[Intro]
Am C D Em x2
[Verse 1]
Am C D Em
Baby, let me make you a statue
Am C D Em
To stand outside the council house

To stand as a reminder of what you are
Am C D Em
And what you want to be
[Pre-Chorus]

I want to live with you
Am
Want to sleep with you

In a house, in a peaceful world
Am
They want to take you

They want to break you

Don't let them make you unhappy
[Chorus 1]

You are the icing on the cake

The party on the street

Am C D Em
You were left on the doorstep
Am C D Em
Of the Social Security

You were hoping for a future as someone
Am C D Em
Not just a leisure refugee
Am C D Em
I always saw you as a fighter and a winner
Am C D Em
Not content to only write your name
Am C D Em
Their right way is the wrong way for what you are
Am C D Em
And what you were born to be
[Pre-Chorus 2]

Born to be young and free

To be young and wise

Not to listen to all their lies

Here we come waltzing home

By the moon so bright

By the sea, by the harbour wall

They want to break you

Shape you and make you unhappy
[Chorus 3]
