street", not "I went in the high street".

Also, it's not actually about the Libs. It seems like it should be, but Nigel has stated that, in fact, it's not. Whether you believe him, of course, is a different matter, but that's the official line from the songwriter!
