[Bm] _
This is [F#] nice living in a chapel.
Is the bell [Gm] every day?
[B] Not every day, [F#m] _ _ [G] thankfully. _
No, [D#] I live in [A] dread of bell ringing [F] practice.
[G] Let's see if I can get some space here.
This is fairly recent, it's based [F#m] on a painting by Giorgione [G]
called The Tempest.
This is a self [A]-portrait, yes, which [G] I did actually for an exhibition of self-portraits. _
And that's Michelangelo's David.
Very similar, don't you think?
_ _ _ _ [A] Drums. _
_ [G] _ _ The album [G#] cover you did [D] yourself as well, for the band.
Yeah, [Bm] we got it somewhere here. _ _

[Bm] _ You didn't have much [A] success in England itself.
[Bm] Not in England, no, but we [A] did Top [G] of the Pops.
[Bm] _ We were in [B] the top 40, but not enough to make it absolutely mandatory.
And what had happened was that a band called The Gang of Four _ _ pulled out at the last minute.
So we were called in as a last [A] minute replacement.
Top [Bm] of the Pops was the big [A] push, so [Bm] this is our big chance.
_ _ [A] Music flew from [Bm] the roof of my room
Had its own [A] way to get [G] to [Bm] you
_ [B] What [A] can I do, _ _ [Bm] _
I'll _ [B] _ have to live with [Bm]
you
But then [A] the EMI pressing [G] plant went, _ I don't know if it went on strike,
but it wasn't pressing for another three weeks or something.
I think it was a strike.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ So nobody could buy the record.
So that didn't help.
_ _ [A] Drop your feet, _ [Bm] _ _ got to [A] move to the [G] trick of the
[Bm] _ _ _ It's no [A]
late, _ [Bm] _ _ just take your place [A] in the [G] drive seat
[Bm] _ _ _ [A] Drive the seat
[Bm] Top Gear, their driving program, _ [E]
it's [G] always on their best [Bm] driving songs.
_ [A] Drive the seat, _ [Bm] _ _ _ drive [A]
the seat
It [Bm] was seen as a driving song.
[A] Doing alright, _ [Bm] _ _ little [A] driving on a [G] Saturday night
[Bm] Because people heard [A] driving instead of jiving.
[F#] Yeah, yeah, I said little jiving on a Saturday night.
What's jiving? _ _ _
So yeah.
[Bm] So that's how driving. _
You know, I have no problem with this because it's been _ _ _ great.
It was used as an ad for Nissan cars, you know, so how can you complain? _ _ _
_ _ [A] Drive the seat, _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] yeah
The expression [A] is an expression, essentially, you know, to take your place in the driver's seat.
I'm not even sure it is an expression, but the driver's seat is sort of right.
OK, well, you're in charge, you know, nobody else is in charge.
So the song _ really was _ about _ a sort of _ a breakup and then moving on, you know.
So how do you move on from a breakup?
Well, you just have to gather up things and be [Bm] positive and move on [A] with your life.
[G] So that's what the [Bm] song's about.
_ _ [A] Jelly with sweet
_ [Bm] _
_ It [A] is no relief
[Bm] _ _
_ _ [A] Pick up your _ [Bm] feet
Ooh, pick [A] up your [G] feet
_ [Bm] _
_ _ [A] Pick up your _ [Bm] feet
_ Don't [A] just _ [G] _ stay
_ [Am] _ Drive the seat
And it was [A#] used in a Dutch ad.
_ Pioneer, yeah, Pioneer, well, it was car stereo, [A] yeah, so maybe that was the [B] driving link again.
[A] Drive the [G] seat
The song had new momentum after the Dutch ad because you entered the charge [B] again.
Yes, extraordinary.
I mean, that's the [F#] only time, you know, we've ever been at number one was in Holland in 1991.
