[Verse 1]
D
History repeats the old conceits
G
The glib replies the same defeats
D
Keep your finger on important issues
F
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
[Verse 2]
D
I'm just the oily slick
G
On the windup world of the nervous tick
D F
In a very fashionable hovel
D
I hang around dying to be tortured
G
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
F#m F
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
[Verse 3]
D G
So in this almost empty gin palace
F#m
Through a two-way looking glass
F
You see your Alice
D
You know she has no sense
G
For all your jealousy
[Verse 4]
D F
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly
D
Charged with insults and flattery
G D
Her body moves with malice
F
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous
D G F#m
And now you find you fit this identikit completely
F
You say you have no secrets
D
And then leave discreetly
[Chorus]
G
I might make it California's fault
G
Be locked in Geneva's deepest vault
G
Just like the canals of Mars and the Great Barrier Reef
Dm
I come to you beyond belief
[Verse 5]
D
My hands were clammy and cunning
G
She's been suitably stunning
D F
But I know there's not a hope in Hades
D
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
G F
So called gentlemen and ladies
D
Dog fight like rose and thistle
[End]
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
F#m
Once this seemed so appealing
D
Now I am beyond belief?
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
F#m
Once this seemed so appealing
D
Now I am beyond belief?
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
F#m
Once this seemed so appealing
D
Now I am beyond belief?
