David was recently commissioned to write the music and lyrics for a series of 'Musical Manifestos' to go out on Newsnight in the run up to the UK General Election 2005. These were broadcast on BBC2 on 15th, 21st & 30th April, but if you missed them, you can listen to mp3s and read lyrics for these songs below.
