Chords for Blitz - New Age

_ _ _ _ [D] It's when I hear the sound of fingers feeling the heat
That I start to feel [A] a little pain
I'm a half a small dollar dollar
But my vision is gone
[D] I'm a pirate ship in the far-off horizon
In the great American
[A] Many took away the things we got here
And all that's left of me is the suffering in my [G] head
I'm a jet [A] from the street
I'm a jet [G] everywhere
_ Like [A] a
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I hear _
A picture of love
_ [A] I feel a pain
I hope they call out
_ [D] When you're comfy darling
There's a tougher machine
You better come and help me
When [A] you're comfy running
With my own back
You know you're comfy but I'm not a
[G] I'm a jet
[A] _
I'm a jet [G] everywhere
_ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ Like a
_ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I hear
The sound of fingers feeling the heat
That I start to feel [A] a little pain
I'm a half small dollar dollar
But my vision is gone
[D] I'm a pirate ship in the far-off horizon
In the great American
I feel a [A] pain
And what's left of me
Is the suffering in my head
[G] I'm a jet [A] from the street
I'm a jet [G] everywhere
_ Like a
When I hear the [D] click of a
_ _ [G] I'm a jet _ [B] _
_ _ [G] everywhere
Like a
[A] When I hear the click of [D] _ _ _ [B] _ a [G] Very lively
It says on your t-shirt
Blitz voice of a generation
What's the voice saying?
What's the voice saying, Karl?
[Ab] I don't know
Well I mean, and that song
What do you think it's [G] saying?
I have no idea, but I first haven't met you
Have you listened to the album?
I've never heard the album
The song you've just played is New Age, right?
Yeah, yeah
There's all this sort of
What is it, a facade that you're trying to
You've got [D] something for the kids, some sort of [Eb] answer
Is that just a facade in that you're making money out of it?
Or have you got an answer?
No
No, we haven't got an [G] answer
But nobody else has, who pretends that they have
So why voice of a generation?
I mean it sounds great, but what's behind it?
What's the generation saying?
It is the voice of a generation, isn't it?
Like in all the papers you had
I mean that's just a middle [Ab] class paper
That ain't the voice of a [Gm] generation
It's the voice of a few art students [G] pissing about
That's not really the voice of [Gm] a generation
So the voice is saying nothing, yeah, okay, fair enough
What about the fact, are you happy about the fact that
You prospect every night, or when you're playing?
Is that you're playing to a lot of
Bob and [G] Spike, yes, the same old crowd, the same thing
How do you know I'm playing to them?
Have you been to a Blitzkrieg?
You told me, I'm going to one
I haven't just told you, have I?
You certainly have, pal When?
So is it, I mean you're playing to a punk audience, right?
You're playing to an athlete
What's the punk audience?
No, [E] what's punk? _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ At the end [D] of the day, the music's the same as it [G] was in 1977
All the arguments that are made against heavy metal
Could be attributed to this, right or wrong
It's stuck in a rut, right?
It could be attributed [Eb] to the Pale Fountains and the Cabaret Bonsaire
It's not stuck in a rut because we're making a [Abm] living out of it, [Gm] that's not it, is it?
It must be, I mean [Gb] music, it's the same old thing _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I am, _ I am, I am, I _ [C] am
_ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_that
was released earlier this year
I want to go on from there, [D] I need the chance to go on from [G] there
When do you back your actions?
[D] I'm with you, [Eb] I'm back _
[G] Tell me, what?
Tell me [Db] this is bad
But [E] if you go up your own arm and go
All artists party like the people that are getting into the [G] African and the Asian rhythms, [Gm] right?
And saying it's new, and it's not new, [G] it's crap
Well that's your opinion
No, I'm not saying what you're doing is bad
I'm just saying that are you happy to be stuck in a rut?
We're not stuck in a rut, no, we're changing
So what are you going to be doing next year?
You were doing this last year
You say this sound is different now
This is different from, it's difficult talking to you about it because you haven't listened to the album
It's difficult for me because that would have stuck in 1977, bang on
You could have been there at the Vortex
_ _ Look at some of the attitudes they get in modern music today though
You're not saying anything, you're trying to say that our albums are valued, right?
But it is a voice of generation, if you just look what it's about
It's about threatening to be walled, right?
All that
About being unemployed, right?
It might not be trending to go on about it anymore, which it isn't, right?
_ _ By all these [Gm] newspapers, right?
They're not giving that angle at all, they're all just desperate inside, like Berlin before the war
And [G] look what happened to that
All this is, I mean it's
Have you got any alternatives?
Well, I've got one alternative, yeah
For a start off, by being what I consider and many other people, stuck in a rut
As much as the music's alright, he's stuck in a rut
It's like an ostrich with his head in the sand, I mean _
So what you're saying, all this is entertainment, you're not providing any answers
No, what we're saying is, there's no answers to be found
It's not my answer to provide answers, is it?
Pardon?
It's not my answer to provide answers
So's is it, politicians, is it evidence?
No, they're not any answers, they're the questions
Exactly, the evidence
Yeah, but you're not making it, I can't even tell what you're saying
So, I mean that's an old thing that when everybody [Ab] used to say that to Joe Strummer
He'd say, well, it don't matter
But it does matter now, we wanna know what you're saying
[F] Well, now it doesn't matter
[G] Tell me what it is
Now it's really hip to be passionate with decadence
I'm bothered about the music from the point of view, if there's anything of any meaning behind it
You say it's not
One minute you're saying to me that it's entertainment
Then the next minute you say there's something behind it
And apparently, you can't say what?
It's like, the trouble with all this [Gm] is that what comes across is one facet, right?
[G] Like a diamond
You just get one playing, but there's loads of different playing
Okay
Is that fair enough?
It's fair, so I_
So what I'm saying is, we only get the chance to come across with a single playing one thing
That's part of a great big thing, which is what the Blitz is about
And if you start going, pissing about with all this superficial decadent crap
Which is hip at the moment 500 years
Yeah, you put like really shitty playing in it
You're bringing that [Gm] in, I'm not bringing that in
And then you put a message on the top
And only people are going to listen to you are the [D] people that already agree with you, anyway
