 Inside every teenage girl there's a fountain
F#m                                          E
 Inside every young pair of paints there's a mountain

 Inside every mother's eyes   is Tommy Tinkrem's bed

 Inside every candidate   waits a grateful dead

 I make it a thing, when I on my own to relief myself

             Bm                  F#                    E

[Verse]

F#m                             E

 Took me a fag, and a kick in the moon
        Bm                   E                    A                F#m

 It's a matter of life and the way you walk, you've got a Brylcream queen
                 Bm          F#                              G
 It' a matter of fact in the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean
             Bm          F#                     E
 A matter of fact that a cock ain't a cock on a twelve inch screen

 So I'll pretend I'm walking home

 You don't have to scream a lot to keep an age in tune
F#m                             E

 Let's pretend we're walking home
