Lyrics
(F5)Real ly don’t (Cm)mind if you (Bb)sit this one (F)out;
in my (F5)word’s but a (Cm)whis per, your (Bb)deaf ness a (F)shout.
The I (F5)may make you (Cm)feel but I (Bb)can’t make you (F)think;
as your (F5)sperm’s in the (Cm)gut ter, your (Bb)love’s in the (F)sink.
So you ride your selves (C)o ver the (F)fields,
and you (Bb)make all your (C)an i mal (F)deals,
and your (Bb)wise men don’t (C)know how it (F)feels
to be thick as a brick.
And the (F5)sand cas tle (Cm)vir tues are (Bb)all swept a (F)way
in the (F5)ti dal de (Cm)struc tion, the (Bb)mor al me (F)lée.
The e (F5)las tic re (Cm)treat rings the (Bb)close make of (F)play
as the (F5)last wave un (Cm)cov ers the (Bb)new fan gled (F)way.
But your new shoes are (C)worn at the (F)heels,
and your (Bb)sun tan does (C)rap id ly (F)peel,
and your (Bb)wise men don’t (C)know how it (F)feels
to be thick as a brick.
And the
And the (F5)love that I (Cm)feel
is so far a (Gm)way.
I’m a bad dream that I (Dm)just had
to (F)day.
And you shake your (C)head
and said it’s a (F5)shame.
Spin me back down the (Cm)years
and the (Cm)days
of my (Cm)youth.
Draw the lace and black (Cm)cur tains and shut (Cm)out
the (Eb)whole (Cm)truth.
Spin me down the long (Cm)ag es; let them sing the (Cm)song.
