    B              A      B
Forgive me if I'm out of order
  B               A      B
this new "music" has no soul.
     B              A      B
It may be good for making money,
   B            A      B
(sadly that is not my goal).

   G           F#           E                   A     B
Integrity and honesty are words that you don't understand,
     G                     F#            E              A       B
but you're the best - it says so in the penny dreadful in your hand.

[Chorus]
   
   B              A   B
I saw you in the magazine,
         B              A   B
they're calling you messiah.
         B          A     B
They must be living in a dream 
       B                A B
they couldn't be more wrong.


[Riff]


[Bridge]
 A      
If we'd played this riff more punk,
                                      B
than may be we'd have had a million seller.
          A
But this piper's tune is not for sale,
                                       B
(I'm glad to say I'm not that kind of fella).
 D
D.J.s, V.J.s, pimps and trollops,
                               B      
never mind music - this is bollocks.

   B              A   B
I saw you in the magazine,
         B              A   B
they're calling you messiah.
         B          A     B
They must be living in a dream 
       B                A B
they couldn't be more wrong.

  G        F#       E       A    B
Turn on, tune up, cash in, sell out.
  G        F#       E       A    B
Turn on, tune up, cash in, sell out.


   B                 A        B
Stand your ground behind the times
  B             A      B
and refuse to follow fashion
   B             A      B
Write your poetry with anger,
   B               A      B
(and then sing it with a passion).

  G           F#             E             A       B
Painted faces in a circus - images that spring to mind,
 G               F#              E                  A       B
when I read my penny dreadful filled with pictures of your kind.


B              A   B
I saw you in the magazine,
         B              A   B
they're calling you messiah.
         B          A     B
They must be living in a dream 
       B                A B
they couldn't be more wrong.

    A
Commercial suicide's appealing after
                            B
ten years on this losing streak.
             A
'Cause I'd rather be called sour and bitter
                                   B
then be deemed the flavour of the week.

B              A   B
I saw you in the magazine,
         B              A   B
they're calling you messiah.
         B          A     B
They must be living in a dream 
       B                A B
they couldn't be more wrong.


Extra, extra, read all about it!
