Em B C D Em B C D

I linger and gawp when the council dig a big hole

Em B C D Em B C D

And I cheer for a corner – I don’t know why, they rarely lead to a goal.

G D Am C G D Am C

The greatest surface underfoot is springy turf

Em B C D Em B C D

Why does the winner of Mr Universe always come from Earth?

G D Am C G D Am C

I feel I should be more upset since you went to live in Delph

G D Am C Em A D Em B C D Em B C D

I should be writing songs about you but I’m too wrapped up in myself.

Em B C D Em B C D

At DFS a job I have landed but I don’t get paid for the first five years

Em B C D Em B C D

TNS in The Blob mob-handed according to what one hears.

G D Am C G D Am C

Outlandish rumour is my sport oyez, oyez

Em B C D

I’ve just seen Venglos in Rock Ferry buying energy drinks

Em B C D

He’s deffo taking over.

God knows I’ve tried to put you into verse but unfortunately

You’re so beige – I bet you think this song’s about someone else

I’ll fit you in some day, somehow

A thousand words but not right now

I’ve got a few lines on Gerry Gow

I had three in one packet in Seventy-Eight
