Arcadie
G C G - D7 | G7 C D7
In Arcadie, your life trips along
It's pure and simple as the shepherd's song
Seraphic pipes along the way in Arcadie
In Arcadie
Never saw I such a scene
Such maids upon such a molten green
They employ their holiday with dance and game
And things I may never name
In Arcadie
You said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and so wise
But now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes
In Arcadie
So you see how twisted it becomes
See how quickly twisted it becomes
When the cat gut binds my ankles to your bedstead
That ain't love, no that ain't love
Said he was your teacher
Taught you so true and so wise
Now you know more than your teacher
I see nothing but cool self-regard in your eyes
In Arcadie, your life trips along
Pure and simple as the shepherd's song

Last Of The English Roses
A C#m | A G D A
You did look dapper in your mother's old green scarf
with your famous quality of
of those travels and that song
and you were slapped by that slapper
and how we all laughed
she laughed the loudest and sang one two three
she could charm the bee stings off the bees
and we all sang while we skipped and danced and hung around
she's the last of the English roses
she's the last of the English roses
but she don't speak a word of the language
all cheeky and it was safe
and we all fell along
rollin' 'round the playground
and if you saw us you would say
we all fell along
rollin' round the playground ...
and fall into forever
she always knew what words to say
her Winstons from her Enochs
and... across their backs
and the Kappas from the Reeboks
around the snooker table
she danced the franti tutti
(she was six, you know)
and then she spilt her lager
twisting girls of great beauty
and the nine to five
ooh, in a single eye
when we all sang and skipping and dancing and hanging along
ah you know it brought the boys together
and it was all the girls together
she's the last of the English roses
she's the last of the English roses
she's the last of the English roses
aw she's the last of

1939 Returning
A G D A | C#m C# B#m | D A G
Captured and Clandestine
Turned into the light
Nearly was in for a shoeing
If they'd saw through his lies and they saw through his lies
Captured and Clandestine
Turned into the light
He was in for a shoeing
It just wasn't to be his night, his night
Tread carefully tread carefully
upon the drifting ice
caught behind enemy lines
in 1939
In Germany he sacrificed his life
caught behind enemy lines
in 1939
Tread carefully tread carefully
upon the drifting ice
behind enemy lines
in 1939

A Little Death Behind The Eyes
Gm7 Cm7 | Em A Em A
A little death around the eyes
Take your medicine in your hotel room
That's your medicine
Better rest on all fours
That's your medicine
In a nut shell
Your boyfriend's name was Dave
But I was bold and brave
And now you're mine
You cook and clean and sow when I tell you to
Dance and drink and screw when I want you to
If I ask you to
A little death around the eyes
Your boyfriend's name was Dave
But I was bold and brave

Salome
Bm F# Bm F# G Bm G F#
In the coldest
the coldest of nights
a fire and light to warm my bones
I've had enough of the dreadful cold
And from the flames of his silent maid
I stand before her amazed
as she dances and demands
the head of John the Baptist on a plate
And in the morning
shaken and disturbed
among the soft white fur
see all the dust dance in the morning light
sets the room alight
And by the telly of his silent maid
well I sit up amazed
as she dances and demands
the head of Isadora Duncan on a plate.
And his silent maid
I stand before her amazed
as she dances and demands
the head, of John the Baptist on a plate
In the coldest
the coldest of nights
a fire and light
to warm my bones
and I've had enough of the dreadful cold
and from the flames of his silent maid
I stand before her amazed

Sweet by and by

One of those songs they never play on your radio
The signal's are lost at sea cobwebs fall
And the needle skips the groove
One of those songs they never play on your radio
The signal's are lost at sea cobwebs fall
And the needle skips the groove
Hate to say I told you so
but I told you so
That dirty so and so
the sweet by and by
One of those songs they never play on your radio
The signal's are lost at sea cobwebs fall
And the needle skips the groove

Through The Looking Glass
C Cm C Cm B | F Dm G C
In the morning there's a buzz of flies
Between the pillows and the skies
That beg into your eyes
Through the looking glass
And between your thighs
And it's written no small surprise
Let's straight down the rabbit hole
There we go
I've been meaning to tell you
A sentimental thing that occurred to me
I've been wanting to show you
A set of photographs
That'll make you laugh and smile
You might wanna stick one on his nose
Ram his teeth down his drunk hole
They've nowhere else to go
Lala Lala
A sentimental thing
A sentimental thing

Palace of Bone
Am E Am E Am E Am G Am | Dm Am Dm Am G
Winding through the hills together
Winding on that Snaky Road
Winding on forever winding on that Snaky Road
Winding through the hills forever
Winding on that Snaky Road
There ain't no time together
Time spent together on the Snaky Road
What's that they're selling you?
All Lotions and Potions and smelly oo?
You gotta pick a pocket or two
In the clearing,
Well I'm gonna build me a palace of bone
Wide open walls and an ebony throne
And all the broken children from every broken home
Can come and live in the palace of bone
Said I'm gonna live in a palace of bone
Wide open walls and an ebony throne
there ain't no blackened heart, no innocent soul?
can come and dance in the palace of bone

Sheepskin Tearaway
A C#m Bm C#m
She just opened her heart to a tearaway
Sheepskin Tearaway
He was wearing of scars and full of heroin
Though she thought from the start
that not one single thing would ever be ok
She didn't listen anyway
She just opened her heart to a castaway
They held on tight in the dark
And she heard him say
All my life I've been fighting
And making the best of a very bad lot in here
She opened her heart to a tearaway
Sheepskin Tearaway
He was full of scars and full of heroin
Though she thought from the start
not that one single thing would ever be ok
But still she opened her door, her purse and her heart to a tearaway, Sheepskin Tearaway
She she she opened her heart to a
She she she Sheepskin Tearaway
She opened her heart to a tearaway, Sheepskin Tearaway
Though she knew from the start
That on one single thing would be ever be OK
Still she opened her heart to a tearaway
Tearaway
Sheepskin tearaway
At night they held on tight in the dark
And as she brushed her hair away, she heard him say
"All my life I've been fighting and making the best
Of a very bad lot inde-e-e-ed"

Broken Love Song
(Capo 8) Dm Am (with some finger lifts)
Take a broken love song
Keep it by your side
Never be lonely
Find a place to hide
Under the west way, down by the scrub
Waiting forever, killing time
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest, Still
Better days, we had no care
How long, hanging by a thread
How long, can you reserve me
Take a broken love song
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest, Still, Still
Take a broken love song
Leave a broken heart
Take a broken love song
Leave a broken heart
Take a broken love song
Leave a broken heart
Take a broken love song
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest, Still, Still
New Love Grows On Trees
........................................
E Am D | G A E
Are you still talking to
All of those dead film stars
Like you used to
And are you still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes
And perfect crimes
Like you used to love
And if you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you like you asked me to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you I know you told me to
But I really don't want to
I remember all of the thing-things said to me
Until ... calvary
Ah you said, you said new love grows on trees
New love grows on trees
New love grows on, new love grows on trees
Are you still shaking out
All the dead wood from your bed love
Well times don't change and you're still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes for love divine
Oh no, you really don't have to
If you're still alive
When you're twenty five
Shall I kill you
Oh I know you asked me to
But I really don't want to
I remember every single thing you said to me
You said new love grows on trees
New love grows on trees

Lady, Don’t Fall Backwards
Em A7 Dmaj7 Bm |C# Bb7 D#m G#
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
When the cold wind that blows
When the cold wind that blows in my heart
It was a summer breeze
And she would meet me
In Chinatown for opium and tea
And she always brought me flowers
Oh, but I spared you those old ballads
All the songs I couldn't play
But every giro day
Where you'd dress me like a ladyboy
And take me high out of the way
And let the horse chase the new deal away
No if we make love in the morning
Oh, don't my eyes look like two marbles in my head
But Lady don't you fall backwards
Come on fall into my arms
And don't you fall backwards
I wouldn't want for you to come to any harm
And tell me if the darkness comes
I will sing you a song
And I'll love you forever
Till the morning comes
But don't you fall backwards
Come on and fall into my arms
end.
