From way far across the sea

Came an Eritsean maiden, she

Half blinded in the war

With a pale young Anglican

Who said he'd help her all he can
Bb                                                             Eb
Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend
Cm
She had no notion to please him
F                                              Bb
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

Bb
There's a little boy in a stairwell who says
F
"I hate people like you"

I got matches and cable TV
Gm
half of less than 50p

We all clambered over the balcony
F
Banging on the window, waking Steve

Bringing with a new love his unholy friend

Singin' if you really need it you

It turns you into stone
               Cm
Now I'm reversing down this lonely street
         F                                                 Bb
To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past
                                Eb
And pay it off and keep it sweet
Cm
It's sweet like nothing no
F                                  Bb
It's just like nothing at all

Yes I've seen you there how could I help but stare

It rips the heart out off your body

Now I've taken far too much to think
                                     F                                               Bb
Or see or touch what's real I'm stranded on this street that
                   Eb
Paved my only way home

And don't try joke about yesterday
You know I wouldn't know about that anyway
       Bb
Oh no

[Solo]

[Outro]

He got nothin', no
                       Cm   Bb
He got nothin' at all
