I tell you a story but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
Bm
It's a story of a coked up pansy
Who spends his nights on flights of fancy
Met two fellas over gin and mixers
They talked for a while and soon got the picture
One was a souped-up Soho mincer
The other was a pikey with a knowledge of scripture
Am
Fm
Then the conversation turned evil (evil)
Am
Fm
Talked and talked and talked about people
What did you do to so many people?
Stumbled let out of the boozer
Three short shots to the leg ah who's a fusilier
Oh I've seen it in another light
With a half ton smile and was looking all right

I heard it said
You had come back from the dead
You were playing so fine
Scooping up the soul of the wine
Now courage my boy
When they look you in the eye
Try not to look too scummy
If you need some money
And you want their money
Now I know...
This ain't no happy place to be
You know they're nice around me
You know they're nice about me
And everyone agrees
About what's won in a year from here, my friend
Promises, promises...
You've heard it all before
But nobody ever
Ever get me more...

That they laugh if they try to be funny
All along...

And coin my words
Oh it's absurd how you get so

Typical tan
Took me in hand
