A5

Verse 1:

A5
Saw a suit in Daddy’s wardrobe
I took a swipe
A5
Lapels, size of islands, gangster white line pinstripe
                          A5/D                    A5
Laughed off the street in the name of my rock ‘n’ roll
A5
Still a caterwauling groove will start off vacation
A5
Eighties plastic Soul don’t give palpitation
                       A5/D                A5
Richie, he no like, he call out the firing squad

Verse 2:

A5
Richie look for suede, me I look for leather
A5
Sartorially we groove, occasional disaster
                                     A5/D                    A5
For tight black canvas no make for a straight legged sixties scenester
A5
Then we hit the street with poise of commando
A5
Clothes, guitar, but arsenal missing one thing
                           A5/D                      A5
Exotic Glasgow chick, they call her the "Carmen Veranda"

Verse 3:

N.C.
Me and Richie dream to be like Mr. Richard
N.C.
Strung out secure, yes, we make like junkie
                                                      A5
Hooked up on that stuff they call it the rock ‘n’ roll
A5
I need to consecrate
I need consecration
A5
Clipped and soulful guitar riffing out the nation
                          A5/D             A5
The nation in my head the national sixties sensation
