Fmaj7 C Gmaj7
Ill-informed, mis-educated dross falls from your face at a rate of not
C
I feel sorry for the one who has to share a bed with you,
I'd rather be dead than you
(whistle) Fmaj7 C Gmaj7 C
Fmaj7
But as per usual my tongue is firmly in cheek,
C
I'll be dreamin up something different next week.
Gmaj7
It's for the best if you just switch off,
C
I sound self-important like a product of one of the thee troughs
Fmaj7 C
No, I wouldn't want that, gossiping the day away tit for tat
Gmaj7
It's not your fault and it's just where you go
C
But in terms of reward you reap who you know
Fmaj7
You're like anorexic vultures on Oldham Street
C
You build each other up, the musical elite
Gmaj7 C
I wasn't invited 4 years ago, I'm still not and if I was I wouldn't show
Fmaj7
Now don't get me wrong they do lovely lunches
C
The muppet clintelle what a bunch of c****
Gmaj7
Passing judgement on things they don't know
C
I'd love to walk out and steal the show
Fmaj7 C
No, I wouldn't want that, gossiping the day away tit for tat
Gmaj7
It's not your fault and it's just where you go
C
But in terms of reward you reap who you know
Fmaj7
Please don't think that I'm having a go
G
Please know that you know that I'm having a go
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
It's about time that you know...
Fmaj7 C
No, I wouldn't want that, gossiping the day away tit for tat
Gmaj7
It's not your fault and it's just where you go
C
But in terms of reward you reap who you know
