Biography:
TCTC were an eclectic alternative rock band with various post-rock, electronic and heavy prog elements in their sound, that, taken as a whole, ranged from dark, brooding space rock and lysergic ballads to skewed cyberpunk with the intensity of post-hardcore. They were named after an obscure UK parliamentary amendment to the 1870 Elementary Education Bill, allowing parents to withdraw their children from religious education and preventing indoctrination in state schools.

lyrics and chords sheet by colintron - www.papertruth.co.uk
D F#m
I hope you never change. I hope you never go.
D F#m
I hope you'll always keep our little secret, though.
G D
But how'd we get here? -At this height?
F#m G
And what's this talk of dead weight?
D F#m
I know we always drink, but we don't always fight.
D F#m
The landing lights are on, but we're just out of sight
G D
'cos this thing's mobile; There's still wheels.
F#m G
And I'm not done yet, so hang on.
D F#m
You came along to change the grade; To raise the bar I'd made of late.
D F#m
You came along to raise the stakes; To tend to me and my mistakes.
G D
I can't pretend that I could be the man you said you saw in me,
F#m G
But hang around and I'll try and land this thing.
D Bm
No-one came; No-one saw.
D Bm
No-one came; No-one saw.
A G/B
Someone pass the manual.
D F#m
And soon I'll go away. I'll see you at the door.
D F#m
So go put David on; Read about the war.
G D
We're just blind pilots in strange planes.
F#m G
Back seat drivers in dead cars.
[You came along...]
D F#m
Yeah, I made a list of all the things that I could change: How I could win.
D F#m
I can't and I refuse to say the wheels have slowly come away.
G D
I pray to God my soul to keep 'cos I could never stand the heat.
F#m G
But hang around and I'll try and land this thing.
[No-one came...]
