Intro: G	Em
G                          D/F#
That's the place I used to work
G            D           C
When I was a wild, young turk
     G                 D/F#  C9
It's now the Museum of Industry
Em             D      Em
Schoolkids get in for free

Gasworks-smell of rotten eggs
Rubber works poured out the dregs
Now it smells of Dettol and pee
Lotteryland's the place to be
                                                  A                  H/C     C
Where the steelmill used to stand
Em             f#  g   a Em
There's a park in Lotteryland
G                     F#m
Be a pram-pusher on parole
E           D      E
Go windsurfing on the dole

They can put you right to sleep
Better than Brookside or The Street
It's lucky numbers, one, two three
Lotteryland's the place to be

Instr. verse.*

We don't care who runs the shop
Left wing, right wing, curse the lot
A million quid talks sense to me
Lotteryland's the place to be

Now gone is dirt and gone is strife
And gone is struggle and gone is life
"Shove it, mate, I'm busy see"
Lotteryland's the place to be

Now we triple lock the doors
Streets are full of thieves and whores
In a padded cell eternity
 Lotteryland's the place to be
Lotteryland’s the place to be - Lotteryland’s the place to be…E/Hm7-9 Em
