Ken Livingstone has told LBC that Kate Bush wrote a song about him during the 1980s.

The former Mayor of London told David Mellor on their LBC show last week that she wrote a song, called "Ken".

Ms Bush recently announced that she would be performing in London for the first time in 35 years and tickets to the 15 shows sold out in just a few minutes.

Mr Livingstone told his LBC show: "I don't know if you'll be applying for tickets to go to Kate Bush's new tour, but don't forget, she did one great song - Ken Is The Leader Of The GLC - which I've still got at home. It's very good."

The lyrics of the song state:
Ken is the man that we all need,
Ken is the leader of the GLC.

Who is the man we all need? KEN!
Who is the funky sex machine? KEN!
Who is the leader of the GLC? KEN!
Who is the man we all need? KEN!

Here is the song in its full glory.
