We Don’t Need To Change The Lyrics Much For Enola May, Do We?

Prompted by this:

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]I’ve just seen Theresa May derided as ‘The Enola May’ – have you heard of a better name based put down of her?[/perfectpullquote]

How much change do we need to this?

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] You should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha words can’t describe
The feeling and the way you lied These games you play
They’re going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola May
It shouldn’t ever have to end this way [/perfectpullquote] [perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] It’s eight fifteen
And that’s the time that it’s always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you’re coming home Is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It’s never ever going to fade away [/perfectpullquote] [perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] It shouldn’t ever have to end this way
Ah-ha Enola May
It shouldn’t fade in our dreams away It’s eight fifteen
And that’s the time that it’s always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you’re coming home
Is mother proud of little boy today
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It’s never ever going to fade away [/perfectpullquote]

Better versions of these lyrics are invited in the comments.

These are also good:

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] It’s the May of the Dead The remains of the May [/perfectpullquote]

Further such entries are also invited. Cromwell’s in the bowels of Christ I beseech thee has already been used I’m afraid, as has Leo Amery’s echo in his 1940 speech. Fill up the walls with our Brexit dead isn’t quite the right point to be making, men abed in England on this, St Nigel’s Day, might be stretching matters but ‘ave a go if you’re ‘ard enough.
