_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Dm]
Distant [A] echo of faraway [G] voices,
Bought in faraway trains,
_ [Am] To take them home to,
The ones that they love and who [G] love them forever.
_ _ _ [Am]
The Christ [F#] dirty steps,
[A] Repeat [E] my own and the club [G] my thoughts,
_ _ [Am] _ [D] Cold and uninviting,
[A] _
Partially naked,
[G] Mr.
Bob,
Toppy [Bm] rappers,
And the smallest papers,
[C] Mr.
Jones [D] got run down,
[G] Headlines of death [Bm] and so,
They tell of the moment,
On the rap [A] heights,
[G] And I'm down and I [D] just don't show me none,
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] Fumble for change,
[A] _ Pull out the queen,
[G] Smiling big I lean,
_ [A] I put in the money,
[Am] _ And pull out the plum,
[G] Behind me,
_ _ [Am] _
Whispers in the [A] shadows,
Like birds [D] in voices,
[G]
Hating waiting,
_ [Am] _ Hey boy, hey child, _
Have you got any money?
And I [G] say,
I've only seen [Bm] money and a takeaway [C] curry,
I'm on my way [D] home to my wife,
[G] She's been lining up [Bm] the cups and reading notes,
[C] And expecting me polishing her glasses,
And pulling [G] out the cork,
I'm down and I just [Bm] ain't shut up [C] midnight,
_ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ First [D] felt a fist,
[A] And then a dick,
Could [G] not smell their breath,
_ [A] The [D] smell of [Am] pubs,
And wormwood scrubs,
And [G] too many right wing meetings,
_ [Am] _ [D] My life swam around me,
It took a look and drowned me in its own [G] existence,
_ _ [Am] The smell of brown [A] leather,
Even hit him with the weather,
My [G] eyes is not a [Bm] mouth of gloves,
So my senses [C] quit speaking [D] a lot,
[G] I'm down and I just [D] ain't shut up midnight,
[C]
I'm [D] _ _ [G] down and [D] I just ain't shut up midnight, _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ The [G] last thing I'd ask of the [Bm] lady,
Around a fortune [C] she decides,
Makes it far [D] like the earth,
She's never had a British rep,
But she'll [B] reap,
And by the way,
It's a [C]
cheap holiday,
[D] A dreadful day,
[G] I'm not stuck on my [Bm] life,
I'm stuck on my [C] own, The saints,
The kings,
She'll [G] think it's me,
I'm down and I just ain't [B] shut up midnight,
[C] The wine will be flat,
[D] Time to call this no love,
[G] I'm down and I just ain't [Bm] shut up midnight,
_ [C]
I'm [D] _ _ [G] down and I just ain't [B] shut up midnight,
_ [C] _
_ [D] _ [G] I'm down and I just [Bm] ain't shut up midnight,
