[Intro]

[Verse 1]
GI think we need Emmore posGt-coital aBmnd lEmess post-Grock
CFeels like the bGuild-up takes foCrever, but you Gnever getC me off
YouG pull your dress over your face
AndG I stare down towards my cAhest
ChaAstise both our greasy hair, wonder whose gut is the sofGtest
Stand with my ear to the door, listening to the landing floAorboards
Working out when we'll be safe
To dEmash from maAttress Dto your bGathroom
Where I bBmall my fingers into fiGsts
Until my knCuckles glow bright whGite
Press the heeEmls into eye-sockets 'til I see the flashing lights
StoGp me when my stories change
When they have started to repCeat
'Cause last Gtime I was a meAss of sEmleep, of iDcy feet
[Chorus]
SoC bEmaby, aGll apoCloGgies
ItC was going to BmhapEmpenGm, ineviDtably, oGh
Bm G C G A Bm Gm Em A G D C G
[Verse 2]
I think we need mEmore posEt-coitalEm and less postG-rock
Feels like the buiCld-up takes foGrever, but you neCver touch my cGock
And what exaEmctly do you meanG nowEm by, "What can you even eGat?"
And how doCes that affGect how I'll geCt off this eveGning?
[Verse 3]
I Gflew down south to Mexico, had a minor realisation
I understood why kids Adraw the sun with its rays emanating
And Gthe beams broke the clouds, the sky looked like a concertina
I'd sat on in my poAcket for weeks, folded up from a picAmture
IG've been playing Straight Chicken with gay girls, it's never enough
She keeps on pulling the peCace sign and it seems likGe a taunt
She licked a glaze on her lips, they shone like BaAttleship GGmrey
She never liked the wEmisdom I gave
"SGome people give themselves to religion A
SoEmme people give thGmemselves to a cause G
SoCme people give themselves to a loGver
I hAave to give myself to goaDls"
[Chorus]
SoC bEmaby, aGll apoCloGgies
ItC was going to BmhapEmpenGm, ineviDtably, oGh
AnCd if it helps,Em I mean, even sClightly at aGll
It's best to dusCt yourself downG and get straight Emback on tDhe horse
[Verse 4]
I coGndescend a smDile and wink direGctly at the caCmera
I leGave you led inD both our scents as I tiBptoe out the baEmckdoor
I skGid down icy stDreets and view myG face in the rCeflection
Of aG High Street lingeriDe store though it waEmsn't my inteCntion
I phone my friends and family to gather 'round the television
The talA5king heads count dDown
The most heart-Gwrenching breEakDups of all time
ImGagine the great sDense of waste
The indiE5gnity, the embarrDassment
When nEot a single one of that whole century was mine
