Momus: Little Lord Obedience
[Verse 1]
AmFaceless when he docks, Cfaceless when he's Dmlost at Amsea
EmThe ocean is greenC, admission is freeDm  
Only Amhere, here at the Dmsource
There are Amfingernails and Dmhair to AmspareDm  Am  
But when the Dorder comes to go and the sirens GblowD  
And the hair goes Emgrey
He obeys, he Dobeys
[Refrain 1]
Away in a F#mmanger, no crib for a Bmbed
Little Lord ODbedience
Lays Gdown his sweet, enEtirely sexless Ahead
DChrist found the source of the F#mBible
And BmLivingstone the source of the ANile
But the Gsailor and his Emamazon
Find the Gsource of the Achild
A#In the dock of the Cbaby
The reAmsort where strangers A#liaise
The Cport in every Agirl where the sailor oAmbeys
[Verse 2]
AmNaked when he docks, Cnaked when he's Dmlost at Amsea
EmThere he loses his Cstripes, there he loses his Dmbody
Only Amhere, here at the Dmsource
The Amfashionable Dmdress is AmfleshDm  Am  
But when the Dorder comes to go and the sirens GblowD  
And the flesh Emdecays
He obeys, he Dobeys
[Refrain 2]
Away in a F#mmanger, no crib for a Bmbed
Little Lord ODbedience
Lays Gdown his sweet, enEtirely sexless Ahead
DChrist found the source of the F#mBible
And BmLivingstone the source of the ANile
But the Gsailor and his Emamazon
Find the Gsource of the Achild
A#In the dock of the Cbaby
The reAmsort where strangers A#liaise
The Cport in every Agirl where the sailor oAmbeys
[Verse 3]
AmNo one when he docks, Cno one when he's Dmlost at Amsea
The Emwaves dissolve his Cfrown, they solve his puzzled face Dmaway
Only Amhere, here at the Dmsource
No one Amcomes without Dmleaving someone AmelseDm  Am  
But when the Dorder sounds to go and the sirens GblowD  
And they lower the Emgangway
We obey, we Dobey
