[Verse 1]
[G](He[Eb]llo, what[C] have
we here? )
[G](A young lady)
(To what do I owe [A]this pleasant
surprise my [Eb]pretty one?)
(How may I be of service this
[C]dark and wintry night?)
[G](Ah, I see you wish me [A]to look into the future,
[Aaug]your future)[C]
(After gcses, a- levels,
[G]university)
(After your first badly [A]paid job[Aaug]
in advertising)
[Eb](Okay my pretty [C]just cross my palm with plastic,
[G]and I'll see what I
[A]Can do)
(Wait)
(The fog is lifting)
[Aaug]I see oriental pap[C]er globes
Hanging like [G]decomposing cocoon[A]s
[Ebdim]While exo[Aaug]t ic ca[Eb]ndles
[Aaug]overload[C]
The musty [G]air with
their stale [A]perfumes
And I [Aaug]see lent[Ebdim]ils,[Aaug]
[Eb]beans, seaweed [C]and rice
In [G]jars on the window- [A]sill
[Ebdim]And it ain't [Aaug]hardly enough
[Eb]to feed the [C]mice
Running be[G]hind [Bm]the lines of [Aaug]allergy [A]pills
[Bb]All these things w[C]ill come to pass
[Gm]When heroes of [Dm]the middle- class
Face [Ab]up to their res[Gm]ponsib[Eb]ilities[D]
I [Ebdim]see and Indi [Aaug]an fert[Eb]ility god[C]
He's got [G]thirty seven limbs [A]to spare
[Ebdim]And taste[Aaug]less tie-[Eb]
[Aaug]dyed tablecl[C]oths
That double [G]up as evening [A]wear
And I [Aaug]see naked
bodies twist [C]and turn
On [G]the futon of dreams [A]fulfilled
But their [Aaug]three- year- old k[Eb]id
seems [C]unconcerned
He'd rather [G]swallow [Bm]all
[G]those all[Aaug]ergy pil[A]ls
[C]All [Bb]these things will [C]come to pass
[Gm]When heroes [C]of the middle- [Dm]class
Face [Ab]up to their res[Gm]ponsib[Eb]ilities[D]
I [G]see [D]unspeakable vul[C]garity[D]
[Bb]Institutionalise[Gm]d mediocrity
[D]Infinite tra[C]gedy
Rise up [D]little souls, join [Bb]the doomed [Gm]army
[D]Fight the good fight,
[C]wage the[D] unwinnable war
El[Gm]egance against ignorance
[D]Difference against ind[C]ifference
Wit [D]against shit
My [A]words [G]fly [Eb]up to heav[D]en,
[Em]my t[A]houghts remain[F] below[D][Em][G]
[A]Words [Gm]said [F]without [Dm]feeling [D]never[G][D]
[Gm]to[Dm][Gm]
[D]heaven go[G][Gm]
[A][Bb][C][Gm]
[Dm][Ab][Eb][F][Aaug]
[C]All [Bb]these [C]things will come to pass
When [Gm]heroes of [Dm]the middle- class
Face [Ab]up, repent, and p[Eb]ay the price
For [Fm]acci[Gm]denta[Ab]lly c[Fm]reating [Bb]life[Eb]
An [Ab]oversight for [Db]which they
[Ab]must [Db]atone[D]
And sacrifice their [Aaug]own
