C
I'm just a shy romantic with my eyes on the loose
Bb F
I'm in a overcoated way
F
A poet in a garret
C
You know what people say
C
Standing at the barline with my lip on the curl
Bb F
I'm with the other lean and lear
F
My finger on the pulse
C
And my hand around a beer

Ah, Ahh, well I don't wanna know what's going round here

The singer in the band, you know, he sweat on a pose
Bb F
And he's really such a jerk

The New Musical Express and my own 4-way P.A.
