Cm G7 Cm
I spy the worst place in the world in the whole world
Fm7 Cm
Oh you didn't do bad you made it out
Fm7 G7 Gsus4 Cm

Cm
And you know I will survive
Fm7
It may look to the untrained eye
Cm
I'm sitting on my arse all day
Fm7 G7
And I'm biding my time until I take you all on
My Lords and Ladies I will prevail
Cm
I cannot fail Cause I spy
Oh I've got your numbers taken notes and all the ways your minds work out
I've studied and your mind's just the same as mine except that you're just clever swines
You never let masks slip you never admit to it you're never hurried
Oh no no no
And every night I hold my plan how I'll get my satisfaction
How I will blow your paradise away away away ooh
Cause I spy
Cm
It's just like in the old days
F/C
I used to compose my own critical notices in my head
G#/C Am/C
The crowd gasps at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle
G#/C
Skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop
F/C G7
Imagining a blue plaque above the place I first ever felt a girl's chest
Cm
But hold on you've got to wait for the best
You see you should take me seriously Very seriously indeed
Cause I've been sleeping with your wife for the past sixteen weeks
Smoking your cigarettes drinking your brandy
messing up the bed you chose together
And in all that time I just wanted you to come home unexpectedly one afternoon
And catch us at it in the front room
You see I spy for a living and I specialise in revenge
On taking the things I know will cause you pain
I can't help it I was dragged up
My favourite park's a car park grass is something you smoke
birds is something you shag
Take your year in Provence and shove it right up your arse
Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on yeah
With your frightened eyes and roach burns under your eyes and addresses
And thousands of tiny dryna-slides running a path
running a path to the corner of your eyes
And every night I hatch my plan it's not a case of woman v man
It's more a case of haves against haven'ts and I just
happen to have got what you need just exactly what you need yeah
