[Intro]
C G F
C G F
[Verse]
C G F
There is something I've been meaning to tell you
C G F
When I die I intend to walk alone
C G F
Through the streets where the corner boys commend me
C G F
For making peace with the inner child from the mobile home
C G F
Now I am handing back the medals that you pinned to my chest,
C
We're at war,
G F
It's not safe out in the open
C G C
And the padlock you are wearing around your neck
C G F
Is a target for the cold, hungry half wits at dawn
C G F
Who are struggling to compose another drinking song
C G F
I feel safe amongst the hawkers and the gawkers
C G F
Telling stories scribbled downon on decks of cards
C G F
Flicking marbles through a mud stained maze of second hand ideas
C G F
You draw a drag whilst admiring the sweet heads
C G F
Of a city in the morning by Jack B Yeats
C G F
Who's that at the door ah it's only reality,
C G F
sure let him in makes sure he wipes his feet clean
C G F
Let us dissect the word from the markets and the factories
N.C. F
Bring me two glasses there is work to be done,
C G F
fetch me two glasses there is work to be done
[Chorus]
C G F
Let us compare Mothers and the madness in their method
C G F
Let us compare Fathers and the shape of their jawlines
C G F
Let us compare regretful sexual encounters
C G
Let us compare addictions, past and present
C G F
Let us compare voices that dance in our heads
C G F
Let us make a pact now, let us spit in our hands
C G F
Let us compare songs that we wish we had written
C G C
Let us console one another.
[Outro]
C G F
There is something I've been meaning to tell you
C G F
When I die I intend to walk alone
C G F
through the streets where the corner boys salute me
C G F
For making peace with the inner child from the mobile home
C G F
For loosing sleep with the inner child from the mobile home
C G F
For counting sheep with the inner child from the mobile home
[End]
