[E] Oh, [N] that sounds good in the Top of the Pops.
[G] This is Fang Love, us having to work together on the radio [G#] in the mornings, but we're stuck
with each other on Top of the Pops now [G] as well.
Looks like we're having a good [C] evening though.
There's a band called Alarm, and they were touring in the States two days ago, when a
traffic cop stopped them with a telegram from Top of the Pops saying, you've got to be on Thursday night.
Here they are, with their new [C#] single, 68 [F] Guns.
