In the town where I was born lived a man who went to work
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And he told us of his life building spaceships on forty pounds a week.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And he'd take us all for rides, and we'd do some serious drugs in
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
On board the Enterprise Allowance we could do whatever we liked.
E MajorE A augmentedA
And we could go to a Meadowlark Lemon seminar,
E MajorE A augmentedA
Be at the Tony Monopoly incident,
E MajorE A augmentedA
Sort a strobe for Connie Plank,
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA (rpt instr)
Shop around with Johnny Kwango.
E MajorE A augmentedA
If you would come with me to Dawlish
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA (rpt instr)
I'd be like Stadler's caddy for ya.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And we'd return in time for tea and our dads would not have inklings
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Said we'd been to organise a frisbee competition
A augmentedA
With the Gypsies down the road.
E MajorE A augmentedA
D'ya wanna swap a hundred spandex overcoats
E MajorE A augmentedA
For the mental age of a haversack

It's been like this since we saw PragVEC at the Melkweg.

Oh I doctored my edible thong with listeria
BB A augmentedA
Now my only hope is that your offspring walks backwards
BB A augmentedA BB A augmentedA
Just as I expected the shopkeeper appeared
