[Verse 1]
G# D#
You won the battle

Who won the war

Looking down the barrel of a gun that I adore

I cannot feed a fire if I haven't got a lung full

Wake up on Sunday

Without a thought
D# G#
Standing like a pillar in a holiday resort

I swept my ankles cleanly on the cotton sheets that you bought

Hold my face up to the rain

I'll never love you like that again

But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again

Put on my shorts

Romance is a crop that modern culture cannot yield

So I hang up my dancing shoes and then I put up my shield

Spoke to my doctor

He said I've passed my peak

All my eggs are dying
D# G#
In my twenties I'm antique

And I never learned to drive
Fm C C# C#
And I never harnessed my mystique
[Verse 6]
G# D# G#
I spend my days in the solace of my room
G#
Pulling pubic hairs from the crotch
D# G#
Of my swimming costume

And I don't like the president

And I don't like your perfume

If you're ever horny

But I don't mind pretending if I get to hear your voice again
