Biography:
The Bible were an independent UK band with lead singer Boo Hewerdine. The band released two critically acclaimed albums in the mid-1980s.
In 1985, Hewerdine, who ran a record shop in Cambridge UK, formed The Bible, recruiting jazz drummer Tony Shepherd. They released an album of songs through the independent Norwich label Backs Records called Walking The Ghost Back Home.
The Bible became a fairly successful independent band, with a cult following spread mostly through word of mouth and live performances.

[chorus] :
C^ Cmaj7v C Cmaj7v D D5 Em7
how you love how you love to watch them burn
how you love how you love to watch them burn
D D5 Em7
cigarette girls
forgotten faces lipstick traces
who needs friends when you've got eyes
broken homes from crooked houses
crocodile tears and alligator smiles
[chorus]
[bridge]:
C G D Dsus D Dsus
I've been watching I've been seeing how's it done
C G Am
it's an ugly ugly world where everybody loves a cigarette girl
[break- pick around verse chords]
it breaks my heart to hear them talking
they say I hope I live before I get old
all that sadness all of it man-made
all that glitter that isn't gold
[chorus]
