C             D            G               C
Fish & Chips, Sandpaper Lips & a rainy pavement 
F           C                D           G
Soho lights, another night......thinking of you, 
C          D             G           C
Black cat, sat on a wall, winks at me darkly 
F                 C         D             G
suggesting ways and means that I might win a smile 
       C              D          G            C
as you leave the place where you work, until 12.30 
          F        C          D           G
and the Policeman nods as you pass along his beat 
C             D                 G                   C
Sweaty feet, troubled brow we're all in the same game lady 
F                  C              D                     G
Lifes no bowl of cherries, it's a black and white strip cartoon 
 
D           Em        G                       A
I've been warned that you and your friends are crazy 
G                     D           E             A
as from your heart you bear your parts to the Gentlemen 
      C                D
Who, while they drool trying to keep cool 
G                      C
Spill their scotch and water 
        F            C                  D             G
But I'm not that way, I must say... I'd much prefer to see... 
     C          D                G           C
You in your texturised rubber rainwear around 12.30
