I ask you nicely
D Em F CGet my face slapped under wraps
GWhat's going on precisely
Is there something wrong perhaps?
C D7 GSurprise, surprise (surprise, surprise)
D C D7 G D Em DIt's more like a booby trap than a booby prize
Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty rifle
G D EmYou're loosening all the screws that hold the hinges of my life
C D7 GFat cats and army brats
Hep cats in dog tag pawing over girly mags
G F Bm C#m D E6
Pretty words don't mean much anymore
G Bb Em F#mI don't mean to be mean much anymore
All I see are snapshots, bigshots, tender spots
(1) mug shots, machine slots
(2) machine slots, mug shots
'Till you don't know what's what
Em F CYou don't know what you got
G D Em F C
Curious women running after curious men
GCuriosity didn't kill the cat
It was a poisoned pen
C D7 G DBut there's not much choice (it's Hobson's choice)
C D7 G D Em DBetween a cruel mouth and a jealous voice
Got back to London
D EmPicked a paper from the man
GNo words of consolation
Just cartoons and titter tatter
C D7 GWell well, fancy that
C D7 G CMillions murdered for a kiss me quick hat
No backbone, blood and guts
D Em FBetter keep your big mouth shut
(Chorus)
F C G
You don't know what you got . . .
