Am                    Fm
I just roam through town
C                            
And though my windows got a view
G                  
The frame im looking through
Am                              Fm

C
But you cant stop nothing
G
If you got no control
Am
Of the thoughts in your mind
Fm
That you kept in, you know
C
You dont know nothing
G
But you dont need to know
Am
The wisdoms in the trees
Fm
Not the glass windows
C
You cant stop wishing
G
If you dont let go
Am
But things that you find
Fm
And you lose, and you know
C
You keep on rolling
G
Put the moment on hold
Am
The frames too bright
Fm
So put the blinds down low

C   G
I, need this here
Am           Fm
Old train to breakdown
C    G
Oh, please just

[C] I hope this old [Em] train breaks down.
[Am] Then I could take a [G] walk around and
[C] See what there [Em] is to see
[Am] Time is just a [G] melody

With all the [C] people in the street
Walking [Em] fast as their feet
Can take them, [Am] I just roll through [G] town. 

And though my [C] window's got a view,
Well, the [Em] frame I'm looking through,
Seems to [Am] have no concern for me [G] now. 

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown

[C] Well, this engine [Em] screams out loud,
[Am] Centipede gonna [G] crawl west bound.
[C] So I don't even [Em] make a sound cause
[Am] It's gonna sting me when I [G] leave this town.

And all the [C] people in the street
That I'll [Em] never get to meet
(if) these [Am] tracks don't bend [G] somehow. 

And [C] I got no time
that I [Em] got to get to where
[Am] I don't need to [G] be. 

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown.

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown
[G] I wanna [F] break on [C] down.
[G] But I [F] can't stop now. [C]
[G] Let me [F] break on down. [C] [G]

[F] But you [C] can't stop nothing if you [Em] got no control
Of the [Am] thoughts in your mind that you [G] kept in you, know.
You [C] don't know nothing, but you [Em] don't need to know.
The [Am] wisdom's in the trees, not the [G] glass windows.
You [C] can't stop wishing if you [Em] don't let go
The [Am] things that you find and you [G] lose you know.
You [C] keep on rolling, put the [Em] moment on hold.
The [Am] frame's too bright so put the [G] blinds down low.
And...

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown
[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down

C       EM
I need this
     AM         G
Old train to breakdown
C          EM
Oh please just
AM              G
Let me please breakdown

But I cant stop now
       AM        G
Let me break on down


          C       
But you cant stop nothing
       EM
If you got no control
          AM
Of the thoughts in your mind
          G
That you kept in, you know
     C
You don't know nothing
          EM
But you don't need to know
      AM
The wisdoms in the trees
         G
Not the glass windows
    C
You cant stop wishing
        EM
If you don't let go
     AM
But things that you find
         G
And you lose, and you know
     C
You keep on rolling
          EM
Put the moment on hold
       AM
The frames too bright
            G
So put the blinds down low


C       EM
I need this
AM              G
Old train to breakdown
C          EM   
Oh please just
AM               G
Let me please breakdown
C       EM
I need this
AM              G
Old train to breakdown

Oh please just

Let me please breakdown

I wanna break on down

But I cant stop now

Verse
C                                                Em
I hope this old train breaks down
Am                                               G
Then I could take a walk around
C                                               Em
And, see what there is to see
Am                                    G
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now

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
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
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
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
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


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
Stroll 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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name
