Eb
Gm

Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
Gm
F
Bb
You were practicing a magic trick
D/F#
Gm
Eb
And my thoughts got rude,
Gm
D
as you talked and chewed
Gm
F
Bb
On the last of your pick and mix
D/F#
Gm
Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking that
Eb
Gm
D
I haven't been called "cold" before"
Gm
F
Bb
As you bit into your strawberry lace
D/F#
Gm
And then offered me your attention in the

form of a gobstopper
Gm
It's all you had left
F
Bb
D/F#
and it was going to waste
Chorus 1
Gm
Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called

the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

The next time that I

It was on it's way to meet you
Gm
F
Bb
Thinking of excuses to postpone
D/F#
Gm
Eb
You never looked like yourself from the side
Gm
D
But your profile could not hide
Gm
The fact you knew I was
F
Bb
approaching your throne
D/F#
Gm
With folded arms you
Eb
Gm
occupied the bench like toothache
D
Gm
Stood and puffed your chest out like you
F
Bb
never lost a war
D/F#
Gm
Eb
And though I tried so not to suffer
Gm
D
the indignity of a reaction
Gm
F
There was no cracks to grasp
Bb
D/F#
or gaps to claw
