...STUPID MARRIAGE... by The Specials
---------------------................
*from 'The Specials' (1979)*
Intro: (Spoken)
C
(n.)
Court in session. What do you mean; "Oi, oi, oi"?
Must have court in session. Order.
E A B
(Spoken over ):
My name is Judge Roughneck,
And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom.
Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me,
And charged with smashing this woman's window.
Before I sentence you; what have you got to say in your defence?
Verse 1:
E A B
I was walking down the street, one night,
E A B
When I saw her silhouette in a bathroom light.
E A B
Her way of life, baby; nothing to hide,
E A B
With her frosted glass shattered curtains open wide.
Chorus 1:
D A C G
Naked woman, naked man,
D A C G
Where did you get that nice sun-tan?
D A C G
You live in a castle built of sand,
D A C G
Naked woman, naked man.
Break:
C
(n.)
Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed.
And I can't stop the hatred running through my head.
Solo:
E A B
(x6)
Break:
E A B
(Spoken over ):
Silence in court. Order.
Rude boy, you have led me to believe,
That you was going out with a girl,
And she left you and married someone else.
So you got drunk and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property.
I have come to one conclusion;
That is to sentence you to five months in prison.
Before they take you down to the cells,
What have you got to say for yourself?
Verse 3:
E A B
He wanted to be something, but she knows he never will.
E A B
She's got him where she wanted and for-got to take her pill.
E A B
And he thinks that she'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies,
E A BbB C
(n.)
If that's a happy marriage; I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
Chorus 3:
D A C G
Married woman, married man,
D A C G
Where did you get that family plan?
D A C G
Mrs. Ewe and Mr. Ram,
D A C G
Where did you get that lovely lamb?
Coda: (Half Time)
D A
Naked woman, naked man,
C G
Where did you get that nice suntan? (Order in my courtroom!)
D A
Naked woman, naked man,
C G
Where did you get that nice suntan? (Hush up!)
(Increase Tempo):
D A
Naked woman, naked man,
C G
Where did you get that nice suntan?
D A
Naked woman, naked man,
C G
Where did you get that nice suntan?
D A
Naked woman, naked man,
C G
Where did you get that nice suntan?
D A
Naked woman, naked man,
C G
Where did you get that nice suntan?
C
(n.)
Naked woman, naked man, where did you get that nice sun-tan?
(Take him away!)
