The Gmscriptures foretell of a Amparty in Hackney
In a Dmdimly lit room, full of loathing and hate
They’re Gmselling their souls, and AmI just can’t wait
I Dmshrivel inside at the sight of your beauty
I Gmfall to the floor,  as she’s Amshaking her booty
DmShe said she; and then she, until I turned blue
Oh – the Gmthings we get up to, to Amget through the night

GmWhen she reached over and Ampressed the eject
I was Dmup to the gunnels, against all advice
I Gmfelt so ashamed that AmI did it twice
From Dmdisco to disco; from Safeway to Tesco
We’re Gmshopping around from the Amcradle till death row
From DmTesco it’s down to the 7-11
To Gmchase through the night time, to Amchase through the night

DmI can’t explain why I need to be free
But if you Dmneed to be naked that’s alright by me
DmIt’s the fast track express to the graveyard, I know
So Gmwhat are you waiting for? AmHey ho, let’s go
From Dmdisco to disco, from Safeway to tesco
We’re Gmshopping around, from the Amcradle till death row
Don’t Dmstop till the train has pulled into the station
Then GmI’ll hold the door for you – Amno, I insist

[Intro]

Dm Gm Am

[Verse 1]

On the last night on earth when the horses run free

Gm Am

The scriptures foretell of a party in Hackney

In a dimly lit room, full of loathing and hate

Gm Am

They’re selling their souls, and I just can’t wait

I shrivel inside at the sight of your beauty

Gm Am

I fall to the floor, as she’s shaking her booty

She said she; and then she, until I turned blue

Gm Am

Oh – the things we get up to, to get through the night

[Chorus]

Dm Gm Am

after you

Dm Gm Am

after you

[Verse 2]

I knew it was wrong, I began to suspect

Gm Am

When she reached over and pressed the eject

I was up to the gunnels, against all advice

Gm Am

I felt so ashamed that I did it twice

From disco to disco; from Safeway to Tesco

Gm Am

We’re shopping around from the cradle till death row

From Tesco it’s down to the 7-11

Gm Am

To chase through the night time, to chase through the night

[Chorus]

Dm Gm Am

after you

Dm Gm Am

after you

[Verse 3]

I can’t explain why I need to be free

But if you need to be naked that’s alright by me

It’s the fast track express to the graveyard, I know

Gm Am

So what are you waiting for? Hey ho, let’s go

From disco to disco, from Safeway to tesco

Gm Am

We’re shopping around, from the cradle till death row

Don’t stop till the train has pulled into the station

Gm Am

Then I’ll hold the door for you – no, I insist

[Chorus]

Dm Gm Am

after you, yeah

Dm Gm Am

Dm Gm Am
