Verse
C#m B
Yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter
A
Cutting
E B A B G#
And as the signals took an age to change it was
G#7
Easy pickings
A
So you go to the movies where they smash it up
B
You want to feel your heart pumping it makes
You feel good
E B
All through the karaoke girls were squealing
The hits
E B G# G#7
As another Mercedes-Benz gets blown to bits
C#m B
While all the time in the camp town theaters
A
Of Piccadilly
E B A
They're going to throw a black-face minstrel
B G#
Show for the barefoot children
G#7
That they're always selling
A
They'll say "It's quaint" as the guilty ones faint
B
And claim they ain't underneath this paint
E B
We interrupt these liberal saints with their
A G#
Whips and watermelon
[Chorus]
C#m A F#m B
Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
C#m A F#m B
It's like another world, or it had better be
C#m B
So we return to whitewashed pout of his
A
Committed lips
E B A
Since he was declared the long lost fountain
B G# G#7
Of youth that drips and drips and drips
A
They'll be sending him round from door to door
B
To sell you back what's already yours
E B
"So many good deeds, so little time"
E B G# G#7
Say the advertising agency swine
A
When man has destroyed what he thinks he owns
B
I hope no living thing cries over his bones
E B
If you don't believe that I'm going for good
E B
You can count the days I'm gone and chop up
G# G#7
The chairs for firewood
[Chorus]
C#m A F#m B
Reports are coming in of a coal-train robbery
C#m A F#m B
It's like another world, or it had better be
