Biography:
The Shack story is one of music's greatest legends, a tale of such woe and wonder it defies exaggeration. It incorporates hardship, bereavement and chaotic misadventure, but above all it tells The tale of beautiful music triumphing over trouble and tragedy. And that's where we begin: with the beautiful music.
In the '80's, the two brothers from the Kensington area in Liverpool were singer and guitarist with The Pale Fountains, an effervescent pop group who were signed to Virgin for the ridiculous (in those days) sum of £150

Verse 1
G C
Yea you know there's Oscar and he wheelchair bound
F C
and he's living off the state
G C
He's got this dream about living in the Netherlands
F C
Where sex is on the slate
G C
He asked this chick if she could help him out
F C
She said you know I oughta smack yer face
G C
These arms do nothing and I'm not trying to be funny
F C
but I just don't think we got the space
Chorus
(C) G
You gotta settle down
C
You gotta think it out
F C
You gotta paint the scene
(C) G
I'm not made of stone
C
Can't do it on my own
F C
Can't you see what I mean?
Verse
Yea he gotta a letter from a friend of his
who's living in Amsterdam
He's got this woman who comes around a couple times a month
it's a lady her names Ann
Yea she pops up and down once or twice a month
it's all part of some brand new government plan
She said she doesn't think of herself as a prostitute
She's more of a healer-yea that's Ann
Chorus
You gotta settle down
You gotta think it out
You gotta paint the scene
I'm not made of stone
Can't do it on my own
Can't you see what I mean?
Bridge
Dm F
And I'm sick and tired of this place
C G
it's driving me insane
Dm F
And I'll save all my money
C G
and get on that plane
Dm F
And I have to have the courage
C G
to determine what's out there for me
Am Em Dm G
And I said I could stay with him
Am Em Dm G
And since I'm very good friends of his
Intrusmental (over verse chords)
