You think he'd realize
G                 D            Em D
But he's infatuated, with ideas
       Em  D                  Gmaj7         Cmaj7
Of possessions and far-flung social policies
Cmaj7                      G
His daddy works on the council
G                              Dm
His missus loves the silver spoon
Dm                                        G                   Cmaj7
Swore she'd never kiss a Tory, but this boy was too good to lose
Cmaj7             G
And I'll listen caref'lly
G                       Dm
With ears pressed to the floor
Dm
As you make your way downstairs
G                           Cmaj7
You haven't got far to fall
Cmaj7
Now it's red, now it's death
Cmaj7
Now it's everything she needed
Cmaj7     G
Now it's four, open doors
G

Pillows pressed under your knees
Dm
Now it's a sad, sappy sucker
   G                    C
To ensure her the ending
