"Brexit Epiphanies" - Marsh Family parody of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something

Today is the tenth anniversary of the Brexit referendum, one of the most disastrous political results in our lifetime. So since the usual bellends are out celebrating it, we’ve pulled together a quick parody called “Brexit Epiphanies” (no instruments were plugged in as we had to turn it around in time for the England World Cup match against Ghana!). It's based on a one-hit-wonder song that was massive in 1995 - when Ben and Danielle met - called "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by American rock band Deep Blue Something.

LYRICS

They said: we’d get something uncommon
A sovereign ground to start from
Better off apart

They said: the EU was egregious
Their lies convinced the Leavers
Still, we know, they don’t care
Now I say, what about Brexit epiphanies?!
The decade since the referendum’s been grim, and
As I recall, Putin and co. kinda liked it
Their rival held back! Economy’s shot!

The EU, we’re missing them acutely
And now pay higher duty
A mess dragging on
So what now? It’s painful seeing Dover
And migration isn’t over
There’s so much that got undone

So I say, what about Brexit realities?!
It’s late but think of inflation and bills and
The overall uptick to both common markets
The added help that we won in the bloc

One day! when we got scuppered by conmen
Cos Cameron fired a start gun
And we tore things apart
One day, that burdens and demeans us
The prize a grinning penis
Still hiding truth anywhere
Now I say, what about Brexit and remedies?
Reset, rethink, don’t pretend there’s no will, since,
As I recall, lately the polls kinda shifted
It’s time to shelve that, and take back our spot
