Lyric sheets: Tony Blair's Guitar
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Far from state affairs
Emanates a jangle
From a room upstairs
Volume rises, catching
Cabinet unawares
Probably a power chord
Must be Tony Blair's
Scissor kicks and windmills
Sweatband on his head
Waggling his tongue round
Standing on the bed
Does it every evening
Helps him to relax
Major had his cricket
Clinton's got his sax
That's what wins elections
Tony Blair's guitar
Nothing on a Blues scale
Could have gone as far
There in times of trouble
When he needs a friend
Bet he can't play Stairway
(That bit at the end)
