theres a hole in my head

and treat me a like a fool
[Verse 2]

they froth at the mouths

and call me a clown

for jumping through their hoops

and standing on their shoes
[Chorus]

but don't be sad

and don't be sad OOOOO
B G#m E
it’ll never last

C#m G#m
and buy expensive boots

to walk straight through the scene
E
smash snails to smithereens
[Verse 4]

you call your love a lie

a choke of desire

with a brain your couldn't beat

and hands as soft as feet

and don't be sad OOOOO

it’ll never last

until you run and get the kids to lick the bottoms of their lips

and they stare straight at the sun

and down the barrel of the gun

you point it up you point it down

family all around

they've got you by the neck

its never fair

to see their smiles everywhere

but your face looks like a clowns

paint it up and paint it down

each morning of each day

its the last song left to sing

you pretty little thing.
