Song 1: Moving To New York
No Capo

[Verse 1]

Dm Am C G
I've just had the craziest week,
Dm Am C G
Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit.
Dm Am C G
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud,
Dm Am C G
It's theraputic somehow.

[Chorus]

F C Am G
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep,
Dm Am C G
And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve.
F C Am G
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep,
Dm Am C G F
Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me.

(carry on strumming F till next verse)

[Verse 2]

(same chords as verse 1)

Dm Am C G

I put one foot forward and ended up thirty yards back.

And am I losing touch or am I just completely off the track?

And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud,

It's theraputic somehow

[Chorus]

F C Am G
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep,
Dm Am C G
And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve.
F C Am G
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep,
Dm Am C G F
Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me.

Song 2: Lost In the Post
Capo 2

[Verse]
A Bm D
I should have known you didn't have the time, my dear
A Bm D
To let this twenty-something bring you down with his list of fears
A Bm D
I'd like to think we had some fun times though
Bm D
It's just my inability to think outside the box, I know

[Chorus]
A D
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post
Bm A D
Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go
A Bm D
(Go to Santa, go!)

[Verse]
A Bm D
I could see your interest wane, my dear
A Bm D
She wanted Mary Poppins and I took her to King Lear
A Bm D
Yeah, we had some spills, shall I say
Bm D
And I thought you were going to leave, but not that you'd evaporate

[Chorus]
A D
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post
Bm A D
Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go
A Bm D
(Go to Santa, go!)

[Bridge]
A
Please go to Santa, go to Santa, go, go, go....... x16

[Chorus]
A D
She was signed, sealed and lost in the post
Bm A D
Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go
A Bm D
(Go to Santa, go!)

Song 3: Patricia The Stripper
No Capo

A
She works downtown in an unmarked bar, flyin' 'round poles
D
She always gave me the fright of my life
A
I didn't mean to get involved it was the alcohol
D
Mixed with an empty feeling inside
Bm
It's such a bad idea
D E
To fall in love with a 'lady of the night'

A
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

D
Why didn't God give her two left feet
Bm D
Then she couldn't run away from me

A
Months go by and I'm alone in bed
D
While she's greasing up for when the businessmen and lawyers arrive
A
I've got to wear a beard, a suit and tie
D
To get past the door if I want to see my girl tonight

Bm
I go to all this effort
D E
Just to see my fair Patricia going home with some other guy

A
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

D
Why didn't God give her two left feet
Bm D
Then she couldn't run away from me

A
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

D
Why didn't God give her two left feet
Bm D
Then she couldn't run away from me

Bm D A E
She thinks I'm sad and that's alright
Bm D A E
But she doesn't hate me so there's my little alibi
Bm D A
I can't, I can't leave, I can't, I can't, I can't
E Bm
She's my coked up Botox girl

A E
Patricia, Patricia
A D
Oh, Patricia the stripper you are my sunshine
Bm A
So, why can't you come home with me tonight

A
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

D
Why didn't God give her two left feet
Bm D
Then she couldn't run away from me

Song 4: Party In A Forest (Where's Laura)
No Capo

[Verse]

B G#m
Am I in a scene from 'Midsummer Nights Dream'?
E F#
I thought raves like these died in the 90's?
B G#m E F#
The forest is breathing along with us tonight

B G#m
Upper class thugs take middle class drugs
E F#
And we all get lowered in size
B G#m E F#
This is not my scene, I should not be here tonight

[Chorus]

B G#m
Laura, ooh-oh ooh-oh
B G#m
Laura, ooh-oh ooh-oh
B G#m E F#
Laura, you can get me home tonight

[Verse]

B G#m E F#
Trance music bangs a comical dance of cardboard boxes and fish
B G#m E F#
We're the fairies from hell and we're all on a Deathwish

B G#m
This is not my scene, this is killing me
E F#
I don't want to be here tonight
B G#m E F#
And the girl who can save me's well across the Pennines

[Chorus]

B G#m
Laura, ooh-oh ooh-oh
B G#m
Laura, ooh-oh ooh-oh
B G#m E F#
Laura, you can get me home tonight

Song 5: Backfire At The Disco
No Capo

Verse 1

A
It's 8 O'clock and I'm feeling fine
F#m
I'm out on a date tonight
D
In a candle lit restaurant
A
Down by the riverside
A
Everythings going alright I guess
F#m
She took down my number and home address
D
Everything was going perfectly
A
Until

Chorus

A
It backfired at the disco
F#m
she slapped me at the disco
D A E
I did something I'll never forget

Verse 2

A
It was a chat up line built not to impress
F#m
More a sleezy remark on her whorish dress
D A
My wires crossed like they'd never done before
A
Well it's 3 O'clock and I'm feeling shite
F#m
I'm going home alone tonight
D
Everything was going perfectly
A
Until

Chorus

A
It backfired at the disco

I did something I'll never forget

she slapped me at the disco
D A
I made a move when it was well out of context

Outro

A
It backfired at the disco
F#m
We were dancing at the disco
D
It backfired at the disco
A
We were dancing at the disco
A
Yeah it backfired at the disco

When she slapped me at the disco
D
It backfired at the disco
A
We were dancing at the disco

Oh oh oh oh
G G C F

She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!
G C A# A
She'll steal your mind first then your car
G C A# A
She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!
G C* A#* A*
Blame it on an evil twist of fate, that she created from the start

[Verse 3]
G C A# A
Just one more single malt then it's off to bed for me
G C F
My head is spinning round and my legs are break-dancing (He's pissed!)
G C A# A
I only meant to say farewell but I spilt more than my drink
G C F
I can't remember exactly what I said but I remember being chased up the street!

[Instrumental 3]
G G C A# A
Oh oh oh oh
G G C F
Oh oh oh oh
C F C F
Oh oh oh oh

Blame it on an evil twist of fate, that she created from the start

She's not that beautiful, she's not that beautiful!

It's just my car broke down and mirrored both our lives

I met you for months last Sunday
B A G#m E
My oh my, what a happy clappy fun day!

Had no idea the pain this cheap pay could bring

Now that your tickle has become a scratch

This ghost train will derail and crash

Like Blackpool's Pepsi Max

We will derail and crash

B A G#m E C#m

[VERSE 2]
B A G#m
You moved my wardrobe out the front door
B A G#m E
A slight indication of what I've come home, what I'm in for
B A G#m
You were watching Tarantino loud on wide-screen
B A G#m E
I catch your eye and the barrel points at me

Looks like your tickle has become a scratch

This ghost train will derail and crash

Like Blackpool's Pepsi Max

We will derail and crash

Song 9: Little Miss Pipedream
No Capo

E A
I think the postman intercepts everything I try and send to you
E A
'Cause he's infatuated, and he's the fulcrum between us two
B A E
And I can't say I'd blame him 'cause I'd cheat a priest just to get to you
E
(Doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo doo do)

E
She works in a dental practice, nine-til-five how does she manage?
A E
Considering her nights don't pass out til three
B A E
So I guess that flossing is the last thing in her health routine
E
(Doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo doo doo do)

A B A
And I don't mind that she gets hammered and goes home with other guys
A E
There's no jealousy, 'cause she's little miss pipedream fantasy
A
(Ooh-wooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh ooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh ooh)

(Ooh-wooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh ooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh ooh)

E
(Ooh-wooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh ooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh ooh)

E A B C#m A
I saw her slam back tequilas like Oliver Reid on an Irish stag do
A B C#m A
And I'll wait if you stay 'cause foggy London town's not built for me or you
A E
Don't leave miss pipedream 'cause I love you
E
(Doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo doo doo do)
A
(Ooh-wooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh ooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh ooh)
E
(Ooh-wooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh ooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh ooh)

A B C#m A
And I don't mind that she gets hammered and goes home with other guys
A B C#m A
There's no jealousy, though she'll grind it out with friends but not with me
A E
She's my little pipedream fantasy
E
(Doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo do doo-doo doo doo doo do)
A
(Ooh-wooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh ooh-wa-ooh oooh oooh oooh ooh)
