(One chord sequence throughout= Gm C F Eb F#/F)
Streets like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
on holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances, looking for
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LOVE BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE
Avoiding all work
Cos there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count their thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced

(Tracy Jacks) and all the seams are splitting
Everyday he got closer
B EHe knew in his heart he was over
F#m BSaying I'd love to stay here and be normal
But its just so overrated
(Tracy Jacks) left home without warning
Gm7 A Gm7 A(Tracy Jacks) at five in the morning
B A B A(Tracy Jacks) got on the first train to Walton
(Tracy Jacks) stood on the sea front laughing
Gm7 A Gm7 A(Tracy Jacks) ran up and down naked
Gm7 A Gm7 A(Tracy Jacks) got stopped by the police
(Tracy Jacks) driven back to London
And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
G#m A BTracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
B7Saying its just so overrated

enormous well being
And then I'm happy of rht rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will
always be a bit of my heart devoted to it
It's got nothing to do with your Vorsprung Durch Technic you know
And it's got nothing to do with you joggers who go round and round and round

LONDON LOVES

G AThe lights are magic
And he's got money
G ASo he'll be lucky
G AHe'll shoot like an arrow
A Bm F#m
London loves
The mystery of a speeding car
A Bm F#mLondon loves
A Bm F#m FThe misery of a speeding heart
(G and A again)
It's Love-U-Like and everyone's at it
But words are cheap and his mind is elastic
He loves the violence
Keeps ticking over
So sleep together
Before today is sold forever
A Bm F#mLondon loves
A Bm F#mThe way people just fall apart
London loves
A Bm F#m FThe misery of a speeding heart
(The rest of the song is just improvisation on this theme)

With you over and over
On the white cliffs of Dover

The white cliffs of Dover
So when you push me over
Don't bury me I'm not worth anything

C BmAnd the Queen she's gone round the bend
EJumped off Land's End
