[C]Hello, good evening, welcome
to [F]nothing much
A [C]no holds barred half nelson
and the [F]loving touch
The [Am]comfort and the [F]joy
of feeling [C]lost
With the [Am]only living [F]boy
in New [C]Cross
(C,F,C,F etc)
[C]Fill another suitcase
with another [F]haul
Of [C]hotel towels and toothpaste
and the [F]bathroom wall
[C]Then wipe the lipstick heart and flowers
from the [F]glass and chrome
Take [C]five or six hot baths and showers
and [F]come on home
To the [Am]comfort and the joy of [F]feeling lost
With the [Am]only living [F]boy
in [C]New Cross
[C]I've teamed up with the hippies now
I've got my [F]fringe unfurled
I want to give [C]peace, love and kisses out
to this whole [F]stinking world
The [Am]gypsies, the [F]travellers and the [C]thieves
The [Am]good, the bad, the [F]average and [C]unique
The [Am]grebos, the [F]crusties, the [C]goths
And the [Am]only living [F]boy
in [C]New Cross
(C,F,C,F)
[C]Eyes down and I'll keep you up to date, Two fat ladies 1988
[F]The safe sixteen lovers who lied , Purleys' queen and mother makes five
[C]Butchered bakers, deaf and dumb waiters
[F]Marble arch criminals and clause 28'ers
[C]Authors, authors, plastered outcasts
[F]Locked up daughters, rock'n'roll stars
[C]Goodbye Rudy, David and Rosie
[F]Abraham and Julianne and everyone who knows me
The [Am]gypsies, the [F]travellers and the [C]thieves
The [Am]good, the bad, the [F]average and [C]unique
The [Am]grebos, the [F]crusties, and you and [C]I
[Am]Hello, good evening, [F]welcome
