[Intro]
Bm D A Bm A x1
Bm D A Bm D x2
[Verse 1]
BmOne smoky day in a darkened scullery
DDown by the river in a Afactory town
BmWhere bad things happen & the walls are drippn'
And the Aghosts are flittin' frae the Bmcold hard ground
A pBmot & kettle on the hob were settled
DA' hissin' their patter so Abileous cruel
BmAn awfy matter o' clout & claterin'
DBattlin' Awits in a Bmhideous duel
[Chorus]
LBmids a rattlin' belchin' steam
DLife ain't nothin but a Afevered dream
Bm'You're a lowly villain'
'You're a terrible liar'
D'But we're both here Acookin' on the Bmsame old fire'
GuBmts a bubblin' belchin' steam
DLife ain't nothin but a Afevered dream
Bm'You're a chanty pot'
'And you're a shite for brains'
D'But we're both here Ahangin' on the Bmsame old chains'
[Verse 2]
"I've rBmoasted a wealth of exotic things
DAll torn to ribbons at Athe hands of kings
BmPolished copper how I proudly shone
AStealin the fire of the Bmblazing sun"
Bm"Ye've boilt nae mair'n 'em old soup bones
DI've boilt the tea for Athem stately homes
BmI were rattled like a drum each Hogmanay
DThen scrubbed tae the Adevil on the fBmollwin' day"
[Chorus]
LBmids a rattlin' belchin' steam

"BmO kettle yer metal is a terrible hue
DRiddled wi' holes Acannae hold yer brew
BmYer lids all crooked & yer sides bashed in
DIt'll not be Along afore ye Bmsee the bin"
"PBmot your not so bright as me
DA hags old cauldron is Aall you'd be

DFit for to Acarry but the Bmpeels & dung"
