_ He's got all the things a cripple [Gm] has not.
Two [Bm] working [G] arms and legs.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ Vital parts fall from his [Gm] system and dissolve [Bm] in Scottish [G] rain.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ Though vitally he doesn't [Gm] mess with me, he's too [Bm] fucked up [G] to care.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ Is that you in front of [G] me? _
Coming [D] back for even more, exactly [Bm] the same.
You [D] must be a [G] masochist.
You'll love a [D] modern leper in his [Bm] last leg, on his [D] last.

_ _ [D] _ Is that you in front of [G] me?
_ Coming back [A] for even more, exactly [Bm] the same.
_ You [D] must be a [G] masochist.
You'll love a [A] modern leper on his [Bm] last leg.
[G] I [D] am ill, but I'm not [G] dead.
And I don't know [A] which of those I'd [Bm] prefer.
Because that [D] limb which I have [G] lost,
is the [A] only thing holding [Bm] me up, [G] holding [D] me _
_ _ [A] _ [Bm] on.
_ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ I'm lying on the ground [A] now, nearly walking [Bm] through the old [G] mead bar.
[D] _ _ I have lost my eyesight, like [A] I said I would, [Bm] but I still [G] _ _ _ know.
_ [Gbm] That [D] that is you in front of [G] _

You'll love a modern [A] leper on his [Bm] last leg.
[G] And you're [D] ill, and I'm not [G] dead.
_ But doesn't [A] that make us the [Bm] perfect pair?
[G] And you should sit with [D] me, and we'll start [G] again.
_ And you can [A] tell me all about what you [Bm] did today.
[G] What you did [D] today. _ _
