[Intro]
D
[Part 1]
D
History repeats the old conceits
G
The glib replies, the same defeats
D
Keep your finger on important issues
F
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues
[Part 2]
D
I'm just the oily slick
G
On the windup world of the nervous tick
D F
In a very fashionable hovel
[Part 3]
D
I hang around dying to be tortured
G
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
D/F# F
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel
[Part 4]
D G
So in this almost empty gin palace
D/F#
Through a two-way looking glass
F
You see your Alice
[Part 5]
D
You know she has no sense
G
For all your jealousy
D F
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly
[Part 6]
D
Charged with insults and flattery
G
Her body moves with malice
D F
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous
D G D/F#
And now you find you fit this identikit completely
F
You say you have no secrets and then leave discreetly
[Chorus]
G
I might make it California's fault
G
Be locked in Geneva's deepest vault
Bm/F# G
Just like the canals of Mars and the Great Barrier Reef
Dm
I come to you beyond belief
[Part 7]
D
My hands were clammy and cunning
G
She's been suitably stunning
D F
But I know there's not a hope in Hades
D G
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
D F
So called gentlemen and ladies dog fight like rose and thistle
[End]
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
D/F#
Once this seemed so appealing
F
Now I am beyond belief
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
D/F#
Once this seemed so appealing
F
Now I am beyond belief
D
I got a feeling
G
I'm going to get a lot of grief
D/F#
Once this seemed so appealing
F
Now I am beyond belief
