^FKoreema know just wh^Gat it is she does A# F REPEAT It cant be hard for her to get a buzz

Down in the street below You can hear the drunken prophet sing "I know whats on your mind my boy I can see oh everything Lead pipes are fortune made well Take a tip from me

^D#Climb up to her window ledge or you'^D#Mll forever be Just walking under ladders as the people round you hear you cry^A#ing please" D# A# A, G#, G as the people round you hear you crying please"

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 ----------------------------------3.Horror Show----------------------------- Intro: C,C,C (pause) (x4) C,G,Bb, (x3)[incredibly fast playing here] C,G verses

How i ch^Gerish you my l^Aove ^GWhat can you want now you'^Gmve got it all ^DShe says it's obscene ^F#MTime will strip it away ^GA year and a day A (HOLD) And Bill Bones Bill Bones he knows what I mean

Yes it's eating no it's chewing me up It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood Oh it's all It's all in my hands And its all up the walls The stale chips are up and the hopes stakes are down Its these ignorant faces that bring this town down Yeah I sighed and sunken with pride You know passed myself down on my knees Yes I passed myself down on my knees What can you want now you've got it all She says it's obscene Time will strip it away A year and a day And Bill Bones Bill Bones he knows what I mean There are fewer more distressing sights than that Of an Englishman in a baseball cap Yeah we'll die in the class we were born That's a class of our own my love Were in a class of our own my love Did you see the stylish kids in the riot We were shovelled up like muck Then set the night on fire Wombles bleed truncheons and shields You know I cherish you my love Oh how I cherish you my love.
