[Verse]
A                                 
I saw him through a room-spin I 
  D
was tired enough to faint
A                               D
Carrying a chessboard like some old 
Romanian saint
        A
I said: hey good looking, whatcha 
got cooking?
         D
He said: nothing you want to try
A
Just a bunch rinkey-dinks who like 
expensive foreign drinks
    D
And you've got other fish to fry

[Chorus]
F#m            E                 
Look over there: the men dividing
        D
 up the countryside
F#m                E        
They got authority, they got a 
             D
college degree
F#m                E        
They got machinery, they got a 
              D
pretty big job to do
F#m                            E 
They got instructions and they 
                      D
don't want to bother 'bout me
E
No I'm standing here in the middle 
of the country

[Verse]
A                                 
I read the papers I know they want
           D
 to make a new road
A                        
To keep the trucks and the 
                        D
inter-city travellers out
A                          
Protect the little towns and 
            D
Victorian buildings
A                                 
That's where the money is and they
                          D
 don't want to spread it about

[Chorus]
F#m                      E       
I hear the sounds of the work 
          D
going on the highway
F#m                       E      
I smell the diesel in the air; it
                   D
 lets me know I'm alive
F#m                   E     
There goes the bus stop, guess 
                     D
everybody's got a motorcar
F#m                  E           
There goes the mailman, your 
             D
letters never arrive
E
What do you do when "potential" is 
your favourite word
And then the bus leaves you at the

A                            
I have a new home, I'm getting 
                     D
pushed a thousand different ways
A                                 
You said you never bruise, but you
           D
 could disappear
A                                 
I have the same old dreams: I like
                     D
 to walk around the streets at night
A                                 
I think you'd be surprised how 
             D
many times you appear

[Chorus]
F#m                              
Smoking on the bridge like a 
E                    D
tourist by the Houses Of Parliament
F#m                 E            
I'm feeling done-for, I'm feeling
         D
 sick in my heart
F#m                    E         
They took the floor away and they
                 D
 divided up the countryside
F#m                              
And we watch telly while they're 
E                    D
pulling everything apart
E
They got a blueprint up there in the
 government
They call it going forward, it's the
