(intro G A D7 G, G A D7 G)
G A
The difference between us and all the other bands
D7 G
Is that we're different.
A
You can tell by the way we do our interviews
D7 G A D, A D, A D, A7
That we are different.
Dm G
Underneath the underlying tones and busy melodies
C A
Next to the intelligent guitars
Dm G
You'll find frailty, beauty, sex as art
C A
And something or other about dolphins;
Dm G
Parlourmaids, dandelions, things 'bout my mind
C A
And a dead girl's soul that lives inside me
Dm G
And we don't really know what it's meant to be
C A
But it's an absolute depth of intensity
Dm G
But at the end of the night when the rider's been ridden
C A
We claim our fee and we get back in the van again.
Dm G
Inspired by no-one, other groups bore us
C A
How can you say we sound like Frazier Chorus?
Dm G
'Cos at the end of the night you claim your poke;
C A
You get back in to the Vim van Hanegem.
Dm G
Rockabilly Jim from the pub quiz team

Told me something more interesting than your songs ever could.
