Em

Take you to the cinema

and leave you in a Wimpy Bar

you tell me that we've gone to far

come running up to me.

Make the scene at Cousin Jack's

leave him put the bottles back

mends his glasses that I cracked

well that's one up to me.

Buy a silver cloud to ride

pack the tennis club inside

trouser cuffs hung far too wide

well it was up to me.

Tyres down on your bicicle

your nose feels like an icicle

the yellow fingered smoky girl

is looking up to me.

Em A7 Em

Well I'm a common working man

Em A7 Em A7

with a half of bitter - bread and jam

and if it pleases me I'll put one on you pan

when the copper fades away.

The rainy season comes to pass

the day-glo pirate sinks at last

and if I laughed a bit to fast.

Well, it was up to me
