[Verse 1]
Em
I was coming from the club, I was pretty full up
Em Bm
a man said what you doin lad, your eyes are all lit up
Bm Am
I said I took a pill to make me feel a little calmer
Am Em
he said let's have a fight cus I'm a real hard farmer
Em
well he wrestled me to the ground and took my wallet
Em Bm
so I smashed him with a brick and made him drop it
Bm Am
oh the trouble that you have just getting home
Am Em
it makes me feel like living on my own
[Chorus
C
Why does it have to be like this
G Bm
every time I leave the club someone wants to have a go
C G
I thought the stone age had gone ten thousand years ago
G Bm
but Neanderthals still roam
[Verse 2]
Em
One day I was walking down Union street with this girl
Em Bm Am
and someone said what's that on your head I said it's grease
Am Em
have you never heard of Brylcream, man where have you been
Em
he said you're not normal lad you don't look like all the rest
Em Bm Am
I said I'm not a robot, I'm a rockin roller from the fifties
Am Em
he looked at me rather shifty
[Chorus
C
Why does it have to be like this
G Bm
every time I leave the club someone wants to have a go
C G
I thought the stone age had gone ten thousand years ago
G Bm
but Neanderthals still roam
[Verse 3]
Em
I went back to this girls house and her dad came down
Em Bm
in the middle of the night with his pyjama's on, he
Bm Em
he said what's the bloody noise, I said you must have left your tv on
Em
he said get out of my house you little swine
Em Bm
the girl is never yours she's always mine
Bm Am
I said keep her man she's hardly worth the trouble
Am Em
he marched me out the house at the double
[Chorus
C
Why does it have to be like this
G Bm
every time I leave the club someone wants to have a go
C G
I thought the stone age had gone ten thousand years ago
G Bm Em
but Neanderthals still roam, Neanderthals still roam
