Half Man Half Biscuit


Tom: D

(intro D A D A)
   D    A    D           A     G                 A            D     A
My life   is comfortable   but I don't want that image for my band.
  D     A     D          A     G                  A               D     A
Inside,   I'm reasonable   but I'll make out they just don't understand.
Em                 A         Em           A
When we don't feel well let's put on some Velvets
Em           G                   A
Leave our guitars up against the amp.
        D        A                  D
And get feedback when I feel that I need that
A                       G            A                      D    A  (D A x5)
Air of "look, aren't we dangerous" - that's the time to feedback.
   D    A     D          A  G          A              D     A
Intense,   no compromise,   nasty evil cranking up my brain.
D     A  D     A        G                    A                  D     A
Pain,    Howl,    she's gone to Spain with a load of mates from work.
      Em              A         Em            A
And I feel cursed and sore, like I'm Thurston Moore like
Em           G                    A
The darkness in my eyes won't go away.
      D        A                D
I get feedback in my bedroom in Nantwich
A                         G              A                      D     A
Stamp my foot down on the angst-switch: that's the time to feedback.

  (instr  D A D A, G A G A, D A, G A, D A, D A D A)
B                         Em             A                 D
Somebody's knocking on my door; it's the boy from over the road
       B                    Em               A                      D
And he says he shares our obsession and he'd like to join in on the session
        B                          Em        A
And the others aren't arsed either way, so I say:
             D                  A               D              A
I think we'd better let him in,    I heard he's got a Theremin
             D                  A                  D             A
I think we'd better let him in,    I've heard he's got a Theremin
         Em                        A
And I've seen him walk through the park a lot
      Em                A
And I bet he listens to Arc a lot
             D                       A
I think we'd better let him in, he's got a Theremin
     D                       A
We'd better let him in, he's got a Theremin.
