Tiger Lillies - Your Suicides
C
Your suicides,
F
you do them with pride,
G C
you do them every year:
C
you hang yourself
F
from the branch of a tree,
G C
the branch it breaks, I fear.
C
Your suicides,
F
you do them with pride,
G C
that hotel in King's Cross:
C
you overdosed
F
on heroin,
G C
only the use of a limb you lost.
C
Your suicides,
F
you do them with pride,
G C
that time you slashed your wrists:
C
your blood it clotted
F
quickly,
G C
your blood was just too thick.
C
Your suicides,
F
you do them with pride,
G C
in your car with exhaust fumes:
C
some nosy parker
F
came along,
G C
your suicide was doomed.
C
Your suicides,
F
you do them with pride,
G C
but are you really sincere?
C
You say some day
F
you will succeed
G C
but you're ninety-three next year.
F
Yes, you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod),
C
you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod),
F G
you're ninety-three next year (silly old sod, silly old sod).
F
Yes, you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod),
C
you're ninety-three (silly old sod, silly old sod) ...
G C
you're ninety-three next year.
