Biography:
Levellers is a popular English rock band influenced by punk and traditional English music. The band is based in Brighton, England, where they were founded in 1988. There are several stories regarding how they got their name; from the Levellers, a radically democratic faction of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army; as a reference to "The Level", a flat open space near where members of the band used to live in Brighton; or simply, according to guitarist, Simon Friend, a word they chose from a dictionary.

Intro
*****
A, E, D (x6)
1st verse
*********
A E D
He thought he was drunk as can be
A E D
New white skinny rebel was he
A D
Because he knew what mattered
A D E
It's all in the clatter of the band's he'd seen
A E D
His words with wisdom would shock
A E D
Whether he meant them or not
A D
He'd save the world
A D
All the boys and the girls
E
But another single's all he'd be
Chorus (x2)
***********
A
That's sad
That's right
E
Another night
D E
Of someone else's fantasy
2nd verse
*********
(Same chords as 1st verse)
He thought he was cool with his tunes
He practiced the nack in his room
And in the evening he'd d.j.
With the slider at plus eight
Believing that at his feet we swoon
Now he is always there in the queue
While down on the dance floor it's you
And when he starts playing
You don't notice that these aren't his tunes
Chorus (x4)
***********
3rd verse
*********
He thought he could measure the world
Because he loved the flag when unfurled
First he's a lawyer excellent debater
You should have heard the mud he hurled
Now you've seen his face on t.v.
Leading parlimentary
When he makes decisions
That meet your derision
He reminds us all that we're free
Chorus (x4)
