Obscurity Knocks
INTRO:  A  
AAlways at the foot of the photograph - Bmthat's me there
Snug as a thug in a Amugshot pose
BmOwner of this corner and not much more
Still these Adays I'm better placed Dto get my just reEwards
I'll pound oAut a tune and very soon
I'll have tDoo much to say and a dead stuEpid name
CHORUS
Though I oAught to be learning I feEel like a veteran
Of "OAh I like your poetry buEt I hate your poems"
ACalendars crumble I'm kEnee deep in numbers
ATurned 21, I've twEist, I'm bust and wrong agaAin
Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two
Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring
In the lap of luxury it comes to mind
Is this headboard hard? Am I a lap behind?
But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself
Is the kind of fate I never contemplate
Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind
DKnow what it's like
To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?
BmEvery stopped to think and foDund out nothing was there?
EThey laugh to see such fAun
Playing Blind Man's Bluff aBmll by myselfD  
AAnd they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme
E"Ba Ba Bleary Eyes - Have yDou any idea?"
AThe calendar's clutteEred with dAays that are numEbered

Obscurity Knocks

INTRO:

A Bm

Always at the foot of the photograph - that's me there

Snug as a thug in a mugshot pose

Owner of this corner and not much more

A D E

Still these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards

I'll pound out a tune and very soon

D E

I'll have too much to say and a dead stupid name

CHORUS

A E

Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran

A E

Of "Oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"

A E

Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers

A E A

Turned 21, I've twist, I'm bust and wrong again

Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two

Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring

In the lap of luxury it comes to mind

Is this headboard hard? Am I a lap behind?

But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself

Is the kind of fate I never contemplate

Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind

Know what it's like

To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life?

Bm D

Every stopped to think and found out nothing was there?

E A

They laugh to see such fun

Bm D

Playing Blind Man's Bluff all by myself

And they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme

E D

"Ba Ba Bleary Eyes - Have you any idea?"

A E A E

The calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered
