[Chorus]
GSheila goes out with her mate EmStella
Gets poured all over her fDella
'Cause she says "man, he ain't no bCetter"
Than the next man kicking up fGuss
Drunk she stumbles down by a rEmiver
Screams, calling "DLondon"
None of us heard her cComing
I guess the carpet weren't rolled Gout
G Em D C
[Verse]
Her lGingo went from the cockney to the gringo
EmAny time she sings a song the other girls sing along
And tDell all the fellas that the lady is single
A fiCckle way to tickle on a young man's tipple
She was Gup for doing what she liked
Any day, more like the night
She drEmowned drunk sorrows that she stole, bought, borrowed
She dDidn't like thugs but at the same time understood
CFellas will be fellas 'til the end of time
[Chorus]
GSheila goes out with her mate EmStella
Gets poured all over her fDella
'Cause she says "man, he ain't no bCetter"
Than the next man kicking up fGuss
Drunk she stumbles down by a rEmiver
Screams, calling "DLondon"
None of us heard her cComing
I guess the carpet weren't rolled Gout
G Em D C
[Verse]
GJack had a gang that he called the "EmMany Grams"
He was known as Smack Jack the CDrackerman
In life he was dealt some sChit hands
But the boy's coming back nowG
J' when I say, well there's Mickey and EmDan
That pin their minds up on the other oDne's
Man Lisa had a baby with SCam
Now Jack's on his own man
GWell done Jack, glug down that cider
You're rEmight, she's a slut, and you never fucking liked her
DNot liked what? He stopped, so shocked,
Because it tCurns out the last dance killed the pied piper
GTough little big man, friends with your daughters
EmOnly 'cause they drive him to pick up on his quarters
DBallers, lager night-brawlers,
Caught on the fCloor, think they're free
But they ain't near the border
GTwo young guns with your hellfire call (?!)
EmAlways did a favour, but never took an order
DBehave young scallywag, a fine young Gallahad
CGlad-ragged up, but only ever getting fag hags
GHung on his shoulder, cheap-priced shot tags
The Emslag better understand he came for the glamour
But tDhis sounds original, superficial the issue,
For oCne day Jack had thirty-five dopplegangers
[Chorus]
GSheila goes out with her mate EmStella
Gets poured all over her fDella
'Cause she says "man, he ain't no bCetter"
Than the next man kicking up fGuss
Drunk she stumbles down by a rEmiver
Screams, calling "DLondon"
None of us heard her cComing
I guess the carpet weren't rolled Gout
G Em D C
[Verse]
So tGhis is a short story about a girl, Georgina
EmNever seen a worst, clean young mess
Under stDress at best, but she pleased to see ya
We lCove her, God Bless, we lay her body to rest
It aGll dear started with Daddy's alcoholic
EmLightweight, drinking it down, numbing his brain
And the dDoctor couldn't get the heart there started
CBeat up, drugged up, she's feeling the strain
She says "Gin a rut, what the fuck am I supposed to do?"
EmSuck it up, star-struck, keep running through
DTrue, but as you try it ain't easy to do
She's been bCuckle-belt beaten from the back like a brat
GDon't know where she's going but she know where she at
So GeoEmrgie, it's time to chain react,
'Cause the tDruth is you know, she'll probably fall back,
CTears stream down her face, she screams away
GWhen I fall, no one catch me,
AEmlone, lonely I'll overdose slowly
Get scDared, I'll scream and shout,
But you kCnow it won't matter, she'll be passing out
[Bridge]
GGiggidy biggidy up, it's just another da-ay,
AnEmother sad story, that's tragedy
ParamDedic announced death at ten-thirty
CRip it up kick it, to split up the news
[Chorus]
GSheila goes out with her mate EmStella
Gets poured all over her fDella
'Cause she says "man, he ain't no bCetter"
Than the next man kicking up fGuss
Drunk she stumbles down by a rEmiver
Screams, calling "DLondon"
None of us heard her cComing
I guess the carpet weren't rolled Gout
