Biography:
The Church is an alternative rock band which formed in Sydney, Australia in 1980. Initially linked in with neo-psychedelia acts of the period, their music later became largely defined by the interplay of guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes coupled with the abstract lyrics of bassist/singer Steve Kilbey. Their debut album, Of Skins and Heart (1981), earned them their first radio hit "The Unguarded Moment". They were originally signed to EMI's Parlophone label

Ripple (Church)
Am / / / C / / / Dm / / / F / / /
[ ] x2
Am C
Tiny baby so naive
Dm F Am C Dm F
I can't believe what you believe, you were once so happy here
Am C
It may not be Eden or summer in Greece
Dm F Am C Dm F
You may not even find the golden fleece, in the drag of this atmosphere
Am
Now I don't want to bring up a delicate matter
Dm Am Dm
No I'd much rather bribe or flatter you, cos flattery gets me everywhere
Am
But you punctured my tyres, you crossed all my wires
Dm Am Dm
I brand your acolytes as a pack of liars, and the fire's singing everywhere
Ebm F#
Rip...., buckle like a wreck in a cold grey sea
Ebm F#
Rip...., like you were a ripple in my memory
Am
I lent you some collateral to buy new clothes
Dm Am Dm
It went out the window and up your nose, and that's the end of the honeymoon
Am
Yeah we walked down the aisle for another mile
Dm
I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles
Am Dm
And you can have all the money soon
Ebm F#
Rip...., buckle like a wreck in a cold grey sea
Ebm F#
Rip...., like you were a ripple in my memory
F#m / / / / / / / A / / / / / / / G#m / / / / / / / B / / / / / / /
Am
You're so deluxe you're so divine
Dm Am Dm
You're so 50 light years ahead of your time, you're a riddle you're a ripple
Am
You're a human sacrifice to the goddess of vice
Dm Am Dm
Your hairdo is full of diamonds and lice, and you're hardly off the nipple
Ebm F#
Rip...., buckle like a wreck in a cold grey sea
Ebm F#
Rip...., like you were a ripple in my memory
Ebm F#
Rip...., another little glitch in continuity
Ebm F# Am
Rip...., like you were a ripple in my memory
