STARRY EYES
(Birch/Wicks)
recorded by The Records, 1979
|:    A2|    E|   B5|    :|
While yAou were off in France we were strBanded in the British EIsles.
ALeft to fall apart amongst the pBassports and the fEiles.
We never asked for mAiraclesF#m, but they were our concBern.
Did you really thAink we'd sit it oBut and wait for your retEurn?
I don't want to Aargue.  BI ain't going to bEudge.
Could you take this nAumber down bBefore you go off to jEudge?
I don't want to aArgue, Bthere's nothing to sEay.
Get me out of your stAarry eyes and Bbe on your wEay.
While you were on the beach were you dreaming all about your share?
Planning to invest it all to cover wear and tear?
We paid for all the phone calls, and monies off the shelf.
Don't you know that while you're gone away I gotta help myself.
(chorus, + guitar solo)
While you were in the pool we were meeting with the boys upstairs.
Talking to the money man and carrying out repairs.
We had no time for cocktails, or working up a tan.
The boys have all been spoken to, the writ has hit the fan.
(chorus, w/ last line repeated.)
