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 F Dm I was in the war F Dm You were in the war 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 F Dm I was on my knees F Dm You were on your knees 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 F Dm I’m going to k**l a stranger F Dm So don’t you be a stranger C Dm Oh baby, it’s alright C Bb F It’s alright to feel like a fat 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 F It’s alright to feel like a fat 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 F It’s alright to feel like a fat 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
