one, two, three, four
[Chorus]
D#m
cold flicker, candle sweating,
Cb
thoughts come of fire burning
F# C#
everything you made will end up broken
D#m
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses
Cb
you flirt quick then learn your lesson
F# C#
she only makes that moaning when she’s faking it
D#m
fake sounds and plastic feelings
Cb
freckles and skins all peeling
F# C#
soon comes the night when i go home.
D#m
Home brings the same old things
Cb
hair knots and safety pins
A# D#m
a man does the same things she always does
D#m
home brings a lot more things
Cb
like sitting up and singing hymns
A# D#m
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
D#m
and i will not sing
[Verse]
D#m
And i thought, what will i do?
Cb
now ive got no excuse
A# D#m
and all this bullshit has landed in my hands
D#m
like i dont want to talk, its not really complicated
Cb
i just dont want to talk to you
A# D#m
i just dont want to know, the less i know the less i’ll care
D#m
which means i might not say yes
D#m
i mean i wont say no, i never say no
Cb
i mean i might say i might
A# D#m
but we all know that i really mean no, so why ask?
[Chorus]
D#m
cold flicker, candle sweating,
Cb
thoughts come of fire burning
F# C#
everything you made will end up broken
D#m
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses
Cb
you flirt quick then learn your lesson
F# C#
she only makes that moaning when she’s faking it
D#m
fake sounds and plastic feelings
Cb
freckles and skins all peeling
F# C#
soon comes the night when i go home.
D#m
Home brings the same old things
Cb
hair knots and safety pins
A# D#m
a man does the same things she always does
D#m
home brings a lot more things
Cb
like sitting up and singing hymns
A# D#m
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
D#m
and i will not sing
D#m Cb
please dont make me sing.
F# C#
please dont make me try.
[Verse]
D#m
because i like this stuff, i like the playing
Cb
especially with people paying
A#
but its all too much, i cant seem to care,
D#m
it must be something in the english air
D#m
it must be something that i’m doing wrong
Cb
because im always singing the same old song
A#
and im always breaking the same old heart
D#m
that i carry round in this soulless cart.
[Chorus]
D#m
cold flicker, candle sweating,
Cb
thoughts come of fire burning
F# C#
everything you made will end up broken
D#m
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses
Cb
you flirt quick then learn your lesson
F# C#

D#m
and i will not sing
[Outro]
D#m

Drinking like a skunk drunk
