C Mark was there he was chasing tail FGC The urban genie on the door got offered the manners test and he failed C That girl who said she was your friend but you really hated her FGC was there in her element as two chunky thick set skin heads gyrated her
FGCC/AmAm I'll be sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar FGC this time you've gone too far FGCC/AmAm ill be minding your drink as you go to the RBS cash machine FGC Dont sniff, keep it clean FGCC/AmAm what should i do now, i am all alone FGC the rest of the world has gone home
Intro Riff
C Tryna paint my feelings through this verse FGC just like Neil Young did, in the back of his hearse C but you wont hear much of that though, in here though FGC Its full of cheerful chaps who whistle and lear and live on their own
