one, two, three, four
[Chorus]
Dm
cold flicker, candle sweating,
A#
thoughts come of fire burning
F C
everything you made will end up broken
Dm
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses
A#
you flirt quick then learn your lesson
F C
she only makes that moaning when she’s faking it
Dm
fake sounds and plastic feelings
A#
freckles and skins all peeling
F C
soon comes the night when i go home.
Dm
Home brings the same old things
A#
hair knots and safety pins
A Dm
a man does the same things she always does
Dm
home brings a lot more things
A#
like sitting up and singing hymns
A Dm
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
Dm
and i will not sing
[Verse]
Dm
And i thought, what will i do?
A#
now ive got no excuse
A Dm
and all this bullshit has landed in my hands
Dm
like i dont want to talk, its not really complicated
A#
i just dont want to talk to you
A Dm
i just dont want to know, the less i know the less i’ll care
Dm
which means i might not say yes
Dm
i mean i wont say no, i never say no
A#
i mean i might say i might
A Dm
but we all know that i really mean no, so why ask?
[Chorus]
Dm
cold flicker, candle sweating,
A#
thoughts come of fire burning
F C
everything you made will end up broken
Dm
cheap thoughts and cheaper dresses

F C

Dm
Home brings the same old things
A#

A Dm

Dm
home brings a lot more things
A#
like sitting up and singing hymns
A Dm
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
Dm
and i will not sing
Dm A#
please dont make me sing.
F C
please dont make me try.
[Verse]
Dm
because i like this stuff, i like the playing
A#
especially with people paying
A
but its all too much, i cant seem to care,
Dm
it must be something in the english air
Dm
it must be something that i’m doing wrong
A#
because im always singing the same old song
A
and im always breaking the same old heart
Dm
that i carry round in this soulless cart.
[Chorus]
Dm
cold flicker, candle sweating,

[Outro]
Dm

Drinking like a skunk drunk

Drinking like a
A# A Dm
Home brings a lot more things
Dm A# A Dm
Drunk drunk drinking like a skunk drunk
A# A Dm
Drinking like a skunk drunk

Home brings a lot more things
A# A Dm
A lot more time to sit and drink
A# A Dm
A lot more time to play it dumb
Dm
Sitting round
Dm
Getting drunk
