No Thugs In Our House by XTC From 1982 English Settlement Esus4/F# 2*2*2*2*0*0 Bbdim x*0*2*3*2*x [Intro] E Esus4/F# x10 (repeats throughout verse) [Verse 1]
EThe insect-headed worker wife EWill hang her waspies on the line EThe husband burns his paper, sucks his pipe EWhile studying their cushion-floor EHis viscous poly-paste breath comes out ETheir wall-paper world is shattered by his shout EA boy in blue is busy banging out a headache On the kitchen door
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mAnd all the while AGraham slept on BDreaming of a world where he could Edo BJust what he EwanteBd Eto
[Chorus]
ANo thugs in our house,A/G are there deaFr? We made that cBlear We made little DGraham promise us he'd be a gAood boy ANo thugs in our house,A/G are there deaFr? We made that cBlear We made little DGraham promise us he'd be a gAood boy
E Esus4/F# x4 [Verse 2]
EThe young policeman who just can't grow a moustache EWill open up his book EAnd spoil their breakfast with reports of Asians Who have been so badly kicked EIs this your son's wallet I've got here? EHe must have dropped it after too much beer! EOh, officer, we can't believe our little angel Is the one you've picked!
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mAnd all the while AGraham slept on BDreaming of a world where he could Edo BJust what he EwanteBd Eto
[Chorus]
ANo thugs in our house,A/G are there deaFr? We made that cBlear We made little DGraham promise us he'd be a gAood boy ANo thugs in our house,A/G are there deaFr? We made that cBlear We made little DGraham promise us he'd be a gAood boy
[Bridge]
AThey never read those pamphlets in his bAmaj7ottom drawer BmThey never read that tBbdimattoo on his arm AThey thought that it was just a bAmaj7oys club badge he wore BmThey never thought he'd Bbdimcause folks any harAm
E Esus4/F# [Verse 3]
EThe insect-headed worker-wife EWill hang her waspies on the line EShe's singing something stale and simple ENow this business has fizzled out EHer little tune is such a happy song EHer son is innocent, he can't do wrong E'Cos Dad's a judge and knows exactly What the job of judging's all about
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mAnd all the while AGraham slept on BDreaming of a world where he could Edo BJust what he EwanteBd Eto
[Chorus]
ANo thugs in our house,A/G are there deaFr? We made that cBlear We made little DGraham promise us he'd be a gAood boy ANo thugs in our house,A/G are there deaFr? We made that cBlear We made little DGraham promise us he'd be a gAood boy
