leaves on the lawn.
Violence at bus stops,
and a pale thin girl with eyes for long,

Violence at dole queue's
and a pale thin girl behind the check out
but if you're looking for a cheap sort
that's in false anticipation

canons at dawn

canons at dawn
coffee wallows and pith helmets
and oh that English sun

glint with perspiration
theres a four mile queue outside the dissused power station
so come away, oh wont you come away
we'll go to
G (hammer on the 2nd fret on the A string
pitford, wotford, oldham, fathom, sathholm, oh
anywhere in the abion
intro x4
but if you're looking for a cheap sort
glint with perspiration
i'll be waiting in the photo booth at the underground station
so, come away, wont you come away
we'll go to,
(Then in love with a feeling starts up)

3. A Little Death Around the Eyes
INTRO

...A little death around the eyes
for Gm7:

for Cm7:

take your medicine, your hotel room thats your medicine,
better end, on all fours thats your medicine
your boyfriends name was dave, but i was bold and brave,
and now your mine,
you cook and clean and sew when i want you to,
dance and fuck and screw when i want you to, if i ask you to,
your boyfriends name was dave, i was bold and brave,
(Intro for Arcady)

In Arcadia life trips along
It's pure and simple as a shepards song
Seraphic pipes along the way in Arcady
In Arcady
Never saw I such a scene
Such maids upon such a molten green
They employ their holiday with dance and game
And things I may never name
In Arcady
You said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and wise
But now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self regard in your eyes
In Arcady
So you see how twisted it becomes
See how quickly twisted it becomes
When the cat gut binds my ankles to your bedstead
That ain't love, no that ain't love
4. (2 second) in love with a feeling

He is stronger than the walls, that you tried to build around him,

Screaming bloody murder,

2000 years they have waited for this call, screaming from the windows,
Screaming bloody murder,

good luck to bilo whose gone on the run,
they were suspicious so bilo killed every one
10. New love Grows on trees
Are you still talking to
All of those dead film starts like you used to
And are you still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes and perfect crimes
Oh, like you used to.
If you're still alive
when you're 25
shall i kill you like you asked me to?
If you're still alive
when you're 25
shall i kill you like you told me to
But i really don't want to.
I rememeber every single thing you said to me
You, a man of the calvary
You said, You said new love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on...
New love grows on...
E(hendrix chord) G7 A7
trees.
(repeat E9 G7 A7)
Are you still shaking out
all of your deadwood from your bed, love.
Well times don't change.
Are you still thinking of
All those pretty rhymes for love divines.
Oh no you really dont have to.
If you're still alive
When you're 25.
Shall i kill you like you asked me to?
If you're still alive
when you're 25
shall i kill you like you told me to?
But i really don't want to.
I rememeber every single thing you said to me
You played the man in the calvary
You said new love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on...
New love grows on...
trees.

INTRO

My darling Clementine you know I love you
and darling Clemenitine you know i do
i bless and curse the day i found you
and wonder why
intro
I got lost in the wonderland around you
sitting through the city in a yelow old van with you
the hours not wise, she shoots up my spine
What kind of fool am i?
G7 A7(play ska chords)
But you're always welcome here
I keep love handy, I keep it near
And I take note of all of your witty ripostes
followed by the famous quotes and
if i say I care, I really mean it
she´s got the money and
she, she´s moving on
she, she´s thinking on"
thinking on all the good advice, as theres rarely good advice.
(Intro over the top)
the man with the golden arm rarely deals a joker
but he kept two aside just for you
you burnt your finger in the fire ... ow
12 Arcady

In Arcadia life trips along
It's pure and simple as a shepards song
Seraphic pipes along the way in Arcady
In Arcady
Never saw I such a scene
Such maids upon such a molten green
They employ their holiday with dance and game
And things I may never name
In Arcady
You said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and wise
But now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self regard in your eyes
In Arcady
So you see how twisted it becomes
See how quickly twisted it becomes
When the cat gut binds my ankles to your bedstead
That ain't love, no that ain't love
13. He will fall
intro

we´ve been running round this world too much girl
trying not to see, but no freer then we can see again
Now the old corruptiors packed his ransom sack
Buttoned his dirty mac
He won't be coming back with us,
no He won't be welcomed back
Oh you,
you never show your face no more,
slam the door
Changes often slowy on your way to the top
but if oh if you should fall
i vow today to pay tomorrow
the debts you owe to sorrow
we've been running round this world too much girl
trying not t- ow!!

East of Eden:
I've been wandering east of Eden
Been lost, cold, lonesome as a sparrow in the rain
I found myself tumbling to a sinking feeling oh lor
When someone said I done gone wrong,
i dont feel no shame
I'll be leaving town on the very next train
dont wait for me little girl,
cause I won't be coming this way again
And it ain't nobody's business if I do
There's a slow train rumblin' east of a place called Eden
feel wind blowin' in proud as the trees upon the plain
a stranger's voice talked to me
Of liberty and freedom
It seems like he done gone wrong again
to a girl wears the hat like shame
Well he tasted the fruit of another
And when his margy when she discovered
Said she's gonna love him ten times more
Ain't nobody's business if she do
(eh what id she say to him
He said 'some men born rich, some men born poor,
But they're rich in other ways'
Into my heart his wisdom poured
It's no good crumblin, making tracks to live
Wel I laid my love down in the light
but should've seen all the things my shadow did
The filth and the fury, the fear and the pain
It's all disappearing now faster than the smoke from this old train
And it ain't nobody's business if it do
(one more time)
Ain't nobody's business if it do
