No Reptiles

Fm
Slip from the trees to the dirt to 
the menace
       Bb
To the wild to the car, under snow, 
cut to ribbons
       Bb
Like a coral to your shin, like a 
manacle to swing
Fm
Fresh from the breast, now a river 
running fat
       Bb
To the manor born a rat, to the 
manor born a flea
     Bb
To a flood to a drain, now a rubber,
 now a chain

[Bridge]
F            Dm
I was in the war
F               Dm
You were in the war

[Verse 2]
Fm
Plump from the sugar-water pump
                      Bb
With the city at your back to the 
cannon with a match
       Bb
From a milk into a mass grave never 
mind that, I can take that
Fm
Bones in a bowl like a 
toad-in-the-hole
         Bb
Take the shape of the mould
       Bb
Like a mummy on a pole and a merry 
little head bob around when you're 
dead

[Bridge]
F           Dm
I was on my knees
F                Dm
You were on your knees

[Chorus]
       Fm
And no reptiles
                         Bb
Just soft boiled eggs in shirts and 
ties
                               Fm
Waiting for the flashing green man
                       Bb
Quivering and wobbling just like all
 the eggs you know

[Bridge]
F                   Dm
I’m going to kill a stranger
F                 Dm
So don’t you be a stranger

              C Dm
Oh baby, it’s alright
     C          Bb            
It’s alright to feel like a fat 
             F
child in a pushchair
              C
Old enough to run
              Bb           Dm
Old enough to fire a gun
              C Dm
Oh baby, it’s alright
     C          Bb            
It’s alright to feel like a fat

Old enough to run

Old enough to fire a gun
              C Dm
Oh baby, it’s alright
     C          Bb            
It’s alright to feel like a fat 
             F
child in a pushchair
              C
Old enough to run
              Bb           Dm
Old enough to fire a gun

                  C   Dm
Just give me this one night
     C            Bb
Just one night to feel
                       F
Like I might be on the right path
                       C
The path that takes me home
               Bb             Dm
Wise enough to know myself
                  C   Dm
Just give me this one night
     C            Bb
Just one night to feel
                       F
Like I might be on the right path
              C          Bb  Dm
Old enough to fire a gun
                  C   Dm
Just give me this one night
     C            Bb
Just one night to feel
                       F
Like I might be on the right path
                       C
The path that takes me home
               Bb             Dm
Wise enough to know myself
                  C   Dm
Just give me this one night
     C            Bb
Just one night to feel
