[Spoken Intro]
N.C.
This huge construction project could change the character of areas on this road forever. That's the worry at
least, to people in what's known as 'Tin Pan Alley'
[Verse 1]
A5You found a carousel to ride around
But G5you get bored, so you tear it down
Like a A5kid in a playground, putting sand in their mouth
Spit it G5out, when you're feeling fickle
And A5I want to say it shouldn't work that way
G5People's lives ain't a game, just 'coz you can pay
A5Smoking your big fat cigar
G5Tweed hat, cravat and four birds on your arm
[Chorus]
DI'm just a tin pan boy, Cdo you want to take that toy?
EHey! You! Mr. Developer!
EHey! You! Mr. Developer!
DYou're just a tin town toy, Ca big fat boy
EHey! You! Mr. Inheritor!
ECrook! Hook! Mr. Proprietor

[Verse 2]
A5You kick the small kid off the monkey bars
G5Take your mess out of his specs and the size of his arm
A5Force him to dress in black, then make him hold your holster
Whilst you G5shoot in the back (back)
A5You will say I'm only writing songs
G5Son get off of your arse and get a proper job
And A5snigger at my beat-up boots
But I G5tell you Sir, I'm coming after you in fiction
[Chorus]
DI'm just a tin pan boy, Cdo you want to take that toy?
EHey! You! Mr. Developer!
EHey! You! Mr. Developer!

[Spoken Intro]

N.C.

This huge construction project could change the character of areas on this road forever. That's the worry at

least, to people in what's known as 'Tin Pan Alley'

[Verse 1]

You found a carousel to ride around

But you get bored, so you tear it down

Like a kid in a playground, putting sand in their mouth

Spit it out, when you're feeling fickle

And I want to say it shouldn't work that way

People's lives ain't a game, just 'coz you can pay

Smoking your big fat cigar

Tweed hat, cravat and four birds on your arm

[Chorus]

D C

I'm just a tin pan boy, do you want to take that toy?

Hey! You! Mr. Developer!

D C

You're just a tin town toy, a big fat boy

Hey! You! Mr. Inheritor!

Crook! Hook! Mr. Proprietor

[Verse 2]

You kick the small kid off the monkey bars

Take your mess out of his specs and the size of his arm

Force him to dress in black, then make him hold your holster

Whilst you shoot in the back (back)

You will say I'm only writing songs

Son get off of your arse and get a proper job

And snigger at my beat-up boots

But I tell you Sir, I'm coming after you in fiction

[Chorus]

D C

I'm just a tin pan boy, do you want to take that toy?

Hey! You! Mr. Developer!

You're just a tin town toy, a big fat boy

Hey! You! Mr. Inheritor!

Crook! Hook! Mr. Proprietor

I'm just a tin pan boy, you want to take my toys

Hey! Hey!
