The Seed That Always Died

Jona Lewie


Tom: G

G                                 D
He's a gigolo, coming in for some time girl, aye.
D                                   G
Monsieur Figaro isn't one who loses when he's hard
G                                D
He's a lover boy hoping a man he will become
       D                                            G
She'll take him or destroy all his miles of chicken run

[Chorus]
               G                                                D
She takes good care of the fair in this land of despair and its starvation
            D                                                   G
and its her job and it's got all the rules and the rocks of the vie-riche
          G                                                      D
And she enjoys all the toys which make boys very coy and they're terrified
           D                                               G
She is the nurse to the need when she pleads for seed that always die
              C                         G
for seed that always die, for seed that always die.

[Verse 2]
G                                          D
She calls him Cherie, as she smiles at his pince-nez
D                                                    G
Burlesque is the scene where the pleasures come from props, no less
G                              D
Mirror on the wall, becoming a big white screen
D                                            G
Give some some video, of a love that must be seen

[Chorus]
               G                                                D
She takes good care of the fair in this land of despair and its starvation
            D                                                   G
and its her job and it's got all the rules and the rocks of the vie-riche
         G                                                       D
And she enjoys all the toys which make boys very coy and they're terrified
           D                                               G
She is the nurse to the need when she pleads for seed that always die
              C                         G
for seed that always die, for seed that always die.

[Outro]
           D                                               G
She is the nurse to the need when she pleads for seed that die
