[E] In the town where I was [A]born lived a [F#m]man who went to [B]work
And he [E]told us of his [A]life building [E]spaceships on forty pounds a [A]week.
And he'd [E]take us all for [A]rides, and we'd [E]do some serious [A]drugs in
[E]On board the [A]Enterprise Allowance we could [E]do whatever we [A]liked.
And we could [E]go to a Meadowlark[A] Lemon seminar,
[E]Be at the Tony Mo[A]nopoly incident,
[E]Sort a strobe for [A]Connie Plank,
E A E A (rpt instr)
Shop around with Johnny Kwango.
[E]If you would come with me to [A]Dawlish

I'd be like Stadler's caddy for ya.
And we'd re[E]turn in time for [A]tea and our [E]dads would not have [A]inklings
[E]Said we'd been to [A]organise a frisbee compe[E]tition
With the Gypsies down the [A]road.
[E]D'ya wanna swap a [A]hundred spandex overcoats
[E]For the mental [A]age of a haversack

It's been like this since we saw PragVEC at the Melkweg.
Oh I [B]doctored my edible [A]thong with listeria
Now my [B]only hope is that your [A]offspring walks backwards

And then the [E]band began to play.
