[Verse 1]
(Play tab above throughout verse)
A cripple walks amongst you all,
you tired human beings
He's got all the things a cripple has
not two working arms and legs
And vital parts fall from his system
and dissolve in Scottish rain
D G A
Vitally he doesn't miss them He's too fucked up to care
[Chorus]
D G A Bm
Is that you in front of me? Coming back for even more of exactly the same?
D G A Bm
You must be a masochist, to love a modern leper on his last leg.
G
On his last leg

[Verse 2]
(2nd verse same chords as 1st)
I've crippled your heart a hundred times
and still can't work out why
See, I've got this disease, I can't shake and I'm just rattling through life
Well, oh, this is how we do things now,
yeah this is how the modern stay scared
So I cut out all the good stuff Yeah,
I cut off my foot to spite my leg
[Chorus]
D G A Bm
Is that you in front of me? Coming back for even more of exactly the same?
D G A Bm
You must be a masochist, to love a modern leper on his last leg.
G D G A Bm
I am ill but I'm not dead and I don't know which of those I'd prefer

Holding me uuuuuuuuuuuppp

Well, are you a masochist? You love a modern leper on his last leg

A Bm
And you can tell me all about what you did today
