_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] Distant echo [A] of faraway voices,
[G] floating faraway trains _ _ to take them [Am] home to
the ones that they love and who [G] love them forever. _ _ _
[Am] _ Replace [F#] 30 steps, [Am] _ repeat [D] my own and [G] reflect my thoughts, _ _ _ _
[Am] _ cold and [E] _ [A] uninviting, _ partially naked,
Mr.
Font, top [Bm] of your head, was at a small-nosed papers,
[C] Mr.
[D] Jones got run down, [G] headlines of death [Bm] and soul,
they tell [C] of tomorrow, madmen on the right [A] page,
[G] and I'm down in [D] a twist, they shut them in their [C] head. _ _
[D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Fumble [D] for change, [A] _ _ pull out the [Am] queen,
[G] _ smiling, beguiling, [A] I [G] put [A] in the money,
[Am] _ and pull out the [Am] plumb, [G] behind me,
_ _ [Am] _ whispers in the [A] shadows,
_ ruffles of [F#] voices, [G] hate you, waiting,
_ _ [Am] _ wait for [D] it, exhale, _ _ [A] have you got any money?
And I [G] say, I've only seen money [Bm] and a takeaway [C] curry,
I'm on my way home [D] to my wife,
[G] she'll be lining up a [Bm] cup to read a note,
she's expecting [C] me, polishing her glasses,
[D] and pulling out the [G] coat,
I'm down in a twist, [D] they shut them in their head.
[C] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I [D] first felt a fist, [A] _ [Am] and then a dick,
I [G] could now smell their breath,
_ _ [A] _ the smell of [Am] pubs, and wormwood scraps,
and too [G] many right wing meetings,
_ [Am] _ my life swam [A] around me,
it took a look at it, [F#] drowned me in its [G] own existence, _
_ _ [Am] _ the smell of brown [A] leather, _
even in any weather,
_ [G] filled my eyes, it's not [Bm] a matter of love,
some [C] are sexist,
quick, let's see,
[D] speaking of love,
[G] I'm down in [D] a twist, they shut them in their head.
[C] _ _ _
[D] I said I'm [G] walking, and they [Bm] shut them in their head.
[C] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ The last letter, [Bm] something lying there on the [C] floor,
Jesus Christ, my death, my [D] life, _
[G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] I'm down in a twist, they shut [B] them in their [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _

head.
