(intro A D E (x9))
A D E
They come from underneath the stairs
A D E
Into my room but no-one cares
A D E
They're on the bus and on the train
A D E
They're knocking on my window pane.
A D E
Oh mother telephone the nurse
A D E
Can't you see it's getting worse
A D E
I close my eyes yet still it seems
A D E
Everybody in my dreams,
A D E A D E, A D E (x5)
Gubba look-A-likes Gubba look-A-likes.
A D E
I wake up screaming in the hall
A D E
I didn't mean to wake at all
A D E
I run and lock the bathroom door
A D E
Turn on the taps and out they pour.
A D E
Through all the villages and towns
A D E
A thousand sandy coloured clowns
A D E
I try and escape down private drives
A D E
And then I reach the Reader's Wives.
A D E A D E,(instr A D E (x9))
Gubba look-A-likes Gubba look-A-likes.
A D
In order to fling off this curse, I spend all day drinking in
E A D E
Diverse taverns, with smarmy acrobats and balding senators.
A D E
But after a while they too adopt the likeness and begin to breed like
A D E, A D E
town pigs.
A D E
As a drunken lump I fall into a state of blissful unconsciousness
A D E
But the moment is fleeting and I awake once more in despair
A D E A D E
And in my final agonies believe myself lost.
A D E A D E
Gubba look-A-likes Gubba look-A-likes.
A D E
In every film and every play, on every public right of way
A D E
On every flag I see unfurled, on all the grounds in all the world
A D E
The one-armed bandits in the bar, in the back of every car
A D E
And even on my dying day they'll refuse to go away
A D E
When I walk towards the light something somewhere won't be right
A D E
And what was once my Uncle Keith says there'll never be relief
A D E
And we'll go on and on and on and on and on.
A D E A D E, A D E (to fade)
Gubba look-A-likes Gubba look-A-likes.
