From "Lapalco" (2002)
Intro: G | C | X4
Like a fGolk-singer's song I'm mCoving on
and I'm nGot the kinda man that aCcts very strong
when the gGirls are looking onC,
when the giGrls (when the giCrls are looking on)
If you tied my hands and put chains on my feet
I can picture myself walking down any street
telling people that I meet
"Psst! looks like rain to me (looks like rain to me)
Bridge:
eGvery single day at elFeven,I'm home in Bbbed in sleep heCaven,
AGlone 'Cos my gFirl leaves at sBbeven,ain't got tCime for my bed-in,
sGhe says "Stop Fpretending,yoBbu're not JohnC Lennon!"
CHORUS:
Will I eG5ver get over thC5is, having taG5sted your lips with a kC5iss?
You can crG5oss me off your lCmist,take these cG5uffs
from off my wrF5ists,and drop your fiG5sts
Intro X1
As soon as I'm well I'm gonna leave my house
become more of a man and less like a mouse
drive my car down south to the Mississippi's mouth
to the Gulf Of Mexico's mouth I'll be soused
Every girl I made in the shade of esplanade
I saved In a song that I play when I'm afraid
of a full scale air raid from the choices that I made
BRIDGE,CHORUS
da da da da de da de da ....
no matter how much you take of each song that i make
Im not fragile, I don't break and I'm down at the lake
and I hope someday you'll have it made
with all that money that you make
It was fun while it lasted but then it was blasted
right out of the water and into Fantastic
now he feels shafted and she's already past it
(she's like elastic and he's just so spastic)
BRIDGE X1,CHORUS X3
