 D
Being alone it can be quite romantic
 D
Like Jacques Cousteau underneath the sea Atlantic
     G
A fantastic voyage to parts unknown
 D
Going to depths where the sun's never shone
         G                        D
And I fascinate myself when I'm alone

 D
So I go a little overboard but hang on to the hull

While I'm airbrushing fantasy art on a life
         G
That's really kind of dull
 G    D
Oh, I'm in a lull

 D
I'm all for moderation but sometimes it seems

Moderation itself can be a kind of extreme
       G
So I joined the congregation

I joined the softball team
   D
I went in for my confirmation

Where incense looks like steam
G
I start conjugating proverbs
                        D
Where once there were nouns
  D                                                G
This whole damn rhyme scheme's starting to get me down

And I fascinate myself when I'm alone

      D
I'm rambling on rather self consciously

While I'm stirring these condiments into my tea
              G
And I think I'm so lame
                            D
I bet I think this song's about me

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus

Lazy Line Painter Jane

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

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far
