Robyn Hitchcock Point It At Gran Am F Alone and pointless by her mouldering self C Dm She stares at the tin of sardines on the shelf Am E By a paraffin lamp in a dingy brown room Am E Am Gran sits and broods in the thickening gloom Dm Am It's a gloom that congeals; it's so greasy and thick E Am You could cut into strips and roast on a stick Dm Am And hand round to friends but there's nobody there Am E Just Gran, on her own, in a miserable chair E
So don't point it at me Am Point it at Gran F She needs it more than I do C And more than Princess Anne Dm When Princess Anne's eighty-two Am And living in a one room flat in Hackney E Maybe she could do with a bit as well E Don't point it at me Am Don't point it at yourself F Just point it at Gran C And the sardines on the shelf Dm Don't point it at me Am I've had more than enough E Just point it at Gran She could do with plenty of stuff E Don't point it at me Am Point it at Gran F Well, it could be a firehose C Or it could be a flan Dm Now some people are happy Am And some people are bored E And some people are left And completely ignored F Am E
