Lyric discussion by bugoff 

OK, this song is referencing the win by Labour (Red) of control of the British government from The Conservative Party (Blue).

Old men wearing rose-tinted goggles: They have seen this before (when Labour was last in power), and they are reminiscing ("This can't be heaven, I've seen it before").

The Red Man - Was Blue 15 years ago, now Red, and looks so unhappy as to suggest he will be shifting allegiances again soon.

Alex and the Droogs? The 'new' government - a leader and his mob.

Anyone else any thoughts?
