4.33 AM Running Shoes

^Am So I stood by the roadside The soles of my r^Funning shoes gripping the tarmac Like gunmetal m^Amagnets ^F F^Amixed on the front of her Fassbinder face Was the k^Find of a smile That only a rather dull c^Amhild could have drawn While attempting a graveyard in the m^Foonlight B^Amut she was impressed You could see that she thought I looked f^Fine And w^Amhen she turned sweeter The reason (between you and m^Fe) was She'd just seen my green Lamborg^Amhini ^F

So we w^Cent for a spin in the c^Amountry To f^Ceel the wind in our h^Amair To f^Ceel the power of my ^Amengine C Am C Am C... To feel the thrill of desire And th^Fen in the trees I h^Ceard a twig snap W^Farning lights flashed on my m^Cap I ^Fopened my eyes and t^Co my surpr^Fise

Arabs with Knives and West German Skies ----------------------------------------

Hey girl As I've always said I prefer your lips red Not what the good Lord made But what he intended Hey girl Don't point the finger at me I am only a rat in a maze like you And only the dead go free So...please hold my hand As we blunder through the maze And remember Nothing can grow without rain (Thunder)

The Remains of Our Love ------------------------

^G I just cowered in the c^Emorner My pyj^Gama coat over my h^Emead And she sm^Giled as she finished her s^Emandwich

G Em

And her c^Fold eyes fixed me to my d^Cark histor^Fy As she br^Gushed the remains Of our l^Fove from the b^Ced And wh^Cen she had turned back the c^Amovers When ^Call of the prayers had been r^Amead She said "C^Fome on over here you silly boy Before you c^Fatch your death of cold I was only j^Coking Let's l^Feave behind the city grime Let's not comp^Fete It could be fine in the c^Country C^Gouldn't it though...come ^Fon lets go C F C F...

To r^Geach for the pie in the sky Go fishing my boy! ^Cm

Bsus4 B Cdim Bsus4 B Em C D

We set^Bsus4 out in the spring With a trunk full of books about ^Deverything About ^Bsus4solar devices And how nice natural ch^Dildbirth is We ^Cdimcut down some trees

And we trailed our ideals

Through the ^Bsus4forest glade ^B We ^Cdimdammed up the stream

And the kids cooled their heels

In the ^Bsus4fishing pool we'd made ^B ^Em We held hands and we^Em/D exchanged bands And we pr^Cactically lived off the l^Dand You a^Bsus4dopted a fox cub Whose mother was somebody's c^Doat You^Bsus4 fed him by hand

And then snuggled him down

In the gr^Dandfather bed while I wrote We ^Cdimgrew our own maize And I only occasionally ^Bsus4went into town To s^Cdimtock up on antibiotics And shells for the s^Bsus4hotgun that I kept ar^Bound I t^Emold the kids stories while^Em/D you worked your loom And the s^Cun went down sooner each d^Day. ^G *Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday A^Cnd gets two presents Daddy.^D..co^Gme on dad

Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side

Of the str^Ceam and he looked at himself in the water "Pathetic" he said, "Th^Dat's what it is" ^Bsus4 ^B "Go^Dod morning Eeyore" said Pooh ^Cdim ^Bsus4"Oh" said Pooh, He thought for a long time ^B

Then the ^Bsus4leaves all fell down Our crops all turned brown It was ^Dover As the ^Bsus4first snowflakes fell I realized all was not w^Dell in the camp The ^Cdimkids caught bronchitis The space heater ran out of ^Bsus4diesel ^B One w^Cdimeekend a friend from the East, Rot his soul, stole your ^Bsus4heart ^B I said ^Em "Fuck it then Take the ^Em/Dkids back to town M^Caybe I'll see you ar^Dound"

The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking --------------------------------- Intro: A A G G C Am D D G G

An ^Dmangel on a Harley Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling st^Amone Puts his ^Dmbike up on it's stand

Leans back and then extends

A scarred and greasy ^Amhand...he said ^G How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya g^Coin'? ^Am Then he t^Dakes your hand

In some strange Californian handshake

And breaks the b^Gone Have a nice day A h^Dmousewife from Encino

Whose husband's on the golf course

With his b^Amook of rules Br^Dmeaks and makes a 'U' and idles back To take a second look at y^Amou ^GYou flex your rod Fish takes the h^Cook ^Am Sweet v^Dodka and tobacco in her breath ^G Another number in your little black book

^C These are the pros and cons of ^Emhitchhiking ^C These are the pros and cons of h^Emitchhiking ^D Oh babe, I must be dr^Geaming I'm st^Dmanding on the leading edge The Eastern seaboard spread before my ^Ameyes "J^Dmump" says Yoko Ono "I'm too scared and too good looking" I cr^Amied "^GGo on", she says "Why don't you give it a t^Cry? ^Am W^Dhy prolong the agony all men must d^Gie" ^Dm Do you remember Dick Tracy? Do you remember S^Amhane?

And mother wants you

Could you s^Dmee him selling tickets Where the buzzard circles over [S[Am]hane]

The body on the plain

Did you ^Gunderstand the music Yoko Or was it all in v^Cain? [Shane] ^Am The b^Ditch said something mystical "Herro" So I st^Gepped back on the kerb again ^C These are the pros and cons of h^Emitchhiking ^C These are the pros and cons of h^Emitchhiking ^D Oh babe, I must be dr^Geaming again C Em (repeat and fade) These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking

Every Strangers Eyes ---------------------

H^Cello...you wanna cup of coffee? I'm s^Dmorry, would you like a cup of coffee? Ok you take cr^Geam and sugar? In tr^Cuck stops and hamburger joints

In Cadillac limousines

In the company of h^Dmas-beens And bent-backs ^G and sleeping forms

On pavement steps

In l^Cibraries and railway stations In books and banks ^Dm In the pages of history In s^Guicidal cavalry attacks I recognise... ^C ^G/B ^Am ^F Myself in ^Gevery stranger's e^Cyes

And in wh^Ceelchairs by monuments Under tube trains and commuter accidents ^Dm In council care and county courts ^G At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts In dr^Cawing rooms and city morgues

In award winning photographs Of life rafts in the China seas

In tr^Dmansit camps, under arc lamps On unloading ramps ^G In faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognise...^C ^G/B ^Am ^F Myself in ^Gevery stranger's ^Ceyes

And n^Cow from where I s^Ctand Upon this ^Dmhill I plundered from the p^Gool I look ar^Cound, I search the sk^C/Eies I shade my e^Dmyes, so nearly bl^Gind And I see s^Cigns of half re^C/Bmembered d^Amays I hear bells t^Ghat ch^Fime^C/E in str^Dmange familiar way^Gs I recogn^C-a-a-^C/Ba-a-a-^Amise... ^F The hope you k^Gindle in your ey^Ces

It's oh so easy now

As we l^Fie here in the d^Gark Nothing ^Eminterferes it's obvious How to b^Ameat the tears That thr^Dmeaten to snuff out The sp^Gark of our l^Cove

The Moment of Clarity ----------------------

And the m^Coment of clarity Faded like charity d^Amoes

Sometimes I open one eye

And I p^Fut out my hand just to t^Couch your soft hair To make s^Fure in the darkness that y^Cou were still there And I h^Fave to admit I w^Cas just a l^Amittle afr^Gaid, ^F oh y^Ceah But t^Amhen... I h^Fad a little bit of luck

You were awake

I couldn't take another moment al^Cone.
