Candle in a jar?

[Phil]

Goodbye, Gordon Brown
Though we never really elected you at all
You got your chance to rule the land
Though your popularity palled

You came into Government
With Prudence on your mind
Then you found that being Prime Minister
Was the hardest thing you'd find

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in a jar
Never knowing who to smile at when the cameras zoomed in
Some would have liked to keep you
But others wanted rid
Your credit burned out long before
Your temper ever did

Leadership was tough
The toughest role you ever played
The media had a field day
Ridicule the price you paid

And even when you lost
And you still clung on to power
All the papers had to say
Was that Gordon was found to be dour

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in a jar
Never knowing who to smile at when the cameras zoomed in
Some would have liked to keep you
But others wanted rid
Your credit burned out long before
Your temper ever did

Goodbye, Gordon Brown
Though I never knew what made you tick
You had the grace to tell the world
That you agreed with Nick

Goodbye, Gordon Brown
As your career unfurled
You were something more than political
The day you saved the world

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in a jar
Never knowing who to smile at when the cameras zoomed in
Some would have liked to keep you
But others wanted rid
Your credit burned out long before
Your temper ever did
