C F9
Pale, pubescent beasts roam through the
G Am7
streets and coffee-shops
Dm7 F
Their prey gather in herds of stiff knee-length
Eb9 Db9
skirts and white ankle-socks
C F9
But while they search for a mate my type hiber-
G Am7
nate in bedrooms above
D7 F9 F/G C
Composing their songs of love
(as verse 1)
Young, uniform minds in uniform
lines and uniform ties
Run round with trousers on fire and signs of
desire they cannot disguise
While I try to find words as light as the
birds that circle above
To put in my songs of love
[Chorus]
Ab Fm6 C Am7
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Ab Fm6 C/G G
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
C F9
So sing while you have time
G Am7
Let the sun shine down from above
D7 F9 F/G C
And fill you with songs of love
[Instrumental] (based on verse)
[Chorus]
Ab Fm6 C Am7
Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Ab Fm6 C/G G
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
C F9
So let's sing while we still can
G Am7
While the sun hangs high up above
D7 F9 F/G Am Am/G
Wonderful songs of love
D7/F# F9 F/G C
Beautiful songs of love
