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

F# Bm

F# Bm
so i will lay the table but i will not sing
Bm
and i will not sing
Bm G
please dont make me sing.
D A
please dont make me try.
[Verse]
Bm
because i like this stuff, i like the playing
G
especially with people paying
F#
but its all too much, i cant seem to care,
Bm
it must be something in the english air
Bm
it must be something that i’m doing wrong
G
because im always singing the same old song
F#
and im always breaking the same old heart
Bm
that i carry round in this soulless cart.
