[D] Let me carry [Bm] your burden.
[G] [D]
Something's not right I won't let [Bm] you know.
[G] Burden is a song [D] for [B] a [G] friend, a brother.
[Gm] It's a song [Bb] that [G] I wrote for someone [Bm] who
was carrying [G] more than he should have, [D] more than he needed to.
But [G] that's the kind of guy he is.
You know, he feels like he needs to carry everybody's [D] burden.
[Em] You know, so I wrote the
song for him to say, like, you know, every now and then you're going to need your burden [B] carried.
Coco, what do you know?
Do [Gbm] you know that the [E] hills are covered in [Ab] snow?
[Gb] Where does it come from and where does it [B] go?
[E] Tell me do you know Coco?
[Abm]
Coco is written about one of the sweetest wee girls and kookiest wee girls you're [Gb] ever likely
to meet.
[B] Coco Cox [E]
is her name and she's just, [B] yeah, she's dynamite.
I don't know, just there
was something
[E] about her vibe that was, [B]
you know, like talking to Coco, a conversation with [E] Coco
could go anywhere, [B] literally anywhere.
[Ab] Wherever it [Eb] starts, in two minutes time you could [B] be
somewhere you never dreamed of being.
[Dbm] [E]
[B]
[Gb]
[E]
[Bb] She [B] Burns is, I guess, just about, well, falling in love again, really, I suppose.
Long, tall and short of it, you know.
She is a little explosion of hope.
[Gbm] That was that catalyst for the song.
[F] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb]
[F] [Eb]

[Bb] [F]
Revolution's not too [Eb] complex.
You know what?
[Ab] It's about, it's [Eb] about the revolution.
It's about
the revolution that happened [Bb] in music at a time, the revolution [Eb] that is certainly not happening on
a grand scale now.
It used to happen on a grand [Ab] scale.
Tom Perry, Neil Young, Van [Db] Morrison, [Eb] Bob
Dylan, [Fm] Joni Mitchell, [Eb] like the [Ab] list goes on.
What do we have [Db] today?
[G]
[C]
[G] [Em] [C] [G]
[C] [G]
[Am] [G]
[C] [G] Upbeat Feel Good is very [C] easy, [G] actually, to talk about because, I mean, [C] there it is,
Upbeat Feel Good.
[G] It was written about a time when we're discovering love, I guess.
[C]
[G] [C]
Just made a [F] [C] fucking grave, you know, [G] and [Dbm]
everything's all right.
[B]
[Db] [Gb] [Db]
[Ebm] [Db]
[B] [Db]
[Gb] [B]
Well, Banger Town [Db] is clearly an homage to Banger.
I [Gb] know that anybody [B] in the world that turned up
in Banger on a Friday night at about 12 [Gb] would think, [Db] you know, what kind of banger is he talking about?
Like, [B] I know banger can be a terrible place at the minute, at the weekends,
[Gb] but actually, you know, [B] like historically, [Gb] [B] banger was a very peaceful place.
[Gb]
[B] You know, in the Banger Abbey for 250 years, [Gb] seven days a week, 24 hours a day, [B] they were singing.
[Gb] There was [Abm]
Gregorian, would they have been?
Gregorian monks, maybe at the time.
[Gb]
Whatever.
For 250 years, they sang, [B] constant singing, [Gb] devotional singing.
I mean, I'm not a believer
in God, but I am a believer in, you know, something that transcends our own understanding,
and I think [Db] that those guys singing for 250 years [Eb] [B]
solidly [Db] has [Gb] had an impact [Eb] on Banger.

[C] Be Like You Belong is a song to [G] myself, really, you know, like most [F] songs [Bb] for me,
[F] it's catharsis.
[Ab] So, Be Like You Belong, [Bb] I wrote that for myself, really.
[Eb] I try and remind myself [C] that,
[G] did I got belong, you know, [F] to be.
