It cant be hard for her to get a buzz
Down in the street below
You can hear the drunken prophet sing
"I know whats on your mind my boy

Or was it my soul?
---------------------------2.Death On The Stairs----------------------------
[A#]From way far across the sea
[F]Came an eritsean maiden she
[Gm]Had a one track mind and eyes for me
[Gm]Half blinded in the war
[Cm]With a pale young anglican
[F]Who said he'd help her all he can
[A#]Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy frie[D#]nd
[Cm]She had no mind to please him
[F]Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him b[A#]ehind
There's a little boy in a stairwell who say
"I hate people like you"
Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p
We all clambered over the balcony
Banging on the window waking steve
Bringing with a new love his un-holy friend
If you really need it you mustn't leave it behind
[A#]Please kill me no [D#]don't kill me
[F]But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see them anymore
[A#]Please kill me no [D#]don't kill me
[F]But don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway
Monkey asked the mouse before
If she loved anybody more than he
It turns you into stone
Now i'm reversing down this lonely street
To a cheap hotel when i can meet the past
And pay it off and keep it sweet
It's sweet like nothing at all
Yes i've seen you there how could i help but stare
It rips the heart out off your body
Now i've taken far too much to think
Or see or touch what's real i'm stranded on this street that
Paved my only way home
You really need it you just won't leave it behind
He got nothing he got nothing at all

you walking like you never seen the light
walking like it every night
but i never seen you laugh and I never heard you cry,
one of those things that darling you might try
(all so rudimentary)
now I'm jealous I'm jealous of my own
I've no homestead but through these hearts I will roam...
and they all get them out etc...

Oh my good old friend i see you chanced your arm again

Took afternoon tea with her mejesty the queen
And they watched old films flicker across the old palace movie screen
Crying what a shame as Julie slipped in the rain
The poor dancing girl she wont dance again
And they said it was a transmission to take my love my love to you
