It's a god-awful small affair

And her daddy has told her to go

Now she walks through her sunken dream.
G#m Gaug B
To the seat with the clearest view
C#
And she's hooked to the silver screen
[Pre-Chorus]
C#aug C# F#m
But the film is a saddening bore

cause she's seen it ten times or more

She could spit in the eyes of fools
C
As they ask her to focus on
[Chorus]

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
G#m7 Gaug F#
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
F#m C#m7
It's the freakiest show

From Ibiza to the norfolk broads

Rule Britannia is out of bounds
C#
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
[Pre-Chorus]

As I ask you to focus on
