I took this walk to ease my mind
Am
    To find out what's gnawing at me
C
    Wouldn't think to look at me,

G			  D
		that I've spent a lot of time in education
C
	It all seems so long ago
G 	     D
       I'm a thinker, not a talker
C	   
	I've no-one to talk to, anyway

  G		F
I can't see the road
	C	    G
for the rain in my eyes
G  F  C  G
Ahhh ...

I live above the grocers store,
Am				
	owned by an Austrian
C
	He often calls me down to eat
G		D
	And he jokes about his broken English,
C
	tries to be a friend to me
G		D
	But for all my years of reading conversation,
C	
	I stand without a word to say

   G		F	
I can't see the bridge
	C          G
for the rain in my eyes
Ahhh...

	A	   	 E
And the world is full of life
Bm		
	Full of folk who don't know me
D
	And they walk in twos or threes or more

A		   E
	While the light that shines above the grocer's store
D
	Investigates my face so rudely
A		E
	And my essays lying scattered on the floor
D
	Fulfill their needs just by being there
	A		E
And my hands shake, my head hurts,
    D		  A
my voice sticks inside my throat
	A	   E
I'm invisible and dumb,
    D		  A	
And no-one will recall me

Time takes a cigarette  puts it in your mouth
                  F                    G                 Am
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette
G                      F           G                   Am
  The wall to wall is calling  it lingers, then you forget
G    F
Oh  you're a rock'n roll suicide
C  G                    C                     E7

Oh no no no you're a rock'n roll suicide

But the day breaks instead so you hurry home

  Don't let the sun blast your shadow
               E7                    Am

Stone love - she kneels before the grave
  Am                                       F
A brave son - who gave his life to see the slogan

That hovers between the headstone and her eyes

For they penetrate her grieving

New love - a boy and girl are talking

To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning

Sweeping over cross a baby

Idiot love will spark the fusion
F            G                    C7                F
Inspirations have I none, just to touch the flaming dove

All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving

All love - though reaching up my loneliness evolves

By the blindness that surrounds him

                     And my time was running wild,
                                F
                      A million dead-end streets.

                  It seems the taste was not so sweet,

                    So i turned my self to face me

                 I watch the ripples change their size
                       But never leave the stream
                         Of warm impermanence.
                   And so the days flow thru my eyes
                   But the days still seem the same.
                     And this children you spit on
                   As they try to change their worlds,
                   Are immune to your consultations.
            Theyr'e quite aware of what they're going thru.

              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange
    Ch-ch-ch changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it.
              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange
                 Ch-ch-ch changes, there's your shame,
                  you've left us up yo our neck in it.
             Time may change me, but you can't trace time.

                  Strange fascination fascinating me.
            Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru.
              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange,
           Ch-ch-ch changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers
              Ch-ch-ch changes, turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-ch changes,pretty soon now youre gonna get a little older.
              Time may change me, But i can't trace time.

    C
I'm closer to the golden dawn 
                                 G        
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
    C
I'm living in a silent film
                                       G
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
    Eb 
I'm frightened by the total goal
F
Drawing to the ragged hole
      G             Em        C
And I ain't got the power any more
                             G    Am7   A
no I ain't got the power any more


        D
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
                                    A       
Living proof of Churchills lies I'm destiny
    D
I'm torn between the light and dark
                                     A        
Where others see their target divine symmetry
F
Should I kiss the vipers fang
   G
Or herald loud the death of man?
    A              F#m             D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
                              A    
And I ain't got the power any more


CHORUS:

    D
I'm not a prophet or a stoneage man
                                              A
Just a mortal with potential of a superman I'm living on
    D
I'm tethered to the logic of homo sapien
                                               A
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith
     F
If I don't explain what you ought to know 
        G
You can tell me all about it in the next bardot
    A              F#m             D
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
                              A    
And I ain't got the power any more


CHORUS x2:

And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry

I bought you a pair of shoes

A trumpet you can blow and a book of rules

On what to say to people when they pick on you

Cos if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty kookie too

CHORUS, INTRO

And if you ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cads
Cos I'm not much cop at punching other people's dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we'll throw it on the fire
And take the car downtown

I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl

I laughed and shook his hand
I made my way back home
I searched for form and land
Years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
We walked a million hills
I must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows not me
I never lost control
You?re face to face
With the man who sold the world

I'm stuck with a valuable friend

                                     D                E
    She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind.
                                            D               E
    Now she`s stupid in the street and she can't socialize.

Scary Monsters

E
Well I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries
"It's all in vain"
C#m
The voice of doom
B
was shining in my room
Abm         F#
I just need one day
Abm         F#
somewhere far away
Abm                  F#
Lord I just need one day


B                                  E    
Well I'll be breaking these rocks
B                                  E 
And cutting this hay
B                                  E 
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks
B                                  E 
What's my price to pay?



Well the river's so muddy,
but it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a burning ray
Oh give me the night,
I can't take another sight
Please, please give me the night

CHORUS....  

Abm                                       Ebm
Sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mile high
Dbm                                        F#
Up in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die


B                                  E    
I won't be breaking no rocks
B                                  E    
I said "I won't be breaking no rocks"

(Verse 1)
A
There's such a sad love
A                             F#m
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
F#m                          Dm
Open and closed within your eyes
Dm                              A
I'll place the sky within your eyes
A
There's such a fooled heart
A                            F#m
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
F#m                               Dm
A love that will last within your heart
Dm                               A
I'll place the moon within your heart


(Chorus)

Makes no sense for you

Every thrill has gone

Wasn't too much fun at all
A                             F#m
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
F#m                A
As the world falls down
A
Falling

A
I'll paint you mornings of gold
A
I'll spin you Valentine evenings

Though we're strangers till now
F#m                                   Dm
We're choosing the path between the stars
Dm                            A
I'll lay my love between the stars

Always Crashing In The Same Car

intro: C, Dm, F, G 

C
They pulled in just behind the fridge
       Dm
He lays her down-he frowns
F
"Gee my life's a funny thing
     G
Am I still too young"
C
He kissed her then and there
                    Dm
She took his ring, took his babies
    F
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
G
Heaven knows she'dve taken anything

CHORUS:
F    G
All night-she want s the young American
C   Dm
Young American, young American
she wants the young American
      F  G
It's all right-but she wants the young American

Scanning life thru the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang
Heaven forbid she'll take anything
But the freak and his type-all for nothing
Misses a step and cuts his hand
Showing nothing he swoops like a song
She cries "where have all papa's heroes gone?"

All night-she want s the young American
Young American, young American
she wants the young American
It's all right-but she wants the young American

All the way from Washington
He breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor
"Live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

All night-he want s the young American
Young American, young American
he wants the young American
It's all right-but he wants the young American...

interlude: Am, G, F, G

bridge:
Am               G      C     
Do you remember your President Nixon?
Am              G            F
So you remember the bills you have to pay
            E
or even yesterday?


D
Have you been the un-American
Em
Just you and your id singing falsetto 'bout
G
leather, leather everywhere and
A
not a myth left from the Ghetto
D
Well, well, well would you carry a razor?
Em
In case, just in case of depression
G
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
A
Blushing at all the afro-sheeners
Ain't that close to love?
Well ain't that poster love?
Well it ain't that brbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you

G  A
All night-you want  the young American
D                                     Em
Young American, young American
you want the young American
    G   A
It's all right-you want the young American

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
Pimps got a Caddy-lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect-white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps and look at your hands hey
"I heard the news today, oh boy"
I got-suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man-who could say no more
Ain't there a woman-I can sock on the jaw
Ain't there a child-I can hold without judging
Ain't there a pen-that will write before they die
Ain't you proud-that you've still got faces
and ain't there one damn song  that can make me
break down and cry...

All night-I want the young American
Young American, young American
I want the young American
It's all right-I want the young American

May-be if I pray ev-ry, each night I sit there plead-in'
,
"Send back my dream-test ba-by. She's my main fea-ture."

My TVC one five, he, he just stares back un-blink-ing.
F                      Fm            C
So hol-o-gramic, oh my TVC one five. One of these nights

I may just jump down that rain-bow way; be with my ba-by.

Then we'll spend some time to-geth-er. So hol-o-gram-ic,

oh my TVC one five. My ba-by's in there some-place.

Station To Station

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
