2.Last of the english roses

C#m: X1111999

Intro:

Verse:

Oh my you did look dapper in your mothers old green scarf

with your famous Aunty, Arthurs trousers on

Got slapped by that slapper and we all laughed

But she laughed the loudest in 93

"Saucy" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground,

"Cheeky" you'd say and we all fell around, rolling 'round the playground.

In 94

Bridge:

Charm the bees knees off the bees

Skipping and dancing hand in hand

pre-chorus

Yeah it was all the boys together

and all the girls together

Chorus

She's the last of the english ro-oses

She's the last of the english ro-oses

Verse:

She knows her Rodneys from her Stanleys and her Kappas from her Reebok

And her tit from her tat and her Winstons from her Enoks

And round the Snooker table she danced the Frutti-Tutti

And she almost spilled her lager toasting girls of great beauty

Bridge:

2009 comin of age, comin alive

pre-chorus

Yeah it was all the boys together

and all the girls together

Chorus

She's the last of the english ro-oses

She's the last of the english ro-oses

Intro

For The end of the verse

...his night

Verse:

Captured clandestine

Crawled into the lights

He knew he was in for a shoeing

Just wasn't to be his night

Dragged out of the frozen Rhine

For the Motherland and the Third Reich

A toeing's as good as a shoeing

When it's not to be your night

Chorus:

Tread carefully, so carefully

Upon the drifting ice

Caught behind enemy lines

In 1939

For Germany he sacrificed his life

Caught behind enemy lines

There in 1939

Verse:

Kids knee-deep in rubble

London urchins grey with dust

Packed off ours in evacuations

To farmers' wives

Green and pleasant lives

Far from the doodlebugs

Nanna Doll she still remembers

Leaving town in worn-out shoes

Now she's back out west in sheltered accommodations

Homes for the old where pills aren't the only blues

Chorus:

Tread carefully, so carefully

Upon the drifting ice

Staring blank into the TV guide

In 2009

How it's hurting me, I've only seen her twice

Since you went west for the second time

Since 1939

A little death around the eyes

Your boyfriend's name was Dave

But I was bold and brave

And now you're mine

You'll cook and clean and sew when I tell you to

When I ask you to

If I ask you to

Then I want you to

You don't need telling twice with me

No you don't need telling twice

You know who wears the trousers

No one wears the trousers

(In a nutshell)

To break free

Yeah well, you'll never break free of me

Your boyfriend's name was Dave

But I was bold and brave

And now you're mine

You'll cook and clean and sew when I tell you to

And you'll dance and screw when I want you to

In the hotel room you take your medicine

On all fours that's your medicine

You're feeling better, son?

(Filling in the cracks)

Feeling any better, son?

(In a nutshell

I'll wish upon a star)

Some vague idea of a man you used to be

Of the man you used to be to me

(Filling in the cracks)

Fee fi fo fum

Smell the blood of an Englishman

Be he alive or be he dead

(Filling in the cracks)

(Wish upon a star)

A little death around the eyes

Intro riff

In the cold, coldest of nights

The fire I light, to warm my bones

Oh love, had enough, of the dreadful cold

And from the flames, appears Salome

I stand before her amazed

As she dances and demands

The head of john the baptist on a plate

In the morning, shaken and disturbed

From under soft white fur

I see the dust in the morning bright she sets the room alight

And by the telly appears Salome

I sit up amazed

As she dances and demands

The head of John the Baptist on a plate

Oh, It's Salome

Oh, It's Salome

In the cold, coldest of nights

The fire I light, to warm my bones

Oh love, had enough, of the dreadful cold

And from the flames, appears Salome

I stand before her amazed

As she dances and demands

The head of any bastard on a plate

Intro

I am the rain held in disdain, lotions and potions just add to my fame

When I’m not in Spain, I fall on the plain

The truth is I’m ruthless I can’t be contained

I’m the rain

My friend the wind, with breath he is twinned

Blow high or low high tornadoes to spin

My mother the cloud, in widows black shroud

Gives birth to the earth before fields can be ploughed

Up in the sky we’ve demand to supply

I am necessity, base of the recipe

I’m the rain

My cousin the snow lays blankets below

States that her flakes are just threads to be sewn

My rival the sun, it ripens the plum

Is feared and revealed it gives sight to the gun

Up in the sky we’ve demands to supply

I am necessity, base of the recipe

Up in the sky we’ve demands to supply

I am necessity, base of the recipe

Dm Cadd9 Dm Cad99

I, I’m the rain, I’m the rain

(faster)

Oh, oh, oh, oh….

(slower)

I am the rain, who’s held in disdain

The truth is I’m ruthless I can’t be contained

Was it so long ago?

When we first hit the road

I remember

Those earlier shows

When we used to go

ba ba da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Was it so long ago,

When you said you loved me so

And we kisses untold

Your love wouldn't fall

Oh my where did you go

Oh I don't know

You didn't say goodbye

Where did you go?

Oh you lie,

And you left me wandering, wondering

if love's just a lie

left me wondering if you've found some other guy

Well all I do is hang my head and cry

Sometimes I moan, sometimes I moan

Where did you go

Oh I don't know

You didn't say goodbye

Where did you go

I don't know, left me wondering

If loves just a lie

Everywhere I go people say

"Who's that funny guy?

All he does is hang his head and cries"

Sometimes he moans, sometimes he moans

Oh, Oh why?

When we used to go

ba ba da da...etc

We've been a long time together

Time together on a snakey road

There ain't no time spent together

Like time spent together on a snakey road

Winding on through the hills together

Winding on that snakey road

Winding on forever

Winding on that snakey road

What's that they're telling you,

Your future? I'm telling you

They're gonna pick your pocket too

We've been a long time together

Time together on a snakey road

There ain't no time spent together

Like time spent together on a snakey road

Winding on through the hills together

Winding on that snakey road

Winding on forever

Winding on that snakey road

What's that they're selling you,

Lotions, potions? I'm telling you

They're gonna pick your pocket or two

And in the clearing...

MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)

I'm going to build me a palace of bone

With wide open walls and an ebony throne

And all the broken children

From every broken home

MAIN RIFF

Can all come and live in the palace of bone

Break: Am C C/B, occasionally mixed up with BREAK RIFF (see bottom of tab)

MAIN RIFF (see bottom of tab)

I'm going to build me a palace of bone

There ain't no blackened heart

No innocent soul

Who can't come and live in the palace of bone

I'm going to build me a palace of bone

Intro

Take a broken love song, keep it by your side

Never be lonely, find a place to hide

By the west way, inside the scrubs

How long must we wait, for they're killing us? Killing us

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

Still

Through my cell window, hear the loft boys sing

Come on you R's, carried on the wind

Every morning, I'll be singing like a caged bird who might say

John, Paul, George and Ringo help pass the hours away

Free as a bird would I be, another dawn creeps up on me on me

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

Letters from faceless haters who'd love to see my swinging in my cell

Oh I never saw a man who looked like such a wistful eye,

as the fear of blue prisoners call the sky

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

They are the loneliest

Still

Verse: E, Am, D

Are you still talking to

All of those dead film stars

Like you used to

And are you still thinking of

All of those pretty rhymes

And perfect crimes

Like you used to love

And if you're still alive

When you're twenty five

Shall I kill you like you asked me to

If you're still alive

When you're twenty five

Shall I kill you I know you told me to

But I really don't want to

Chorus: G, A, E

I still remember all of the things you said to me

You were the man and I was Calvary

And you said, ah you said

New love grows on trees

New love grows on trees

New love grows on... new love grows on trees

E, Am, D

Bridge: Abm, C#m, F#, B, C, B

That makes perfect nonsense to me

But the price of being free these days it’s ridiculous

Verse: E, Am, D

Are you still shaking out

All the dead wood from your bed love

Well times don't change and you're still thinking of

All of those pretty rhymes for love divine

Oh no, you really don't have to

If you're still alive

When you're twenty five

Shall I kill you

Oh I know you asked me to

But I really don't want to

Chorus: G, A, E

I still remember all of the things you said to me

You were the man and I was Calvary

And you said, ah you said

New love grows on trees

New love grows on trees

New love grows on... new love grows on trees
