Verse Peter: 
EIt was lost in a sound like this
Of times his mind told himself was bliss
AAcoustical lullaby with Gall hell going F#on insideE  
It was a Gtrench-coat top hat F#shotgun dog dowEn day
EIt was a sound a bit like this
Trashy & blue with a blaggard's hiss
ATalking about gits love today
In a sGtrung up hang dog F#head fuck quick buck Eway
EPacked up and I headed East
Headed for the Belly of the Beast
ABut within a Bangkok's half hour
I was Gway laid by a F#lower powerE  
It was a Gsmacked up cracked up F#bone shot smacked down Eday

By town and hammered up and a bloodied fist
AHis heart was broke but he got the jist
Get he Gcan't carry F#on like thisE  
It was a Gblackjack, paddywhack, F#stick a brother in the back Eday
EBack in London’s grey-scotch mist
Staring up at my therapist
AHe says pound for pound, blow for blow
You’re the Gmost messed-up motherF#fucker I knowE  
It was a G12 step bus fare F#knock down daycare Eday
