B and so i checked all the registered historical facts and i was shocked into shame to discover how i’m the 18th pale descendent D E of some old queen or other B oh has the world changed , or have i changed? oh has the world changed , or have i changed? some nine year old tough who peddles drugs D E G A G#m G i swear to god , i swear i never even knew what drugs were B so i broke into the palace with a sponge and a rusty spanner she said : "eh , i know you , and you cannot sing" D E i said : "that’s nothing - you should hear me play piano" B we can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry and talk about precious things but when you are tied to your mother’s apron D E G A G#m G no - one talks about castration B we can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry and talk about precious things like love and law and poverty D E these are the things that kill me ( same as above ) we can go for a walk where it’s quiet and dry and talk about precious things but the rain that flattens my hair these are the things that kill me B passed the pub that saps your body and the church who’ll snatch your money D the queen is dead , boys E and it’s so lonely on a limb pass the pub that wrecks your body and the church , all they want is your money the queen is dead , boys and it’s so lonely on a limb B D E life is very long , when you’re lonely life is very long , when you’re lonely life is very long , when you’re lonely life is very long , when you’re lonely johnhaythornthwaite@hotmail . com
