[Verse 1]
G                    Em          
It stabbed me in the chest like 
   D                   C
the pimp prudent's knife
G                    Em          
Into poor wandering Beckett under
   D                   C
 a mother of pearl sky
At the back of the wall, I bawled, 
cursing all in reel and rhyme
G                    Em          
While feeling out of sorts like a
             D                   C
 roadsweeper dressed up to the nines

           C
As the multicolored kite
           C
Over shoulders taking flight
           C
And the local matador
           C
Gives two fingers to the girl next 
door

[Chorus]
G                    Em          
I had a dream that James Dean was
   D                  C
 alive and well today
G                    Em     D   
Looking for the quiet life, 
               C
working for Irish rail
G                    Em          
In my fathers clothes with a 
   D                      C    
blood nose, I sang isn't it so 
Cadd4 C
sweet
G                    Em          
By the slot machine there's James
   D                      C    
 Dean out cold beneath my feet
Cadd4 C

[Bridge]
    C
The disciples from the street
    C
All burst in through open doors
    C
The creaking of the stairs and
    C
The running down the stairs
Pure ecstacy

[Verse 2]
G                    Em          
The circus master smiles, 
      D                  C
pointing his finger at the mime
G                            Em  
I hear the distant call of a boy 
                   D               
named Paul who was taken before his
  C
 time
G                            
All the precious stones or the 
  Em                  D          
mongrels bone won't entice me, 
C       C
silly child
G                              Em
You just run on home for your 
                  D                
tea's gone cold I heard your mother
  C
 cursed you blind

   C
As the backdoor man feels wrong
C
For switching off when signing on
C
And the double-jointed thief
C
Wins an award
For pure indecency


[Chorus]
G                    Em          
I had a dream that James Dean was
   D                  C
 alive and well today
G                    Em     D   
Looking for the quiet life, 
               C

G                    Em          
In my fathers clothes with a 
   D                      C    
blood nose, I sang isn't it so
