Biography:
Steve Harley (born Stephen Malcolm Ronald Nice in south London on 27 February 1951) is an English singer and songwriter, best known as frontman of the rock group Cockney Rebel (subsequently Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel), with whom he still tours.
Growing up in the New Cross area of London and attending Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham College, his musical career began in the late 1960s when he was busking (with John Crocker) and performing his own songs, some of which were later recorded by him and the band.

[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
In a daggers-drawn debate
E
You get caught in the crossfire of words
A
Aimed at getting you to sing for your life
E
Though you know it's absurd
[Verse 2]
F#m
And you're limited to one glass of wine
C#m
When your heart's set on thirds
F#m
And you're led to the river of sighs
C#m
To get fed to the birds
[Chorus]
B
While children stare
B
'Cause you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
[Verse 3]
A
Any time is the right time to go
E
If you've finished your act
A
And when the camera pans the man
E
With the gun in a suicide pact
[Verse 4]
F#m
Though you've been learning to survive
C#m
With your dignity and memories intact
F#m
'Cause it's easier to die in your sleep
C#m
When the city's been sacked
[Chorus]
B
You're over there
B
And you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
[Verse 5]
A
When you're naked in the sun
E
And your neighbours start to gossip and sneer
A
And your sponsors want more
E
Forgetting any more could end your career
[Verse 6]
F#m
Then some nurse who's been cursed
C#m
With a grin that can stab like a spear
F#m
Tells you nothing's gonna save you from your past
C#m
You're expected to cheer
[Chorus]
B
For a dare
B
But you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
[Solo]
A E A E
F#m C#m F#m C#m
B A
[Verse 7]
A
So you find you're a voice
E
In the ranks of a funeral choir
A
And your parasite friends
E
From the past make a dash for the wire
[Verse 8]
F#m
And your debt's long enough
C#m
To be wrapped 'round an Anglican spire
F#m
Mean you're so full of hope for the future
C#m
Your libido's on fire
[Chorus]
B
It isn't fair
B
When you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
A
