VERSE 1
********
D G
Muddy and familiar tracks lead into the room where no-one goes,
Bm F# E7
Only I know its true dimensions
D G
A hotel on a burning shore, derelict and furnished by the war
Bm F# C
That no-one ever mentions
----------------------
CHORUS
*******
D G E7 A
Give it all away, baby give it all away,
F# G D G D
Nobody wants to hear about the price you pay, you're a dog starved.

VERSE 2
********
D G
Everybody knows their own, stick to their imaginary zones
Bm F# C
To keep the information.
D G
We only differ from the rat, given a stranger in the pack,
Bm F# C D
In how we improvise to tear the strips from him.
----------------------
CHORUS
*******
D G E7 A
Give it all away, baby give it all away,

Nobody cares about the price you pay, you're a dog starved.

PRE BRIDGE
************
D
Now do you play the beating organ for attention
G D
Or to effect a gerrymander of the soul,
C
You hear the murmuring of mournful incantation
G D
Don't re-enrol, don't re-enrol
----------------------
BRIDGE
*******
G D
Today you only have to play along,
G D
Or make it seem as though you tried,
G D
Or did I ever only play along? Why would I
A
Half an hour of rain, half an hour of sun,
G A
In ode to violence the island sings its uncanny song
D A G
and I can only think I don't belong, and is this oblivion,
A
Is this oblivion
----------------------
VERSE 3
********
D
And so the pattern will repeat,
G
see the same worm at the same sheet,
Bm F# C
where all desires seem to wane or taper.
D
You say no worst, now there is none,
G
Look how the palimpsest has won,
Bm F# C D
how father breaches son like brick through wallpaper
----------------------
CHORUS
*******
D G E7 A
Give it all away, baby give it all away,
F# G D G D
Nobody wants to hear about the price you pay, you're a dog starved.
D G E7 A
Give it all away, I've got to give it all away,
F# G G D
I've got to give it all away, Just a dog starved.
