5. Coffee & TV

This intro is almost as the one on 13:

In the song there are a few guitar fills:

Graham play some strange chords during the verses. I saw the chords

from a live gig that I recorded. But I'll write 13 after them.

Here are the chords Graham plays in the song:

B7add13Am13:(54x5xx) At least it’s what Graham plays, maybe.

E: (022100) (Graham doesn’t play this at all. He plays GUITAR FILL 3.)

G7add13

F?: (133200) Play with a low thumb.

A♯7add13

C♯

A: (577655) Play with a low thumb.

C♯m

Graham often plays the bar chords with a low thumb. He doesn't play this

order all the way during the song. When you play the first two "13"

chords then bend the G string a little .But I think he uses some sort of

pedal that makes that "bending" sound.

I’m not sure if Damon plays an Am or an A.

Verse 1

BDo you feel like a chain store?

Am E(GUITAR FILL 1)

Practically floored

GOne of many Fzeros

And then I'm happy of rht rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will

always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

 (One chord sequence throughout= Gm C F E♭ F♯/F)

Streets like a jungle

So call the police

Following the herd

Down to Greece

Love in the 90's

Is paranoid

On sunny beaches

Take your chances, looking for

GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS

WHO LOVE BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS

WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS

ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE

Avoiding all work

Cos there's none available

Like battery thinkers

Count their thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers

Nothing is wasted

Only reproduced

You get nasty blisters

Du bist sehr schon

But we haven't been introduced

Where people go to drink away their gloom

He sat me down and so began

The story of a charmless man

2. He knows his Claret from his Beaujolais

I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray But then, nature didn't

make him that way (that way)

He knows the swingers and their cavalry

Says he can get in anywhere for free

And from this charmless man I just had to hide (away)

| Bridge |

| Chorus |

Lyrics:

He talks at speed, he gets nosebleeds

He doesn't see (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) his days are tumbling

Down upon him (Ooo-ooo-ooh)

And yet he tries so hard to please

He's just so keen (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) for you to listen (Ooo-ooo-ooh)

But no one's listening

And when you put it all together, there's the model of a charmless man

Oh, it's a century's remedy For the faint at heart A new start

(Try the simple life) He lives in a house A very big house In the country

He's got a fog in his chest So he needs a lot of rest In the country
