He spends his time

or maybe half of his time
   Bb
or part of the time wandering
           D                  Bm                     Em
'round the creeks and cobble stones of hackney lanes

with a tear in his eye

as the children walk by, he's thinking of a song

he's a poet he's a lark
          D                Bm                Em
he starts thinking about a place that no one knows

and when the creeks run dry
         G
he stays frozen in time

strange lights in the sky

Song For Dan Treacy

Verse 1:

G               Em     
    Dead in the water   
C                  D
It's not a paid vacation
G                 Em           C       
    The sons and daughters of city officials 
              D
Attend demonstrations
G                 Em        
    It's hardly a sink or swim
     C                   D
When all is well if the ticket sells

Break 1:
G   Em  D  C  Am  Am

Verse 2:

G              Em    
    Out with? a wimper
C                   D
It's not a blaze of glory
G                           Em
    You look down from your temple 
            C                    D
As people endeavor to make it a story
G                Em      
    And chisel a marble word
C           D
But all is lost if it's never heard

Break 2:

G   C7   G   G7

Chorus:

C
But I've got someone to make reports
D
That tell me how my money's spent
C
To book? my stays and draw my blinds
D
So I can't see what's really there
D
And all I need's a great big congratulations

G   Em  C  D     Am  Am


Just repeat for the rest of the song:

Verse 3:

I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems 
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

Break 1

Verse 4:

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

Break 2

Chorus 2:

But damn my? luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations

Congratulations

Dm
So tired
Bb
Soul searching 
Am
I followed the sounds to a cathedral
Dm            Bb                     Am                                            
Imagine my surprise to find that they were produded by Brian Eno

Dm
Past the gates
Bb
Quite stark
Am                       
The roses trimmed and the windows dark
Dm                       Bb
I see the walls through a limestone crack
Am                     
Not red, not blue, not yellow, but black
Gm                        Am 
And all the space left for you
Gm
If the sky was synthesized you'd probably know

Dm           Bb
He taught me many things
Am               
The wisdom of o' bleak stratagems
Dm               Bb
The prophet of a sapphire soul
Am               
Presented through creative freedoms
Gm                      Am
And everything I say is true
Gm
'Cause if i was telling lies it'd probably show

D                   Bm
I can tell that he's kind of smiling
G
But what does he know?

We're always one step behind him
G
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno

D                     Bm                      G
Well all alone by the oldest stone where the shade trees grow 
(What does he know?)
D                  Bm                     G
The creature by the water feature with a ghostly glow 
(Brian Eno!)
D                           Bm
Yeah, he's making sure that time's preserved well 
G
We reap what we sow

We're always one step behind him 
G
He's Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

Yeah, I can tell that he's doing well yeah

What does he know? (What does he know?!)

I'm always one step behind him

He's Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

Mild apprehension

Blank dreams of the coming fun
F
 Distort the odds of a turnaround
    Dm                       A
Gut screams out next to none
           B
So turn it on

Tune it in

And stay inert
         F
You say "I've got the backbone"
         Dm                    A
The back way to escape the gun
F
 Climbing a tree with a missing limb
        Dm            A
And not saving anyone
           B
And now it hurts

Flash 

The mirror ball's throwing mold
    Dm
You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold

See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt

So if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt


F
Plants

As far as I know are still, 
C              A
 Still bending toward the light
          F
And if we dance

Until the heart explodes
      Dm                A
It'll make this place ignite
F                 G
 And even if this hall collapses
C                  Am                  F
 I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just
  Dm            A
A case of Flash Delirium


F
Here's a growing culture

Deep inside a corpse
Dm
Ages stuck together

Taking it to the source

Timeless desperation

Pictures on a screen scream

 "hey people, what does it mean?"

Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling

And time's tingling spines

Attaching hands to floor

The rosy-tinted

The hot dog's getting cold

And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones

Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt
          E
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt


F
 Why close one eye and try to
C                  Am
 Pledge allegiance to the sun
F                                Dm         A
 When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
F          G
 Geometric troops aligning
C               Am
 Carried up to the burial mounds
F
 My earthbound heart is heavy
C               Am
 Your heartbeat keeps things light
F                          Dm              A
 With the violence forever threatening the night
   F             G
And even if this hall collapses
C                  Am                 B
 I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust
                     E
That our heads won't bust


F                  Ab
Six six, five five red battleships

Forty earthlike planets

Zero tears in their eyes

Mass adulation not so funny

Poisoned honey

Pseudo science

Silly money

You're my honey

Time To Pretend

Dm                      C        G
Evil S I yes to find a shore,
C                     G          F
A beach that doesn't quiver anymore,
Dm                       C                  F
Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls,
            Am                           F
And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars

Dm                        C        G
Was I? I was too lazy to bathe
C                     G           F
Or paint or write or try to make a change.
Dm                C               F
Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch
            Am                        F
And I don't have to love or think too much

A Dm    C      F     A              A#
Instant battle plans written on the sidewalk
A Dm   C       F    A             A#
Mental mystics in a twisted metal car
A Dm     C    F      Gm       A#        C
Tried to amplify the sound of light and love

Weekend Wars

(Intro)
F#m D A E  x8

(Verse 1)
F#m             D     
You were a child
                                  A                         E
Crawling on your knees toward him
F#m                         D       
Making mama so proud
A                                      E         F#m    D
But your voice is too loud
                                A                    E
We like to watch you laughing
F#m                                D      
Picking insects off of plants
A                                            E
No time to think of consequences

(Chorus)
F#m                      D
Control yourself
                                      A                   E
Take only what you need from it
F#m              D                 A                E
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

(Repeat chorus)

(Verse 2)
The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

(Chorus)

(Bridge) 
E - F#m - G -  C#m - A - D#m - B - F# - ?

Kids

C#m                        E           G#
Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
          B              C#m
Don't you know about the temperature change
       E          G#
In the cold black shadow?
        B           A
Are you mad at your walls
   B              C#m               E             G#
Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
       B                 C#m                     E         G#
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden?
       B               A           B           A
If the ship will never come you've got to move along

A

Chorus

C#m         E            G#                 B       C#m
Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
C#m            E             G#                          
        A
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
B           C#m
The falling apart
C#m          E          G#
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
    B        C#m
The waves of black
C#m            E           G#                      B 
       A
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
   B            A              B
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
A             B
He's a rat!

Solo

G#
To catch a monster
A
We make a movie
A#
Set the tempo
B(with fill)
And cut and cut its brains out
A - G#
C#m     F#                A
It will inspire on the burning pyre
G#
Half the distance
A
Half the motion
A#
Communication
B(with fill)            A - F#m - G#
It's easy as the ocean

Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
