A - F#m - C# - D - E
You closed your eye's too soon.

Am a bit sick.
But you seem to like it.

Good God,
My neck's gone numb.
I'll have to move,

But in your eyes,
I can see you like it.

Verse 1
Fm - B#m
All about folding arms and hard stares,
In the club where nobody will dare.
To step out into freezing air.

I bet you won't forget me.

With H.N.D in Chemistry.

In the summer,
When well hot.
There's not much more for one to do.
But sit and sweat and stare at breasts. 
I do like the summer, it' fine.
But, I prefer winter time.

Trying different sizes on.
When dancing with the life you want.

From chewing on the petals of you.

You better brace yourself kid,
The feeling just before falling.

Brace yourself kid,
Brace yourself kid.
The writings on the wall.

Tonight...
And for the rest of your life.

And for the rest of your life.
It's got a grip on you.
There's nothing they can do.


Verse 2
By a rusty gate, you wait.
Come Ambulance, for heavens sake.
Well you've lost a lot of blood son.

All is fair in love and war.
Try telling that to those who fall.
In my mouth I taste the metal,
From chewing on the petals of  love.

It's never ending,
In the eye-ball shop,
Your solid gaze.
Released another one.
So hold me down.


Bridge
I'm missing the point  
Barking up the wrong tree.
When I'm searching for beauty in weird melodies.
Got a frog in my throat and a toad in my soul.
Bleary eye'd  a terrible tooth-ache.
Instead of leaving me alone,
Come to my home
Come to my home
Come to my sweet home.


Chorus
B - F# - A - E
Oh blow,
You've got a lot to say.
Oh blow,
With snakes stuck in your head.
Oh blow,
Is this a new age way,
Oh blow,
To treat the one's who pay your wage.

It's been a while,
Since you last spat out a smile.
Easy to read you,
In the Eye-ball shop.
And solid gazed.
Released another one.
So hold me down.

The patio.

Is built upon a lover's grave.

From window, I see,

To crazy paving,
With stiffs.

Two hearts set in the stone.
Beautiful view,
If only the poor sod's knew,
What lay below,
The patio.

Why not sneeze?

Verse 1.

As Tick follows Tock,
Paper beats the Rock.
Completely aware,
They gather and stare.
And laugh of the time,
You sang Auld Lang Syne.
With Whiskey on breath,
And beats on the chest.

And lesson's been learned.

With loaded guns and Turtle Doves.
And few In - between.

Work hard so you miss,
What's hard to resist.
It could have been great,
It should have been great.
What got in the way?
We got in the way.


Bridge


Chorus
F - B#m
Come now,
You've already won this.
Try to be magnanimous in victory.
A lump on the 'old hello'.
Cuts and Mud cover your hands.
You're a lost objet trouvé,
Gone to see Man about Dog in Con.


(Repeat Verse 1, Bridge, Chorus )


Outro
F - Dm - B#m - C
So it goes, you lost control.
Nice bike but what a horrid fall.
Why not Sneeze?

From a town of Cotton Mouth.
Paint canal, Scowl at South.
Why not Sneeze?
Rose Selavy
Life's sweet, but damn its well heavy.

Riding at Five AM.
Cut down the bird from the street lines.

Was electric.
And a face,
Was electric.
In replace of a real one.
Coz a real one's too greasy.

I Couldn't Be Less In Love With This.

Verse 1
A - Dm - D - E
The Scousers and I,
In Shadow of hillside.
When loading barrel in Van.
There's a place over yonder that no one can build on.
We call it 'New Roll of Film.'
With dread and pride in your eye.
You tell that joke, on the sly.
That me, I find that, I feel more Self-Fulfilled when I steal.

A love of hard action,
A life of sighs.
But as the Skinny one said,
'It puts a roof over my head'

The Scousers and I,
Decide to unwind.
And leave detritus behind.
There's a place far beyond,
A page in the Sun.
We call it 'New Roll of Film.'
With dread and pride in your eye,
You tell that joke on the sly.
That me, I find dat, I feel more Self-Fulfilled when I steal.


Chorus
A love of hard actions.
A life of sighs.
But as the skinny one said, 
'It puts a roof over my head'

Over my head.
Over my head.
Over my head.
Light arrives,
Head explodes.

Crawl outside.

Head explodes.
Damn the over-all,
Curse outside.
I couldn't be less in love with this.


Over my head.

Unlike his brothers
Got banged up inside.

With Cats

Verse 1
D - A - Em - G


In bed, she's wondering,
Why loud music plays from below.
Instead of drudgery, 
Should I be living on my own?
In my own feline home.


Bridge
D - A - G - Em


I'd give 'em shelter,
plenty milk for 'em to drink.
There'd be Bacharach a playin,
Not this God infernal din.
And that time won't mean that much to me,
I'll take it on the chin.


Verse 2


Back late and stumbling.
She calls those who know her too well.
Black tongue, from red wine.
Should I be living on my own?
In my own feline home.

Plenty milk for 'em to drink.
There'd be Bacharach a playin,
Not this god infernal din.
And that time won't mean that much to me,
I'll take it on the chin.


Chorus
G - Em


Oh... Give over girl.
Oh... What's done is done.
Oh... Give over girl.

But mind is lovely.
Should I be living on my own?
In my own feline home.

Been there, done that,
Had a blast.

The Swimming Whale

Verse 1


E - C# - A


So still without it,
And smoke to much without it.
Still tied, to Whale swim under.
Who cares of feeling,
When hanging from the ceiling.
In short, patience had run its course.


Chorus


E - C#m - F#m - B


I'm feeling better now
I'm killing in the City.
No real reason, I just wanna hear a screaming,
Tram passing, an awful sound.
Too much style, not enough grace.
Swiss, Humanist Typefaces,
Are under with The Swimming Whale,
With The Swimming Whale.


Verse 2


And rip the heart out,
Of Men, Women and Children.
To find, new meaning in my life.
When fog, gets thicker.
Head heavier with liquor.
I'm tied to Whale swim under.


Chorus 


I'm feeling better now,
I'm killing in the City.
No real reason I just wanna hear a screaming,
Tram crashing, through Library.
Too much style, not enough grace.
Swiss Humanist Typefaces,
Are under with The Swimming Whale
With The Swimming Whale.


Outro


E - F#m - C#m


Wha - wha - whale
Wha - wha - whale
Wha - when everything breaks.
Hold up my hands,
Give up the chase.


So Still, without it.
