Billy Bragg foi descrita pelo jornal The Times como um 'tesouro nacional'. In the two and a half decades of his career Bragg has certainly made an indelible mark on the conscience of British music, becoming perhaps the most stalwart guardian of the radical dissenting tradition that stretches back over centuries of the country’s political, cultural and social history. Nas duas décadas e meia de sua carreira Bragg tem certamente fez uma marca indelével sobre a consciência da música britânica

OK, the actual lyrics, as he does them in the studio, are as follows: AA sus AA sus A rainy afternoon AA sus AA sus Spent in the warmest room E She lay before me and said DAAsusAA sus "Yes it's true that I have seen some naked men"
As she made for the door Leaving me on the floor I wish I'd done biology For an urge within me wanted to do it then
Chorus:
E And here she comes again D And I'm sitting on my hands A And she sings to me that siren song ED Here she comes again and I'm biting my lip AA sus AAsus But it won't be long
As Brother Barry said as he married Marion The wife has three great attributes, Intelligence, a Swiss Army knife and charm But that's not enough some times And she did speak her mind And told them all that she believed The only way to disarm is to disarm
Bridge
BmF#m I know people whose Idea of fun DADA Is throwing stones in the river in the afternoon sun BmF#m Oh let me be as free as them E Don't let her pass this way again
Instrumental, play chords to the verses
Though you cannot be blamed, but I've become inflamed With thoughts of lust and thoughts of power thoughts of love and thoughts of Chairman Mao We have such little time at your place or mine I can't wait till we take our blood tests Oh baby, let's take our blood tests now
Chorus again, then
AA sus AA sus EA It won't be long
Admittedly, what Uncle Bill says in concert is different. He tends to substitute "hairy" for "naked" in verse one and "drugs tests" for "blood tests" during gigs, as William judiciously notes.
"She said it was only a figment of speech..."

(chorus) G and here she comes again F and I'm sitting on my hands CG And she sings to me a siren song
here she comes again FCAmCAm I imagine it won't be long
(same) Her brother barry said when he married marrianne A wife has three great attributes Insurgence, resolve and off had charm
well that's not enough sometimes and she may speak her mind Juliana she believed the only way to defend is to disarm
Chorus
Bridge
DEm I know some people whose Idea of fun
CAm is to lie face down in the river
CAm in the afternoon sun
DEm Oh let me be as free as them
CG Don't let her pass this way again
You cannot be blamed But I've become insane with thought of lust, thoughts of power, thoughts of love and the thought of chairman Mao
We've had such little time be it your place or mine I can't wait to take our blood test oh baby, lets take our blood test now
(Chorus)
In the live version on the CD single of "Accident waiting to happen" Uncle Bill says "I can't wait to take our drug test, etc.... Pretty funny, I thought. I'm not exactly sure about the bridge, but it works for me. correct as necessary. Enjoy!
