F#C# She answered our ad wanted we had a vacancy F#BC# We didn't know what was in store but we were soon to see F#C# She plays records of The Foreskins at any given hour F#BC# She turns on the hot water tap while I'm in the shower G#mG# And at night the house is quiet you might wonder why BF# But punk's not dead she's just gone to bed BF#G#B Punk's not dead she's just gone to bed
F#C# Couldn't give a damn about the friends of mine she'll scare F#BC# Some people just can't see past studs and bleached blond spiky hair F#C# I say 'A' for Abba she says 'A' for Anarchy F#BC# In the morning she says "Never mind the bollocks, here's your cup of tea" G#mG# And at night the house is quiet you might wonder why BF# But punk's not dead she's just gone to bed BF#G#B Punk's not dead she's just gone to bed
F#C# I pass her in the kitchen she's got a longneck in her hand F#BC# She's playing me a dictaphone recording of her band F#C# Her drummer has been playing for nearly seven hours F#BC# But he hits them with such passion it makes other drummers cower GmG# When the night has come all safety pins must come undone BF# If the house is quiet well that's because punk's retired for the night BF#G#B If the house is quiet well punk's retired for the night F# Yeah she's retired for the night BF#G#BC# If the house is quiet well that's because tonight BF#G#BC#F# There's one little punk rock girl who's dead to the world
