DEATH ON THE STAIRS
A#From way far across the sea FCame an eritsean maiden she GMHad a one track mind and eyes for me GMHalf blinded in the war CMWith a pale young anglican FWho said he'd help her all he can A#Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy frieD#nd CMShe had no mind to please him FJust say 'ta-ra' and leave him bA#ehind
There's a little boy in a stairwell who say "I hate people like you" Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p We all clambered over the balcony Banging on the window waking steve Bringing with a new love his un-holy friend If you really need it you mustn't leave it behind
A#Please kill me no D#don't kill me FBut don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see them anymore
A#Please kill me no D#don't kill me FBut don't bang on about yesterday I wouldn't know about that anyway
Monkey asked the mouse before If she loved anybody more than he It turns you into stone Now i'm reversing down this lonely street To a cheap hotel when i can meet the past And pay it off and keep it sweet It's sweet like nothing at all Yes i've seen you there how could i help but stare It rips the heart out off your body Now i've taken far too much to think Or see or touch what's real i'm stranded on this street that Paved my only way home You really need it you just won't leave it behind He got nothing he got nothing at all
