The Laundry
By: The Lilac Time

Intro: Ahh, ta dah dah , ta dah dah (2X)
A
Walk with me through the scrapyard, Passed yesterday's most wanted car
D A
Piled high in the daylight, Chicken skins in the dustbins
A D
Fur coats in the wardrobe, Spare bed in the good night
D E D (A E A)
Don't bother with the bills, Fly
Chorus:
A D E D A
Nobody grows old, We just crease and fold like the laundry
A D E D A
Nobody will die, We're hung out to dry like the laundry
A
Walk with me in the moonlight, Hear the freight trains roll from another life
A
Remember your bedroom ceiling, Remember those old patterned curtains
D E D (A E A)
When you were sleeping Don't worry who will see, Cry
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental: A
