 Lisa Mitchell, Linda chica Australiana que ha destacado increiblemente por su sencillo  Neopolitan Dreams que ha sido utilizada en el anuncio de navidad de El Corte Inglés en España, pero en otros países también ha sido la banda sonora ideal para acompañar productos tan dispares como un detergente en Reino Unido o una compañía telefónica en Australia.. Curiosamente, Lisa Mitchell fue parte de 'Australian Idol' y salió de la competencia porque, según el jurado, su música era 'demasiado alternativa' para un show de esa categoría.

Verse
F#m         G            D
Stevie was a connoisseur
F#m       G            D
Everybody wanted to be her
F#m                      G                D         Bm
She chose her friends as carefully as she chose her words
D          Bm            A
She was so sure about it all


Oh Stevie was a hero once
Had all the things I'd never touch
She wrote in sterling silver with a ballpoint pen
Cold blooded chameleon

Bm A  G
Oh Stevie,
Bm A  D

Bm A  D

Bm        A   G
Why can't you see
Bm       A      D
You're a god to me

Stevie was an ice maiden
Not sure really worth saving
Alcatraz has nothing on her after all this time
Still I didn't search behind those eyes

Oh Stevie where are you going to
Oh you're as tight lipped as a bottle all screwed
If I had the chance to peer inside your mind
Give up your mystery, why think twice

Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
You're a god to me
Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
You're a god to me

G                                             D
Tea-leaves in the cup you're a good friend of mine
G                                       D
How the sober are thirsty for the sweet wine
G                                          D
Now that Stevie has locked her keys in her mind
G                                  D
Got to open up, lay herself on the line (lay herself on the line)

Tea-leaves in the cup
You're a good friend of mine
How the sober are
Thirsty for the sweet wine

Now that Stevie has locked her keys in her mind (in her mind)
Got to open up, lay herself on the line (lay herself on the line)

Tea-leaves in the cup
You're a good friend of mine
How the sober are
Thirsty for the sweet wine

D
Well I left the keys in the car
G
I left the door ajar
D                        G
I didn't want to be alone

These are the days and the nights
         G
At these sweet humbling heights
      D                       G
And I know it used to be home

In heavenly fields we can roam

D
Sell me a sign
G
I'll cut the telephone line
        D                       G
Just to keep expectations alive
          D
Oh you're bleeding me dry
         G
But this feeling is blind
     D                             G
Oh I can't stop you looking divine

Em
Sell me it straight

To keep on breaking the rules

A                               E
Once again, I leave my grave
A                               E
Dirt and daisies hit the pave
        B
But no sooner than I have turned,
A                                      
I hear the devil's cooking up a new storm

A                                     E
My world ends on a regular basis
A                                     E
Yeah, I fade quick in lonesome places
  B 
No sooner that I am dead
   A                                        
I feel the ravens tugging at my hair

    E
Oh! Hark!
                D                       A                       E
Do you a hear a voice like velvet through the night sky?
                D                  A                      E
Do you hear the fickle hand of fate at my side
              D                            A                  E
And all those that god has sinned with hope in his stride
       E
And watch out
              D                      A                  E
Watch for them camouflaged and crouched in the shadows
          D               A                      E
You know, they couldn't hold a candle up to you
           D                A              E
But they stand as tall as you in broad daylight too

Oh! Hark!

E                                                    A
Ocean bursts its banks and all the waters going my way
E                                                   A

Well listen nothing fits, nothing rings a bell in my head
Lighting up the fire and the city?s painted blood red
Even though you're poison babe I wouldn?t even hesitate
Just let it go I just I gotta get away now 

                E                           Am
I was so jealous, I nearly ran away, I was so jealous, I really couldn't say

Neopolitan Dreams

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:

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

American Dream 

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.

Overreacting

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.
