1966 And All That

Am
We sat and decided as the seasons 
collided
     Em                   Am
That our love was purely utopian

If it wasn’t for my pills, my 
psychiatric bills
    Em                 Am
And your unreliable fallopian.

Then I guessed we’d be fine, 
embraced on cloud nine
 Em                       Am
Emotionally impossible to sever

You’d turn around quickly and ever 
so sickly
    Em                       Am
I’d tell you I’d love you forever.

   Em                    Am
If only you’d give me my Lev Yashin 
poster back
Continues after the ad
Em                 Am
Six months ago I returned your brown
 anorak
    Em                           
But you keep forgetting and it’s far
Am
 too upsetting
   Em                    Am
So baby Ferenc Puskas to you, to you
Em                    Am
Baby Ferenc Puskas to you.

Am
And you know it’s a shame but we 
were never the same
     Em                     Am
On account of your stupid amnesia

Through teardrops I stare at the 
wall that’s now bare
      Em                   
And I reach for the Milk of 
    Am
Magnesia.

And I’ll die on the floor and leave 
a note on the door
        Em                    
Saying “This ape has just left 
    Am
Gibraltar”

And in hell it will rain and I’ll 
say once again
         Em                       
That I’d stand next to you at the 
Am
altar.

   Em                    Am
If only you’d give me my Lev Yashin 
poster back
Em                 Am
Six months ago I returned your brown
 anorak
    Em                           
But you keep forgetting and it’s far
Am
 too upsetting
   Em                    Am
So baby Ferenc Puskas to you, to you
Em                    Am
Baby Ferenc Puskas to you. With 
boots on.
