Nobody Home

1. I've got a little black book with my poems in

I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in

When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in

I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on

Got these swollen hand blues.

Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from

I've got electric light

C7

And I've got second sight

I've got amazing powers of observation,

And that is how I know

Ami C+ C6

... When I try to get through

On the telephone to you

They'll be nobody ..... home

2. I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm

And the in, evitable pinhole burns

All down in the front of my favourite satin shirt

I've got nicotine stains on my fingers

I've got a silver spoon on a chain

I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains

I've got wild staring eyes

I've got a strong urge to fly

But I've got nowhere to ......... fly to

Ooooh Babe, when I pick up the phone

There's still nobody ... home

I've got a pair of Gohills boots

And I've got fading roots
