Intro

Verse 1

And you were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery

Well the good things are never free

Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?

Verse 2

And I was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe

Wipe the slime from off your sleeve

You could follow me for weeks and I'm not going anywhere

Break 1

Sometimes it's hard to love someone

Until the day that they are gone

Verse 3

And I just had a dream the other night I was married to the Queen

And Madonna lived next door, I think she took a shine to me

And the kids were all grown up, but I had to turn her down

Cause I was still in love with you

Chorus

I'm turning Madonna down

I'm calling it my best move

I'll get a ticket to what you need

Break 2

x2

Verse 4

I remember doing nothing on the night sinatra died

And the night Geoff Buckley died

And the night Kurt Cobain died

And the night John Lennon died

My suggestions for extendeding the verse (as seen on BBC TV Top of The Pops):

John Bonham

Frank Zappa

Jimi Hendrix

Duane Allman

George Harrison

Marvin Gaye

Bob Marley

Elvis Presley

I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone

Chorus

And that was a lot of nights

And that was a lot of lads

Who lost a ticket to what they need

Verse 5

And I was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life,

Always hoped you'd be my wife,

But I never found the time for the question to arrive,

I just disguised it in a song

Verse 6

And songs are never quite the answer

Just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon

Helps to turn the days to night

While I was wrong and you were right

Chorus

And this was a lesson learned,

I'm happy to be your fool,

And get you tickets to what you need

Verse 7

(Whistled)

Chorus

I'm turning the lights down low

I'm ready to make my move

I'll get you tickets to what you neeeee-eeeed
