Verse 1
(G major) (E flat major) (Hel (C major) lo, what have
we here? )
(A young (G major) lady)
(To what do I owe (A major) this pleasant
surprise my pretty (E flat major) one?)
(How may I be of service this
(C major) dark and wintry night?)
(Ah, I (G major) see you wish me (A major) to look into the future,
(Aaug) your (C major) future)
(After gcses, a- levels,
(G major) university)
(After your first badly (A major) paid job (Aaug)
in advertising)
(Okay my pretty (E flat major) (C major) just cross my palm with plastic,
(G major) and I'll see what I
Can (A major) do)
(Wait)
(The fog is lifting)
I see (Aaug) oriental pa (C major) per globes
Hanging like (G major) decomposing cocoon (A major) s
While (E flatdim) exot (Aaug) ic candles (E flat major)
(Aaug) over (C major) load
The musty air (G major) with
their stale perfumes (A major)
And I (Aaug) see (E flatdim) (Aaug) lentils,
(E flat major) beans, seaweed (C major) and rice
In jars (G major) on the window- sill (A major)
And it ain't (E flatdim) hardly (Aaug) enough
(E flat major) to feed (C major) the mice
Running be (G major) hind the lines (B minor) of (Aaug) allergy pill (A major) s
(B flat major) All these things will come (C major) to pass
When (G minor) heroes of the middle- (D minor) class
Face (A flat major) up to their re (G minor) spons (E flat major) ibilities (D major)
I see (E flatdim) and (Aaug) Indi (E flat major) an fertil (C major) ity god
He's got (G major) thirty seven limbs to spare (A major)
And (E flatdim) (Aaug) tasteless (E flat major) tie-
dyed (Aaug) table (C major) cloths
That double up (G major) as evening wear (A major)
And I see (Aaug) naked
bodies twist (C major) and turn
On the futon (G major) of dreams fulfilled (A major)
But their (Aaug) three- year- old (E flat major) kid
seems (C major) unconcerned
He'd rather swallow (G major) (B minor) all
(G major) those (Aaug) allergy pill (A major) s
(C major) All (B flat major) these things will (C major) come to pass
When (G minor) heroes of (C major) the middle- (D minor) class
Face (A flat major) up to their re (G minor) spons (E flat major) ibilities (D major)
I see (G major) (D major) unspeakable (C major) vulgarity (D major)
(B flat major) Institution (G minor) alised mediocrity
(D major) Infinite tragedy (C major)
Rise up (D major) little souls, join (B flat major) the doomed (G minor) army
(D major) Fight the good fight,
(C major) wage the (D major) unwinnable war
El (G minor) egance against ignorance
(D major) Difference against (C major) indifference
Wit (D major) against shit
My (A major) words fly (G major) up to (E flat major) heav (D major) en,
(E minor) (A major) my thoughts remain (F major) be (D major) low (E minor) (G major)
(A major) Words said (G minor) (F major) without (D minor) feeling (D major) never (G major) (D major)
(G minor) to (D minor) (G minor)
(D major) heaven go (G major) (G minor)
(A major) (B flat major) (C major) (G minor)
(D minor) (A flat major) (E flat major) (F major) (Aaug)
(C major) All (B flat major) these things (C major) will come to pass
When (G minor) heroes of the middle- (D minor) class
Face (A flat major) up, repent, and (E flat major) pay the price
For (F minor) acci (G minor) dent (A flat major) ally (F minor) cre (B flat major) ating (E flat major) life
An (A flat major) oversight for (D flat major) which they
must (A flat major) (D flat major) atone (D major)
And sacrifice their own (Aaug)
