Verse
CEvery Gmsweet little lie ever Dmwhispered to you now rEings true
CNo need to wake the sGmleeping dogs when Dmthey'll justE turn on you
IC'll make my way iGmnstead to the Dmfoots of your ivory Etower
C
GmBut no love Dmdo I find there amongst the leEaves and the dying flowers
Chorus
EWhat became of the lover in you
EBeat the sDwine Cblack and bBlue
EYou and DI, Cme and yBou
EWhat beDcame of the Clover inB you
EWhat beDcame of the Clover in Byou
Verse
The Thames and the Mersey, the Thyne and the Wear and the Clyde
They spew slums like gravey on the banks of the poisonous tyde
They washed up the pale thin girl, alone in her ivory tower
Scratching her skin with the thorns that grow on the stems of the wild flower
Chorus
What became of the lover in you
Beat the swine black and blue
You and I, me and you
What became of the lover in you
What became of the working class
Nike, Reebok, Adidas,
Scratch cards, pimples, ecstasy
Hooray fo the 21st Century (5x)
