I am the raping sunglass gaze
Of sweating man escort agencies
60's alienation the anthem of care
Now a knife constantly slashing eyelids

[CHORUS]
Riff 1
Slavery to the beat
Riff 1
Slavery to the chord
Riff 1
Slavery to the pleasure
[Bb]Slavery to the god
Riff 1
Slavery to the beat
Riff 1
Slavery to the chord
Riff 1
[Bb]Slavery to the god
[BRIDGE]
[Em]They dig the new scene and their[C] parties
[Em]Where stonehenge is worshipped and drugs [C]a diety
[Em]Vicarious thrills re[C]-run their youth
Riff 1
We follow we have no voice the dead
[VERSE 2] (same as verse 1)
Radio nostalgia is radio death
I wanna cover diamonds on my wife
Hardrock nostalgia the stones on CD
Tranquilised icons for the sweet paralysed
REPEAT CHORUS
[BRIDGE] (same as first bridge)
So cool the new sound of the decade
Thinks it's so fresh not a post elvis still
All taste is nothing old pictures blow dried
Rebellion it always sells at a profit
[VERSE 3] (same as verse 1)
I am a face of fashion in soho square
My tie is Paul Smith of Gaultier
My cheeks blood red as my favourite port
But hey cocaine keeps cholesterol at bay
REPEAT CHORUS then PM A5
Riff 3 x3
[OUTRO] (Repeat riff 3 over this)
