Memory Foam

Am
When you’re needing a rest
C
After your hard day’s done
G
Lay back on a mattress
Ab-A
Made of memory foam
D B7+G
Red skies, red eyes
E7 A7
Red trails through yellow mist
D B7+G
Red lights where the aeroplanes fly
E7 A7
Red lips that have just been kissed
G#7 C#m
Telling him she’s going home
F#7 Bm
Thumb and little finger mime the telephone
E7 run
She’ll never call but he won’t be alone
A run
She’s still there in the memory foam
Green fingers, green grass
Green shoots coming through the mud
Greenhouse, broken glass
Terracotta, dirt and blood
This week’s lover has all but gone
There’s no one left she can count upon
But the bed won’t ever let her be alone
He’s still there in the memory foam
Fifteen years of memory
Or your money back, that’s our guarantee
There’s a product designed to fit every home
Sleep like a baby on memory foam
White veil, white shoes
Tries on the dress in front of her sister
Why wait? There’s nothing to lose
Why pretend that they’re going to miss her?
She’s not heard a word we’ve said
She’s let this boy go to her head
Leave them now and let them go to bed
On a mattress made of memory foam

I want to be
joined at the hip
Joined at the lip
Together from tip to fingertip
We're soul to soul,
heart to heart
I want to be skin to skin,
Right now, you and I are just
Body parts
Sunshine through the window
Clothes on the floor
Wheels on the gravel
Lock on the door
Whatever you want
I want it more
Drinking from the bottle
Ashtray on the shelf
I'm loving everything
That's not part of myself
Anything is possible
I just can't help
Myself

Well it’s Thursday night and I’ve just got paid
I’m sensible with money, and I like to save
I’ve got a mortgage on a first floor flat
With it’s own little garage just out the back
(all on A)
E
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly sensibilly guy
A
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
E
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly sensibilly guy
A
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
D
You’ll notice me when I walk by
A, B7
With a sensible smile and you’ll ask why
E
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
A
Sensibilly guy
I’m going to party but I don’t like a fuss
I’ll stay here till eleven so I can get the bus
If I meet a lady I’ll be so very pleased
I hope mother says she’s good enough for me
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly sensibilly guy
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly sensibilly guy
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
You’ll notice me when I walk by
I’d love to chat but I’ve got to fly
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
Sensibilly guy
D, A
Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, that’s my cup of tea
B7, A+, E7
No one’s ever going to get the best of me
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly sensibilly guy
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly sensibilly guy
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
You’ll notice me when I walk by
I’m so lonesome, I could cry
I’m a sensibilly sensibilly guy
Sensibilly guy

When I said ‘I love you’
You thought that I was joking
Just playing easy to get.
I’d be lying if I said
I knew what I was doing
That’s as true now as when we met.
Careless talk
Fearless feelings
The element of surprise
Tell the truth
The way you see it
Careless talk costs lives
You’d heard it all before
Enough to know the score
They’re all the same underneath
I don’t know what you saw
Or why you ignored it,
Took a chance and believed
Careless talk…
All the lives you could have led
All the people you’d have have met
All the things you could have said
But never did
All the things you could have seen
All the things you could have been
If you hadn’t stayed with me
Careless talk costs lives
If you’d have told me ‘no’
I would have practised more
Learned to sing and maybe how to play
But if I could put together
Fancy words and jazzy chords
I’d just sing ‘I love you’ anyway
Careless talk…

It’s the time of my life where they’re
burning the heather
I can’t make anything last forever
Sometimes I think
there’s nothing left to add
Comes to us all in the end
And that’s sad
I can’t hide it
It’s there for all to see
the lines on my face
Under the mirror ball
But it’s Friday night
I’m out with the lads
And for a middle aged white man
I don’t dance too bad
I’m not pretending I’ve got moves
I don’t care, I’ve got nothing to prove
My knees don’t bend and I’m carrying some weight
But I’ve got two good feet and plenty to shake
Now give me four on the floor
And some rotating lights
A clean shirt, I’m on fire tonight
I’m as light as a feather
At least in my head
For a middle aged white man
I don’t dance too bad
I’m hungover every morning
I’m worried every night
I’m pretty sure I’ve wasted
The days of my life
You won’t remember my name,
I’m just your daughter’s friend’s dad
But for a middle aged white man
I don’t dance too bad

A Fine Hotel
02:19
|

E, C#7, F#7
I’m sitting on the steps of an art deco hotel
B7, E, B+
Count the hands waving, wishing me well
E, C#7, F#7
I’m so near the end, I’ve started smoking again
B7, E
Better burn this money before I go to hell
G#7, C#m
The kids are all at each other’s throats
F#7, B7, B+
I could give it away, burn their boats
E, G#m, C#m
I’m in soft leather slippers and a sheepskin coat
B7, E
And this truly is a fine hotel
In my better days, I kept it real
I never paid for something that I could steal
Anyone who crossed me
Found out to his cost
There’s a time to stand up and a time to kneel
But the hangman is needing his fee
“Come in, number nine” means me
The kids and their kids are swimming in the sea
This truly is a fine hotel
Am
Anyone owes me favours
Snap my fingers, they’ll pay
E
I’m a fighter, not a lover
But I’ve got one thing to say
Am
I’m waiting for the tide rolling in from the sea
B7 B+
I want her face to be the last thing I see
Watch them all parading on the promenade
Girls playing hard to get, boys just playing hard
My playing days are done
I’m setting with the sun
Going to play with the moon and the stars
I don’t believe in life everlasting
Light me another, I’m gasping
Give me one last dance, I’m asking
In this truly fine hotel
